The build is based around deploying these four cards. Sinister Monolith, Bloodthirsty Conqueror and either Marauding Blight-Priest or Enduring Tenacity (or if you're able to attack the player directly at all with BC and either MB or ET out). When SM, BC, and either MB or ET are out all at once, the game is over by creating a loop draining life from the opponent and adding life to you.

Gastal Thrillseeker is used due to its low mana cast and once it reaches max speed it gains haste and more importantly death touch.

Perforating Artist is another creature with death touch and forces the opponent at the end of an attacking turn to either sacrifice 3 life or non-permanent.

Feed the Cycle, Feed the Swarm, Shoot the Sheriff, and Abrade are there for instant kills for creatures, planes walkers, enchantments and artifacts.

**_You may want to play around with the amount of lands. Even with 22 lands, there are issues with drawing too much at times. Frankly the biggest issue with Deck is you need to draw 3 lands to really be set up good. Or at least a red and a black. **

I've replaced Redcap Thief with Fungal Fortitude for now. There's definitely some playroom to improve this build.
