Just looking for a little advice on a black weenie deck. Here it goes:
4 Hymn to Tourach
4 Duress
3 Ostracize
3 Reanimate
4 Hypnotic Spectre
4 Carnophage
4 Foul Imp
4 Dauthi Horror
3 Smother
3 Diabolic Edict
4 Dark Ritual
1 Volrath's Stronghold
19 Swamp
Card Choices:
Hymn/Duress = goodness.
Ostracize - In casual some creatures can be just as dangerous as those nonland noncreature cards. Chose it over distress for it's lower cost.
Reanimate - For one mana you can take any creature out of your opponents grave, especially good when you can choose the best creature in their hand.
Hypnotic Spectre - self explanitory.
Carnophage - I'm iffy on this guy, he's a 2/2 body, but he's also the only ground creature, which means he could easily get stuck doing nothing.
Foul Imp - 2/2, can trade with opposing spectres - the sole reason I'm running him over dauthi slayer.
Dauthi Horror - Shadow + can't be blocked by those pesky white critters? yes please!
Diabolic Edict - gets those untargetable critters.
Smother - 2 mana removal that's not restricted against black, yay!
Volrath's Stronghold - Gets critters back in a pinch.
Should I be running more critters? Is reanimate a viable card in this deck? Should I drop some of the removal?
