Quick Info
Attrition deck. Trying to get the most long-term value out of each card, utilizing the synergies of a dependable sacrifice outlet in Yahenni to build this card advantage. A few cards (Sidisi, Geth, Ob Nixilis, Mikaeus, Demon of Dark Schemes, Whispersilk Cloak, Black Market, Patron of the Vein and Grave Titan) I'm not entirely sure of, either because there are anti-synergies with other cards in the deck, or it doesn't particularly assist with the primary game plan of the deck -- ramp early, establish sacrifice outlet and advantage, incrementally win and/or swing with a massive Yahenni against an open board.
A few cards (like Jitte) are forced in as a means to recoup life loss. Ultimately I'd like to get to the point where each card included directly contributes to the plan, instead of being A Good Card If You Have Lots of Mana (Yawgmoth's Will).
This is a first draft, so that will take some time. Not a competitive deck, really, but the multiple Grave Pact effects can be pretty unfun to play against in a casual meta. Expect any sort of grave hate to basically shut you down: it's mono black, and you're not always going to have Karn in your opener.
Basically, building this deck was an excuse to acquire Scrying Sheets and a bunch of snow-covered swamps. So far that has garnered me minimal card advantage while goldfishing.
