This is my black
deck. Its type 1 and is for fun. This deck is based upon
shadow creatures at the beginning and using hatred. If i
cant get them killed by shadow creatures i continue the
game trying to get nightmares. I play my friend that
uses a deck with a lot of spiders and Kavu's.What would
you suggest to make this deck better? thanks a lot
for any help/ suggestions

Dear Squeeky,
Black Disruption and undercosted Weenies make for a
powerful combination in any format. I'll make some
changes to these strategies as well as make some much
needed additions.
First off... play with the restricted cards! They're
restricted for a reason, essentially because they win
games all by themselves. Mind Twist is an
automatic addition to any Black deck since it's the
ultimate in hand disruption. You'll also want to
play with Demonic Tutor, Demonic Consultant, and
Vampiric Tutor since you can go fetch Mind Twist or any
other card you need immediately. If the game
happens to go into the mid or late game... a well timed
Yawgmoth's Will can essentially let you recast every
card in your graveyard to overwhelm the opponent.
Secondly, Coercion will seem plain awful after you try
out Hymn to Tourach and Duress. These common cards
will be easy for anyone to get a hold of. To make
the decks disruption even more frustrating for the
opponent... run 4 Wasteland and 1 Stripmine to mess with
the oppositions mana base. There's nothing worse
than having no cards in hand, getting beat on by fast
creatures... and not having access to the right mana
anyway!!
Finally, I added a few one drop creatures to your
already impressive offense to make the deck work even
faster.
T1 Hatred
4 Carnophage
4 Sacromancy
4 Dauthi Horror
2 Dauthi Slayer
4 Hypnotic Specter
4 Duress
1 Mind Twist
1 Vampiric Tutor
1 Demonic Consultant
1 Cursed Scroll
1 Demonic Tutor
4 Hymn to Tourach
1 Yawgmoth's Will
2 Hatred
17 Swamps
4 Dark Rituals
4 Wasteland
1 Strip Mine
Final note... with all the evasion and disruption the
deck shouldn't have to worry too much about opponents
creatures. However, the lone Cursed Scroll in the
deck can be a life saver in certain matchups and should
be tutored to when necessary. It's ability to get
around Pro Black is invaluable and since it can deal
damage to the opponent it can act as a finisher as well!
Hope this helps... have fun!
