[DECK]

        This is my version of a Suicide Black Deck.  Simply put, the whole point of
this
deck is speed.  This is made easy by having a horde of efficient creatures.

Death and Dismemberment

Creatures:
        4x      Blood Pet
        2x      Carnophage
        4x      Erg Raiders
        4x      Dauthi Horror
        4x      Dauthi Slayer
        4x      Dauthi Warlord
        4x      Foul Imp
        4x      Sarcomancy (not a creature, but I put it here anyway)

Spells:
        4x      Bad Moon
        4x      Hatred

Mana:
        18x Swamp
        4x      Dark Ritual

Strategy:
        This deck is played for speed.  No BS whatsoever.  Every card, except the
Hatred can be played by the second turn, and then Hatred can be played w/ Dark
Ritual on the third.  This deck has easily gotten third turn kills.  First
turn Swamp and a
one CC creature.  Second turn Swamp, and any creature.  Third turn Dark
Ritual/Hatred
on unblocked creature.

Sideboard:
        Sideboards are best used when tuned to the metagame of where you'll be using
it next.  I'll almost always put in Gloom to slow COP: Black and Light of Day.
Perish
is always a good choice to hose green.  Make you're sideboard the day of a big
even, and keep in mind the metagame.

Problems:
        Mana Screw can be (but rarely is) a problem.  It can race against speed with
the
best of them, but like most fast creature decks, it has a problem with
PropaOrb.
This is usually an unavoidable fact that you'll have to live with.  If
PropaOrb is
popular in you're area, throw some things like Cursed Scroll into you're
sideboard
and hope to get one early.  This deck isn't the best tournament deck there is,
but it
will win most of it's matches in casual play.
