Full disclosure --

I've only won with this deck once.

But it's SUPER fun, forces everyone at the table to make high-stakes political decisions, and treats life totals like flushing a toilet -- yours included. Say goodbye to hour plus games. It makes things quick and isn't so oppressive that people aren't having fun. Everyone I've played it against said it made the game quicker and more exciting.

Could probably use a few less creatures and maybe a tutor or two to grab important pieces. Exquisite Blood is fairly necessary for not dying, and Black Market is a big help. No Mercy is a good one to have out too as a defensive strategy (along with Dread and Crawlspace). Burnished Hart could maybe fit in nicely as well (although I've not had many mana issues with this deck).

Every time I've played the deck I've got Xantcha by turn 3 and plenty of cards on hand or available to draw off Xantcha if I'm running low. Runs smoothly and REALLY explodes if you can get out Black Market, Treasure Nabber, or Sunbird's Invocation.

Hope this build gives you some good ideas!!
