Deck overview

This deck is a mono-black theft and aristocrat strategy commanded by Black Cat, Cunning Thief. The primary game plan revolves around casting Black Cat to exile high-value cards from opponents' libraries, then repeatedly sacrificing and reanimating it using low-cost 'Feign Death' instants such as Undying Malice and Supernatural Stamina alongside sacrifice-draw spells like Deadly Dispute and Village Rites. This loop generates massive card advantage by stacking exiled opponent cards while replenishing the hand. In the mid-to-late game, the deck converts this card surplus into decisive board control using high-impact finishers like Massacre Wurm, Bringer of the Last Gift, and Tree of Perdition, ultimately closing the game through combat damage with stolen and reanimated creatures or large drain spells like Exsanguinate.
