Deck discussion for Necropotence

Necropotence is hands-down my favorite card! So I love looking at other people's takes on this powerhouse. Let's see what we have here.

Right off the bat, I look for Dark RItual...I don't see it here. While I can justify not playing it in a two color deck, the importance of having it in this particular build is backed up by the high mana costs that exist in the deck. You really need the mana base that Rit offers you so that you can increase the speed in which you can succeed.

Exsanguinate is a great card, especially in a multi-player format. To help power it up, Cabal Coffers is a strong consideration. Back Cabal Coffers up with Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth and one Exsanguinate can turn the tide.

Because of the advantage that Necropotence gives it's player, you might look into increasing your protection/defense through means of disruption (discard) and/or board control (removal). I can imagine you love pulling a Doom Blade, but I question if you get it/them as often as you need. Look towards Geth's Verdict, Go For the Throat, Diabolic Edict, or board clearers like Damnation or Mutilate to help keep you alive.

Black/White cards that will find AMAZING use here come from Vindicate (a necessity in almost any B/W build) and Death Grasp.

Take a look at my Necropotence build for some more ideas. I've been fine tuning it over the years and it's only recently received a creature (prior to Phyrexian Obliterator it was a 100% creature-less deck). Hope you like it: http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=86456.
