The owner of this deck hasn't added a sideboard, they probably should...
Start typing a card name and use the auto-complete feature to quickly select the card you're trying to add. Enter a quantity and add that card to your sideboard!
Submit a list of cards below to bulk import them all into your sideboard. Post one card per line using a format like "4x Birds of Paradise" or "1 Blaze", you can even enter just the card name by itself like "Wrath of God" for single cards.
Just when you've seen it all....ahhh shit! assassin deck!

25 lands + 4 dark rituals will make for a lot of weak opening hands with excess mana and nothing to do with it. I also dislike the inclusion of Dragonskull Summit and Drowned Catacombs just for a single Thraximundar. IMO, either drop some lands and make it mono-black, or drop the dark rituals and add more U/R mana production and make better use of the colors. These suggestions are tied around the idea of running mono black. -4 Dragonskull Summit -4 Drowned Catacombs -4 Dark Ritual -4 Grasp of Darkness +4 Marsh Flats +1 Swamp +4 Geth's Verdict +1 Demonic Tutor +2 Diabolic Intent +4 Bloodghast +1 Buried Alive +3 Thoughsieze Other cards you might want to look into: Curse of the Cabal, Phyrexian Arena, Necropotence, Braids Cabal Minion, Black Sun's Zenith and/or Damnation, Bitterblossom. Hope this helps!

hell yea u helped out, thanx for the advice, ill update as fast as i can click lol
what do you think of it now? to many x1's ?
Not at all. Good deck building is all about balancing the amount of cards needed. x1's are usually those cards that do something completely awesome within the theme of the deck, but isn't necessary to win. They're those "if you draw this, it'll change the pace of the game, but if I don't draw it, I have other answers too" cards. I definitely like the changes, this is shaping up to be something awesome. In my opinion though, you're running too few creatures to make use of Braids and Gravepact. Assassins are made by design to kill creatures, I think you should drop Go for the Throat for more creatures. Even something with death touch, like Vampire Nighthawk. Also, I think Kiku, Night's Flower is too inefficient. For the same cost as it takes to activate her ability, you could cast a Phyrexian Obliterator. So, I suggest replacing her with a pair of them. So.. -4 Go for the Throat, +4 more creatures (preferably CMC 2 or less, but Nighthawk would work too) -2 Kiku, +2 Phyrexian Obliterators You could also run +3x creatures replacing Go for the Throat, and run a Crucible of Worlds as well. It turns Bloodghast from being good sac fodder into being a full out sac engine, and provides obscene ramp and deck thinning with Lake of the Dead and your fetch lands. This also works well with Attrition or Hell's Caretaker.
i did the adjustments, i thought they were pretty good ideas. i want to add in the caretaker and attrition but couldnt figure out how to put them in. any ideas?
