The owner of this deck hasn't added a sideboard, they probably should...

Deck Description

I typically am not a fan of black, but ever since I pulled Nirkana Revenant and Nantuko Shade, I've always wanted to build a Shade deck. Thanks to the Infect mechanic, I've built this deck. It's supposed to weaken the opponent's creatures and pump up the shades. Black kill spells mostly are "nonblack" targets, so I built this one to work with all colors through -1/-1 mechanic.

EDIT/UPDATE: Have modified the deck to function better.

Deck discussion for Black Shade Infect

lets be honest... nightwing shade is absolutely terrible.... please replace it with crypt ripper...
all my other suggestions are so obvious that you've probably thought of them, and just dont have the cards.

I couldn't agree more. I don't have Crypt Ripper, but my friend has a dozen of them. I'll borrow them from her and modify then. The obvious adjustment is getting rid of seven cards. In all honesty, the only other improvements I can think of is more Black Sun's Zentih, Skithirix, the Blight Dragon, Nirkana Revenant (Maybe just one more), and definitely more Nantuko Shades. If you know any other, please feel free to extrapolate. :)

imo blacksun zenith is terrible in an infect deck, most infect creatures have very little toughness, all its gonna do is kill ur guys too, also instill infection is a terrible card, theres ones that do better counters for less, try virulent disease, also corpse cur and core prowler are some good infect artifact creatures as well

Ah, yes! Thanks! And, yes, most infect creatures do have very little toughness. I mostly use it to wipe the field before I lay down Nirkana Revenant and Nantuko Shade. It's nice against the bigger creatures, as I do not have a "destroy target creature" spell in this deck. (I wanted to work around both indestructible and regenerating creatures, and also go up against another black deck without the worry of "nonblack") Nonetheless, I will definitely consider Virulent Wound. Much, much better than Instill Infection. Corpse cur could be nice, but the aim is mainly the shades, and I don't have a lot of Infect creatures that give Corpse Cur much reason. However, Core Prowler would be a very excellent addition. Infect and to-the-graveyard proliferate would be a nice touch. Thanks! :)
