As you may or may not know, Mirage is coming to Magic Online in the near future. The trick is, back when Mirage came out, WotC wasn't yet making theme decks. So the idea is to create a theme deck for Mirage, with JUST Mirage cards.
Here's my submission:

This deck is packed solid with fun and interesting tricks for the new and experienced player alike. Its rares are meant to appeal to everyone; Abyssal Hunter is great for tapping down creatures and even getting rid of the little ones, and a timely Soulshriek can even get rid of a big bruiser. Spirit of the Night is a perennial favorite, and this deck even contains the creatures needed to search him out!
Regenerators (Restless Dead, Cadaverous Knight) and removal (Wall of Corpses, Dark Banishing, Enfeeblement) help to keep the player long alive to win, with its ability to endure the early game offering multiple opportunities for a late victory, whether it be through a massive Drain Life, the simple removal of opposing creatures until the player can swing with his ordinary guys, or in the air with a Ravenous Vampire or the Spirit of the Night.
The Gravebane Zombies, believe it or not, are the secret weapon of this deck; feed them to Blighted Shaman for a repeated +2/+2 boost, feed them to Ravenous Vampire for a very happy (and very large) bloodsucker, or just chump block with them and use the Phyrexian Vault on them with damage on the stack to put them back into your hand instead of back onto your library. This deck really showcases the powerhouse that black became during the Mirage era!
