Commander: Akuta, Born of Ash

This Akuta deck is designed to play Aggressive, but with an engine.

I've found in my EDH experience that offensive decks are usually begging to be stopped by decks with answers. Hence the reason people play answers.

Fortified with a lot of card draw, Ninjutsu, and many a recurrable Spirit, the goal of the deck is to attack your opponents with a swarm of dudes, getting value out of either combat damage or dies triggers.

This is something I'm working on fine-tuning. Looking to play less of the black "GoodStuff" cards and more experimental stuff. Suggestions and +1s are always welcome.

Out with the Good, In with the Odd — July 4, 2014
Edit

This being a pretty eclectic black deck, complete with a lack of dedicated reanimate spells, I decided to take away a few of the things that I thought were just GoodStuff cards I put in for the sake of extra added effects. Grave Titan, Necropotence, etc.- Just cards that people might expect to play against in Mono-black.

Having played taken the deck out for a spin 1v1 and in a three-player game, I got a chance to see the inherent value of the deck, and I'm now just focused on cards with these qualities:

-Haste -Card Draw/Engine -Gravedigger effects -cheap creatures -Sac Outlets -Shade/Pump Effects -Deathtouch, Lifelink -Life Gain (not Consume Spirit/Exsanguinate)
