Deck Description

Just a beginner in the world of magic, this is my first deck, what do you think about it?

I'm trying to make a verry good black burn deck. It's a tough work, so I'm dividing the analysis in more decks:
1 - a deck made of cards with CMC of only 1 mana: http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=385678
2 - a deck made of cards with CMC of only 1 or 2 mana: /// still working on it ///
3 - ...

When I will finish I'll choose the best and cheapest cards; then I'll organize them and rebuild the following deck.

Here the Math:
Chance of having a first draw with 0,1,6 or 7 Lands is 15,61%
Obbligatory mulligan: 4,10%
Bad first draw (i.e. only one card playable in the first two rounds): 23,63%

Deck discussion for Who closes eyes dies

For your first deck, it's really not bad. But if you want it to be a burn deck, remember that most of the offensive black spells have high mana cost.
I would find place for things like Consume Spirit, Soul Feast, Corrupt, a couple of Cabal Coffers, and a pair of Nantuko Shades to discourage opponent attacks.

Other than that, good job.

Thanks for the advice! Cabal Coffers is a very good card!
I don't have time to answer now, but I'll do it when I have a stable wifi connection
However at the beginning this was the keycard in this deck: Maralen of the Mornsong
What do you think about it?

It's cool, but that's another reason to have more effective burn spells like Drain Life. You want to stay full of life, if you play cards that damage both you and the opponent.

Consume spirit, soul feast, corrupt, drain life and suffer the past: I considered all of them while building the deck. But the point is that if i put few of them in the deck it would be useless: chance of appearing in the game would be very low. If I put lots of them it would screw up the mana line.
What I need instead is some card that makes me draw more cards, do you know any of them?

Dude, you don't have to put all of those in. I named a few just to give you something to choose from, but you only need one or two of those.

Drawing in black is not free. It costs life. If you're ok with that, there's Sign in Blood and Phyrexian Arena.

Yeahyeah I know, but watching my excel page even only putting 3-4 cards with CMC of 4,5 or 6 it makes the chance of having a bad first draw very high.
Mhm ... i prefer Sign in Blood. Is there some card like: sacrifice a creature, or exile a card and draw a card? It's very high the price1 life for 1 card

Altar Reap, but I prefer paying life to be honest. And if you'd listen to me and put corrupt in the deck, life wouldn't be much of a problem because you would be healing yourself.

I like it. It's got a good theme and path to winning and it's not jammed with high money cards. The only thing I think is that it might have trouble if a player can weather your initial onslaught. I agree with the guy above when he says that you might want to add some sort of finisher, in order to polish off players who maybe have gotten by your initial set up.

I don't know ... do i really need finishers? I mean, if I'm faster than my opponent I can't have strong cards because they would upset my strategy, won't they?
My first objective is to reduce mulligans as much as possible, so I don't want any high CMC in the deck. In fact I'll probably take off curse of wizardry and blood reckoning
