“Doomsday”, a deck utilizing Entomb/Exhume - FalseFred

Black Creatures (14)
  4 Avatar of Woe
  4 Laquatus' Champion
  4 Hypnox
  1 Spirit of the Night
  1 Volrath the Fallen
White Creatures (1)
  1 Reya Dawnbringer
Black Spells (23)
  4 Dark Ritual
  4 Entomb
  4 Exhume
  4 Buried Alive
  4 All Hallows Eve
  2 Zombify
  1 Demonic Tutor
Red Spells (3)
  3 Fervor
Land (19)
  15 Swamps
  4 Badlands

Turn 1: Land > Dark Ritual > Entomb > Exhume (one of these):
	1. Spirit of the Night - Haste, First Strike, 6/5 (this has Haste, so 
normally I would choose this)
2. Hypnox - Flying, 8/8
3. Avatar of Woe - Fear, Tap to Kill Creature, 6/5
4. Reya Dawnbringer - If you have an extra Entomb in your hand, go for it. 
She’ll bring into play a creature from your Graveyard at Upkeep. Flying, 4/6

Turns 2-6: Spend a few turns disintegrating them with your massive 
creature(s) and using Entomb and Buried Alive to toss into your graveyard as 
many creatures as possible. Get Volrath the Fallen into play so that you can 
pump him while discarding creatures into your graveyard from your hand (a 
single discarded Hypnox would make Volrath a 17/15 creature for the turn, 2 
would make him 28/26). Also work to getting as many Laquatus’ Champion into 
your Graveyard as possible, the goal being 4.

Turn 4: Play All Hallows Eve.

Before Turn 7: Get a Badlands so that you can play Fervor. All your 
creatures will gain Haste, this is important.

Turn 7: This is doomsday for your opponent, if he has miraculously survived 
this long. All Hallows Eve will cause all of the creatures that are in your 
Graveyard to come into play. With Fervor, all of your creatures will have 
haste, so they can all attack on the turn that All Hallows Eve unleashes 
them. If you have 4 Laquatus’ Champion in your Graveyard, the opponent will 
automatically lose 24 life. That, in addition to a swarm of massive 
creatures, should indefinitely put an end to the game.

Weakness: I think this decks' closest thing to weaknesses are Blue Counter 
decks, and White Decks that completely color-hose Black with Light of Day 
and Protection-From-Black/Worship (Though nothing that 4 Laquatus’ Champions 
brought into play simultaneously can’t handle, hehe). The trouble is, this 
deck is very hard to compile. I play it with a few proxys right now, All 
Hallows Eve costs a whooping $15-$30 a piece!!! Not to mention the hefty 
price tag on Badlands, I may just have to use the cheap imitations; 
Sulfurous Springs and Tainted Peak.
