Lets see how much fun we can have with this 1/1Combos- Door of Destinies - pick humansDark Prophecy- Let them die or sac them to drawXathrid Necromancer- Let them suicidally attack or sac them for a 2/2 zombie Altar's Reap - sac a shadowborn for the cards you need, especially good if you already have xathrid, prophecy out or bothif you empty your hand the effect doubles from blood scrivener if you have oneElixir of Immortality- offset life loss from dark prophecy/ Blood Scrivener and get cards back, Staff of the Death Magus also offsets life loss, you gain more than you would think if casting off dark prophecy a ton of shadowbornsBubbling Cauldron- sac a shodowborn to offset lifeloss, and hopefully combo with xathrid for a zombie or prophecy for a card blood scrivener and and empty hand with dark prophecy will double - watch out for losing too much life, though I don't think it will happen, when testing this deck it seemed to gain life more than lose with the life gain mechanisms Oh by the way the idea is to win with a ton of zombies attacking, shadowborns attack early and suicidally once xathrid or prophecy is in play. empty your hand for scrivener bonus.In the side are some demons for fun and Blood Bairn which is great for converting shadowborns into zombies. I didn't want to main it yet because the idea was to put in as much draw as possible to keep it from running out of steam and the secondary motive was life gain to sustain all the damage that comes with necropotence like draws.there are not many swamps I think I can get away with having less since almost half of the deck costs 1 black, the most expensive thing being four but apart from that 1 card nothing is over three. Basically get three swamps and you're good.
