Mono-black Mirage block constructed.

All of the decks in the "Ages of Despair" folder were me just fooling around, trying to learn about each block's blackcards by building a deck out of them. I mostly didn't take cost or rarity into account. A few of the blocks that are geared around multicolor (Invasion, Ravinca, etc) already used black cards when I was making the blue decks, so I didn't revisit those.

Dark Ritual speeds things up, as it's meant to. Dark Banishing, Quicksand, Coils of the Medusa and Enfeeblement stall by weakening or eliminating threats. Restless Dead are a good, early blocker due to the regeneration.

In the meantime, it aims for the combo: Breathstealer, Feral Shadow, and Urborg Panther, all for sacrifice, to summon the Spirit of the Night. And that's basically it.

It's like most of these kinds of things, though. There's too much removal and control going around in other decks to summon and sacrifice three creatures just to get out one only decent legend. In testing, it beat the blue decks 11 out of 20 times. I like The Unspeakable combo better, anyways.
