Deck Description

Idea:
The basic idea for this deck came from my friend thomrueck. I took it and changed some numbers and cards (he will say that I completely destroyed it ^^), e.g. "Mogg War Marshal" instead of "Dragon Fodder". I've tried to keep this deck's budget rather low, in fact half of it went into the manabase.

Price before adding special lands: ~8$ (Mid Value)

Cards I was looking at:
Young Pyromancer ...would be an interesting replacement for Mogg War Marshal as there will be some instants or sorcery's flying around in this deck.
Hazoret's Favor ... a single creature gets +2/+0 at beginning of combat and has to be sacrificed at end of turn. It's an interesting card but I wanted a little bit more control over the timing to sacrifice a creature.

Tests:
This deck exists only on this site and has never been played against another deck. Regardless I'm open to all suggestions and ideas that may help to improve this deck.
I'm sorry for my bad English, but I'm no native speaker.

Updates:
2017-04: I removed Mogg War Marshal for Doomed Dissenter. The mana-costs are the same but it will shift the colour a little bit more towards black and the token you get from sacrificing Doomed Dissenter is more powerful than the Marshal's one. Also you can wait as long as you want/ need to sacrifice the Dissenter and don't have to make haste to make full use of the Marshal and his tokens.
2017-05: Act of Treason got replaced with Kari Zev's Expertise. It does basically the same but allows you to cast any another spell (creatures, sorcery's, not only instants) with cc2 afterwards without paying it. Only drawback is that you can't e.g. Fling the creature targeted with Kari Zev's Expertise because the free spell will be over the Expertise on the stack. But things like Temur Battle Rage will work. Also 4 Wrangle where added because it's a cheap spell and should often be enough to control one of your opponents creatures. Inferno Fist got replaced with Mortician Beetle.

How to Play

Enthralling Victor, Kari Zev's Expertise, Traitorous Instinct and Wrangle provide you with 13 spells that allow you to gain control over one of your opponents creatures for your turn.
Creatures stolen from your opponent can be used to attack him and/ or sacrifice into things like Bloodflow Connoisseur/ Nantuko Husk, Bone Splinters, Altar's Reap or Fling.
