Well, you've got to play Sorin, but looking at black white you are quite stretched for playables, especially in the creature department. I've gone with an optimistic build of black / white splashing red. There is no mana fixing available, but fortunately we play only one double coloured mana spell. With an abundance of removal and some bombs so I like how this deck turned out, even the weaker cards like black cat will actually work pretty well with our game plan and there is a fair amount of synergy in the deck such as falkenrath noble and doomed traveller/gather the townsfolk, the cleaver with the humans, the torturer and brain weevil with the thraben sentry, etc.

Hey guys, i'm pretty new to limited and trying to improve a lot, so any constructive criticism would be great. To dusk007, I got the impression limited was a creature format, so i'm curious about how you have few creatures. Would that deck hold it's own you think?

Yeah, you really can't ignore Sorin. BWu could have worked too, but Red's removal made it the best choice.

Okay, here is the clincher. I've been waiting to say this.

The "cam girl" this was inspired by was just a girl from a social networking website, Stickam. Her name was TinyTerror and she was just a regular girl who was on her webcam, totally unrelated to any type of adult content.

I hope you all feel really smart now.

This is like someone coming into class with a bloody nose and everyone's like "Jeez what happened to you" and they're like "I ran into a wall" and everyone laughs at them for being an idiot but then at the end of the class they say "HAHA JUST KIDDING I PUNCHED MYSELF IN THE FACE!!!!!! TALK ABOUT OWNED HAHAHAHAHA"

I really enjoy imagining this from Kevin's perspective. Because in Kevin's world, Rosewater actually reads everything he types. Mark is sitting there right now, reading this, and thinking "The greatest trick the devil ever pulled. . ." Or some such. He chuckles low, then clicks on "The Best Of KEVINSET" and says "Yes, this'll do just fine. A busty lady with banding who deals direct damage to Zones!? Why this will be the star of my next set, and no one will ever believe you Kevin." Then he closes his Macbook, so his servant may move it out of the way, while another servant puts a Fetal Richard Garfield Clone lathered in Steak Sauce in front of him. Then Mark Feasts.


Sorin walked into the chamber where his newly wed bride, Vampy, awaited. A beam of moonlight illuminated his brilliant silver hair as he strode with confidence towards the bed. His shirtless body showcased his powerful abdominal muscles and he was wearing jeans with holes in the knees.

Had to cut one of my favourite cards (Haunted Fengraf) to make this work, but I think this deck works pretty okay. There's so many Zombie synergies in this pool, BUw seems like the strongest combination.

I'm really surprised to see everyone force themselves into a BW deck when they don't have the creatures just because there's a Sorin available.  Especially when GR is in such a great position. Aside from a couple forced creatures in GR ( Boneyard Wurm , Russet Wolves ) I certainly can't complain. The removal suite is quite solid and Wild Hunger allows you to close games fast.

The other option is to pair up a UR deck. It's a little more defensive than the GR setup, might be harder to trigger Curse of Stalked Prey and has less defense against fliers however.

I can understand not wanting to pass over Sorin, but both black and white seem to be lacking in creatures and strong supporting spells. White only has 5 creatures and black only has 4 playable with Farbog Boneflinger being the only real stand out.

I looked at Sorin, then the BW combonation and was like "It's a TRAP!" I did end up putig it in my deck because splashing some white and Black was good for flashback and had some cards that would go nicely (Including Sorin). I decided to go with an aggro-beatdown deck, which probably wasn't the best option.
