Deck Description

Mass creature destruction, mana ramping and drain and gain.

How to Play

Keep putting out mana and mana producing things like Extraplanar Lens and Alter of Shadows. Any creatures that come out can be destroyed with Forced March (nice against a token deck) and Decree of Pain. 22 mana + Drain Life/Consume Spirit/Exsanguinate = Win.

Deck discussion for Drain & Gain

I'm not sure if you need Forced March, it's only one card slot though. Maybe remove it for a fourth Cabal Coffers?
I think something like wisps could be more helpful than Abyssal Gatekeeper.

Personal preference: Every deck I've ever played with Arena in it had Dark Rit. It's just so much fun as a turn 1 play.

Unfortunately, another cabal coffer is out or my price range right now. The Gatekeeper is there for multi play since everyone sacs a creature. Forced March is nice because it is better against an army of small creatures than Decree of Pain but Decree gives me draw power.
