I decided I wanted to post my EDH decks as I am a huge fan of this format and wouldn't mind feedback on card choices and such. This deck is built purely for 1-on-1, and while that is not the most common form of EDH I find myself playing it fairly often and I've even heard about 1-on-1 EDH tournaments at one of my local shops.
The idea here is to go for a turn 4 or 5 win with Xiahou Dun and Hatred dealing 21 general damage. There is some disruption in the form of selective and random discard and land destruction. There are at least 5 ways to tutor up Hatred before casting Xiahou, so this seems like a pretty decent plan. Plan B the deck turns into a sort of black stax deck and grinds out a victory through a war of disruption and attrition.
I have not actually built this deck, but my favorite part of the format is deck design. I have several other decks designed but I posted this one because I actually plan to build it if or when I get my hands on a Grim Tutor and an Imperial Seal.
Great choice of general, I've never looked through that set. He's basically unblockable and has a nifty ability. I really like where this deck can go, and I'm glad you posted this deck, my friend needed a new black general since braids got banned.:D So I'll try to get him involved in designing a deck based around this general and hopefully you two can bounce ideas off each other.
Not sure why I cut Necropotence, should probably work it in. I decided against the 4cc card draw since it would want to be cast on the same turn as the general. Sign in Blood should also definitely be included, but I made this particular list before M10 so I just hadn't updated it yet. Wonder what I should take out for it...
