Description of deck by its author
(quoted):
 This deck was initially built around Sanguine
Bond. The obvious M10 cards to add were Consume Spirit and lifelink
Child of Night. Syphon Soul followed quickly enough. I even tossed in
Divinity of Pride as a lifelink Black creature that can get dropped
later. If you have out Sanguine Bond, then even if you trade something
like Child of Night for another creature like Grizzly Bears, you’ll
still gain two life and they lose two. Players can only take some much
pecking before they fall. Syphon Soul turns into something like: I gain
8, my opponents lose two each, and someone is losing a ton.
Note that Sanguine Bond targets one opponent, so when
that opponent dies, the Bond is broken as does no good anymore. Use
Diabolic Tutor to get more if you don’t draw them off a Syphon Mind.
Syphon Mind is one of the best card draw spells for Black in
multiplayer. I mean, it’s no Decree of Pain or anything, but it really
rocks. It can keep you going with card advantage.
Another card advantage engine is Thrashing Wumpus.
Feel free to Pestilence away and plink small creatures and life totals.
Since you’ll be gaining lots of life, the plinking should be fine.
Stillmoon Cavalier can survive the Pestilencing and gives you something
else on which to use Coffers mana.
Cabal Coffers can fuel a giant Consume Spirit. Kill
one person, gain 15 life or so, and then Sanguine Bond kill another.
That’s a pretty nasty turn. The Coffers can also fuel a giant Wumpus to
kill everyone but you and your bloated life total, or can pump a
Cavalier. With protection from two sources, it can sometimes sneak past
an opponent’s defenses, and that’s when you want a Coffers and seven
Swamps.
Creatures are always annoying. I ran Rend Flesh as
emergency kill. With the Wumpuses and Consume Spirits, the Rend Flesh
could just be n adjunct, but it’s a pretty strong one.
Sure, the Diabolic Tutor was initially included to
grab another Bond, but Cabal Coffers, Syphon Mind, Thrashing Wumpus,
Divinity of Pride and Consume Spirit all make ideal Tutors targets under
the right circumstances. Note that you can have out more than one Bond,
and then I’d recommend you target multiple people. Turn a Syphon Soul
into a tool of death and artistry. Other cards to include might be Brush
with Death or Highway Robber.
