Deck Description

Easy deck to build, easy to run, easy to win. Faster than any deck in standard that I have come across, as it has a turn four win capability, and even if you don't get that, lifelink cards will keep you in the game as you wear on your enemy.

How to Play

Play as many cards as you can each turn, and turn your creatures sideways (unless you use Exalted.) Two to three mana is the best opening hand, with at least one creature, two enchantments, and a removal (preferably Tragic Slip).

Deck discussion for Mono Black Aggro Standard

Deviant Glee makes no sense with no red mana. Since your whole idea is to dump and attack Predators Gambit doesn't either and I think you're going to run into HUGE problems with any kind of normal standard aggro deck that is actually being run in tournaments. It has the potential to hit big for sure but any deck that can take out your creatures quick (which are most tournament decks) will dominate after turn 4.

I respond to control with control of my own. Sure my creatures are burnable, but so are theirs. If they remove a creature I control, then I will respond by blasting one of theirs with Tragic Slip or Murder/Ultimate Price/Human Frailty. My only real problem would be a mono-blue control deck, because I have no answer for Unsummon, but who runs Unsummon in standard anyways?
Also, Deviant Glee and Predator's Gambit are ways to quickly buff my creature: if it is Tormented Soul? Great! I have a 5/3 unblockable turn 2; if it's Duty-Bound Dead? Great! I have a 4/4 (intimidate) exalted turn 2. If it is Daggerdrome Imp? Great! I have a possible 7/4 flying lifelink intimidate. These all sound like killer options for aggro.
Lastly, I would put 3 of my Desecration Demons in this deck, but if you'll notice, it is a pauper deck as well. I suppose if you are really worried about late game, you could replace Deviant Glee with a batch of Desecration Demons, but I like this deck for the cheapness. Where else can you find a deck this effective that is this cheap? Anybody could use this as an extremely effective starter deck, and I would highly recommend it to new players.
