Deck Description

[u]Basic Idea[/u]
This deck is intended for first-time players. To make a beginner friendly deck I decide to keep the deck extra simple, so that the new player can focus on getting to know the rules, tactics and understanding what's going on.
Mono black suicide is an iconic deck archetype and has many fans. The problem is that many of the "standard" cards the deck uses are out of legality or budget range. I tried to come up with my own version and keep the spirit of the deck: Win at all costs and use life as an additional resource.

[u]Cardpool and Budget[/u]
Mass-strengthening-effects (+x/+x to all creatures) and cards with multiple effects are not allowed. Lands are limited to Common's and Uncommon's, no Rare's or Mythic's. Other cards are limited to Common's, Uncommon's and 1 Rare (max. 4 copies) per deck, no Mythic's.
The overall budget should be between 15 to 20$. (Estimated mid value).

[u]Upgradeability/ Room for improvements[/u]
This deck is bound to a general strategy, named "Aggro", where you attack your opponent with powerful creatures as fast as you can.
As this is a general strategy, in opposite to concentrating on a certain keyword or tribe, it should be easy to improve the cards uses in this deck and to keep the deck up to date. New editions will often contain cards that can be fitted into this deck.

[u]Tests[/u]
I have tested this deck against other beginner decks. The decks I tested against are a mixture of Control and Aggro and the result are recorded in a spreadsheet. If you're interested in details from the spreadsheet, feel free to ask.

I'm open to all suggestions and ideas that may help to improve this deck.

How to Play

In comparison to it's name-giver this deck will be less aggro and more midrange, tough [[Dark Favor]] can help to boost your creatures for either offensive operations....[[Vault Skirge]] enchanted with this means a 4/2 flying with lifelink, and this as early as turn 2!
An early [[Vault Skirge]] or [[Gonti's Machinations]] can help you to lessen the life loss you will suffer in this deck, and stay alive long enough. The deck features a high number of draw spells/ creatures, and your goal will be getting out [[Bloodsoaked Altar]] or [[Desecration Demon]] to beat your opponent.
