Deck Description

Tired of the standard aggro decks that either nut draw or have limited option other than extremely fast damage. Think of mid-range-lite meets a dark-aggro blend for some durability and fun combos. Sac outlet was inspired by Aristocrats. Enjoy and don't be afraid to comment your thoughts as long as you are polite! Enjoy ^_^

How to Play

Updated 4/22/13

After much play-testing, the list has changed a bit. Let me bullet point this to everyone to avoid a wall of text.
- Gravecrawler does his thing by coming back and being a solid one drop along with Diregraf and possibly Vexing Devil.
- All four drops have flying and pose a tech threat. Aristocrat being the main piece of the puzzle here: a sac outlet to combo alongside Diregraf Captain and Blood Artist to deal a two for one damage. Gravecrawler serves excellent to sacrifice.
- Sacrifices trigger brimstone and tragic slips (morbid).
- Geralf's Messenger's undying is not interfered with Captain's +1/+1 pump
- Izzet charm and Duskmantle give card draw.
-Spear, Slip, Mortars clean board up. Spear can obviously hit in for last 3 if need be.
- Let's be honest, who will expect grixis aggro :)
- Flyers all go over, rest of the deck can go under and stabilize after board wipes.
- Rakdos can overwhelm and rush out Seer and aristocrat for 2, quickly dominating the sky.

CONTEMPLATING: Legion Loyalists to main deck in place of Diregraf ghoul. Less zombie synergy, but let's get real: DAT BATALLION (also takes pressure off other targets).

Thanks! Just brewed it up. I feel it is missing something. Otherwise It would have already had been created!

Because of the messengers you mana curve is odd, you could remove one steam vents and include a swamp, even better add 1 more lands and remove something 23 lands seem perfect for your deck.
but a good deck, i would also remodel the sideboard for slaughter games and rakdos return against control, magmaquake against stompy, and at least 3 pillar of flames, but that just me, keep up the good work.

Thank you for your input! Exchanged spears for mortars, and dreadbores/slaughtergames in sideboard :) Took one brimstone out and added a land. We shall see if this works this afternoon during a playtesting session.

Thragtusk usually first time, sphinxes rev, and resto angels are my top 3 targets. I can deal with the rest.
