Deck Description

This is a theme deck (Like this deck: http://www.mtgvault.com/puschkin/decks/the-flying-dutchman/ )
This deck is not designed for any form of play. This deck is meant to tell a story.

I designed this deck soley to tell a story. I can never see it performing in even casual without a major overhaul.

How to Play

Once, there was a man named Eradus who spiraled down into madness. This is his tale:
It started with some Bumps in the Night.
The Bumps grew into terrors, and Eradus began hearing voices, voices that tormented him. Crows flocked his house, and Accursed Spirits passed his house at night. He began to hear scratching behind the cellar door, and dread crept over him and his wife. Eventually, Eradus began his descent into madness fully when some persistent nightmares followed him. He developed a fear of the number thirteen, and constantly lapsed into fevered visions of unknown things. At night, the horrors of his childhood crawled from under the floorboards. His shadows became spiteful, his perception, was shattered, and his body wracked with madness. The final straw was when he made the Gruesome Discovery that he killed his wife during the bad moon, and, in a final, desperate raving, drawn from his glimpses of the beyond, led him to fling himself of a high ledge in an infernal plunge. He is not remembered now, just another Victim of the night. But he wanders the world, driven by a haunted wind, a tormented soul, Wracked with madness.

Deck discussion for Descent into madness

Some cards that you could maybe work in:

- Terror
- Fear
- Spirit of the Night
- Chilling Apparition
- Bad Moon
- Nightmare
- Mischievous Poltergeist
- Childhood Horror
- Hidden Horror
- Demonic Torment
- Hint of Insanity
- Brink of Madness, Whispering Madness
- Gibbering Descent
- Ghost Hounds
- Lost Soul

With those you might be able to eliminate red and this make the deck more playble (if that's a priority).

I especially think that Childhood Horror has potential to lengthen and strengthen the story, giving him some background and reason why he is haunted (if so, also include "Agonizing Memories"). Speaking of "haunting", what about:
- Haunted Apparition
- Haunting Echoes
- Haunting Misery
- Haunting Wind (such a nice artwork!)
- Seize the Soul

maybe make into a commander deck with a "Legendary" (I.E, Somberwald Vigilante, for flavor reasons) with all the cards you suggested.
