A black deck to be used passively, ramp your mana really hard, then pop exsanguinate and win. For a more aggressive play style if you're opponents already know this deck, switch out some stuff for your sideboard to make it slightly more aggro. Strategies: Using Grave Titan, Army of the Damned + Endless Ranks of the Dead , and Abhorrent Overlord to build a wall of creatures. Using Exquisite Blood, Sangromancer and whenever you're satisfied, use Eternity Vessel to keep you nice and healthy. Using your various boardwipes and card removal to keep everyone off your back, Dictate of Erebos + Infernal Darkness if things get out of hand. Magus of the Will + Yawgmoth's Will are for emergencies (you're wincons have been wheeled away) . You have lots of mana ramping in this deck, keep that up and keep it on board with your recursion spells. Finally, use either Exsanguinate Death Cloud or Pestilence Demon to end the game. Razaketh only exists to pop out one of these, people are going to be confused the first time around. If you never attack then you're doing it right. Be careful about using exquisite blood, it's nice but people panic if they think you're gonna try and use that infamous combo, you don't want people targeting you.
