Deck Description

After pulling a Dark Cerberus in a Theros booster I decided I would try making myself a Red/Black deck and focus it on humans so I finally had an excuse to use my Xathrid Necromancer. This is the result as it is so far, pretty much in Beta (hence the 80 card deck size).
Any input people can put is well appreciated and taken seriously. I have only been playing Magic for a couple of months so I could really do with any pointers in this deck (or either of the other two if you have the time).

How to Play

This deck is very heavy on the human front to put it in line with Xathrid. The overall plan for this deck is to take assaults at the opponents life directly by avoiding direct confrontation in the battle phase, however there are some measures that allow for a direct assault such as the 4 instances of Volcanic Strength to impart Mountainwalk and Underworld Cerberus which needs 3 minimum blockers. The fact that most of the creatures are human also allow for sacrificial effects and, assuming Xathrid has been cast, the replacement of these creatures. In addition to this, once Cerberus is killed, all the creatures that were put in the graveyard from the sacrificial actions are sent back to the hand so they can be recast.

rakdos cacklers are really good, pretty much a 2/2 that cant block (or a 1/1 that can) for 1 mana
