"Hurts, doesn't it?" - Kaede Smith, Killer7

Philosophy - Land deadly and calculated blows on opponents, eliminating them one-by-one like a graceful assassin.

Early Game - Play turn-one mana dork or Dark Ritual, or play Ancient Tomb by turn two - Have Virtus rush in and halve damage ASAP while blockers aren't set up, yet - Once blockers start mucking up the board, use any of the cheap spot removal to clear the way for more hits

Mid Game - Use Equipment and one-sided board removal to help maneuver around inevitably-growing board states and threats that seek to stop Virtus - Gorm helps clear away two blockers for Virtus - use Equipment on Gorm, too.

Later Game - Sorin's Vengeance to KO an opponent for style points - Otherwise, Profane Command and Damnable Pact also help seal the deal

In Case Of Emergency - If Virtus is incapacitated, use Quietus Spike and Skull Storm for other ways to halve players' lives
