I've been fascinated by Endrek Sahr for some time, but I'm just now getting a chance to build something around him. Nothing is over 6 mana, so it seems like it should be a pretty fast deck. I have some ways to sacrifice creatures for mana, and some to build stats. This should mean that my creatures can grow pretty quickly, and I should have a decent life pad to ride to victory.

I'm not currently running any wrath effects. That's probably not good. I do have a few spot-removal effects.

I am currently choosing not to add the Dictate of Erebos + Grave Pact + Butcher of Malakir package. In a completely different deck, I found that those effects drew too much attention and hate. My playgroup felt that they couldn't do anything until I was out of the game. Without those effects, I hope to play a little under the radar until my deck has a decent amount of momentum.

-- edit --

My initial build was oppressive when Endrek was on the board, and did practically nothing when he wasn't. There simply aren't a ton of token-producing effects in mono-black. I'm making some edits to add in sacrifice targets, and smooth out the deck in other ways. Hopefully it can still do things even when Endrek is in the command zone.
