[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.I already had a Golgari sacrifice deck, but I wanted to do something in mono black, and when I stumbled upon [[Xathrid Necromancer]] the deck quickly evolved into a human sacrifice deck. [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 "Sacrifice" where you kill your own creatures to gain benefits while slowly dealing damage to your opponent.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 released 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.
The star of this deck is [[Xathrid Necromancer]] which converts (nearly) all your dying creatures in to 2/2 zombie tokens. Only drawback... they come into play tapped. [[Dockside Chef]] and [[Village Rites]] is used to sacrifice creatures to gain card advantage while the rest of the gang simply rolls over your opponent.
