- This deck has all the basics of a typical Mono Black control deck with heavy creature Kill ( Chainers, Death Pulse, Mutilate ) and discard with Duress and Blackmail.

- 4 Shades are in it to get him out quick for some quick damage, and the flying sengirs aren't that hard to get out and with flametounge rotating out should be more useful.  Of coure you can't forget about Haunting Echoes deck crippling possibility.

- The fun combo though I play with this deck where I get 85% percent of my wins from is Megrim/C.Collesium.  With 4 of each in my deck it is not uncommon to have 2 megrims out and a collesium and vice versa. Once you hit threshold, target THEM with the collesium and make them draw three/DISCARD three. With two Megrims out, one collesium will deal 12 Damage, and if you get the megrims out early, blue cannot counter sac'in the collesium.  The tutors are there to help grab an extra megrim or collesium.

- Its a fun deck and it pretty much stomps weaker decks. When played against tourney winning decks ( tog', opp, wonder dog ) it definataly is beatable, finding the most trouble off the fast out green decks ( rootwalla, Mongrel, Arrogant wurm ) but I have beaten those types of decks and tog'.......It has a hard time against Opposition and ussualy loses.
