Super-aggresive black deck designed to swarm the field, hit hard and hit fast while utilizing a lot of bleeding effects.
Mardu Shadowspear: A paltry 1/1 body but with a nice bleed effect, dealing damage even if it doesn't get through.
Bloodsoaked Champion: A recurring little asshole 2/1 for one. Can't block, don't care.
Mardu Skullhunter
: Passable 2/1 body with the bonus of causing my opponent some card disadvantage.
Spiteful Returned
: Admittedly bad stats, great bleeding effect like Mardu Shadowspear. Also, bestow if needed; actually, a turn three Master of the Feast followed by a turn four bestowed
Spiteful Returned
is very, very scary.
Pain Seer
: Basic 2/2 bear, with an inspired ability that grants me extra cards to keep the pain coming.
Mardu Strike Leader
: 3/2 for three is whatever, but making a 2/1 every time it attacks is frickin' sweet. Dash adds even more utility to this guy, letting me sneak in some free damage and make a dude if the field is open.
Mogis's Marauder
: At worst this guy is an intimidating hasty 2/2 for three; that alone is decent, as Black doesn't exactly get much haste (I will miss you,
Rakdos Shred-Freak
). At best, he grants everyone on the field haste and conditional evasion, usually getting around 8 or more damage in and often enough to end the game.
Master of the Feast: 5/5 flyer for three?! Yes please! Yeah he gives my opponent free cards, but he should kill them before they make much use of those cards.
Brutal Hordechief: 3/3 for four? Meh. 3/3 for four who lets all my attackers bleed my opponent for 1 AND heal me for 1? Now we're talking!
Bile Blight: Kills troublesome low drops, and brings bigger guys trying to block down to killable size. Also gets rid of token swarms.
Hero's Downfall: Kills creatures and, perhaps more importantly, Planeswalkers that could give me a hard time, like Kiora, the Crashing Wave or Sorin, Solemn Visitor.
