This deck is the oldest deck I have. With some revisions obviously since things like extirpate and cranial extraction didn’t exist back in the day. But the deck has kept the same feel, super black control with unblockable creatures. “They have knifes for every soul.” – Lyna, Soltari emissary

you can only block creatures with wall of souls. This deck would be great if you could block more creatures, and don't say edicts deal with creatures cause isn't good enough. The deck is good but that is the only problem I see. Sadistic sacrament and extirpate could probably leave the deck.

Ya, I do only have one blocker, but you have no idea how hard it is when I make them sac there creatures and then extirpate that creature from there deck. Sacrament searches out another one of their creatures and then extraction gets rid of another. Have you ever played a creature heavy deck and your three big creatures are completely gone from your deck? I can tell you, that it isn’t fun. Now, on that point, I don’t have mass removal, and my deck is not a weenie deck in the sense that it respond fast enough after a wrath effect. But this deck has been working for me since tempest. Yes, sometimes it gets over run, but most of the time my opponent never have more than two creatures in play at one time. Thank you for your suggestion though.
Not a bad deck by any standard, but there are a few card choices that have me confused. Wall of Shadows doesn't seem to fit with the rest of the deck; it is a purely defensive card, while the rest of the deck wants to beat the opponent ASAP. It's cliche, but sometimes the best defense is a strong offense. I'd suggest swapping out the Wall of Shadows for an additional attacker; you have all the decent shadow creatues in there already, so maybe go with a classic suicide one-drop like Carnophage, Sarcomancy, or Vampire Lacerator? Also, where are Dark Ritual and Duress? Both cards are crucial to getting an early lead on the opponent. The hand disruption Duress offers is far better than the delayed benefits of hitting an opponent with a Sadistic Sacrament. If you strip the opponent of what they actually have in the moment, it buys you a window of opportunity to win with your small creatures. A card like Sadisitc Sacrament does nothing to effect the game in the present, so it has little relevance to a deck that wants to race the opponent to a quick victory.
Good points with the dark ritual and duress. Duress is a strong card but I have enough deck removal already that any spell they cast will more than likely get casted only once if that. But it’s a good idea. And dark ritual, well, I used to play that in there but I took it out because it was almost too much mana, I was catching myself with a land or two in my hand and then top decking a dark ritual instead of anything else. So I took them out and I think I put in the Nether Traitor when that came out. Now the Wall of Souls, you were saying the best defense is a good offence. Check the text on that wall; it is as much of an offensive card as a defensive one. And I’ve had that wall save me so many times you have no idea. But thank you for the suggestions.
