Deck Description

Assassination

How to Play

Use Disciple of deceit to bring required cards to hand (with the exception of the avatar and the spells/enchantments, most other permanents are 3 mana) - doppleganger can copy any discarded creatures ability: crawl space to limit attackers, mourning to target agent of fates.

Black Market for end game. Should have sufficient mana to repeat cast mourning for board control.

Deck discussion for Assassination

Took me a while to figure out how you were using Mourning for board control. Nice combo. You could possibly add something like Ashiok's Adept to give it value if you happened to not draw Agent of the Fates but that is not essential.
I feel you should take out Aqueous Form for a low mana-cost, evasive creature, maybe Tormented Soul or some blue flier (which would also help your mana curve). Even though Aqueous Form does have the bonus of triggering Agent of the Fates, you cannot count of drawing both cards in every game. You also have no other good target for Aqueous Form. All your other creatures have low power or Fear. Futhermore, the great recurring problem with auras is that they can leave you two-for-oned with an opponent killing two of your permanents with one cheap spell and the risk is not particularly worth it.
I really like how you're using Hidden Strings. It can trigger Heroic and Inspired, untap your Assassins, psuedo-ramps mana and tap opponents creature to help Royal Assassin. Adding something like Tormented Soul would further increase its potential. Alternatively, to fit with your assassin theme, Thrill-Kill Assassin and Ruthless Ripper have deathtouch, giving them psuedo-evasion as they probably won't be blocked. +1

Thanks for the feedback - ruthless ripper would fit the theme well ill throw it in place of the aqueous form :)

Lilliana vess would be cool in this. Use the stuff you have to get a bunch of creatures in the graveyard and pull her ultimate off and gain control of all of them.
