So I have decided to build a deck out of the Battle for Zendikar card pool that we got from the Prerelease last Saturday. Good thing we got enough components to build around the decks. I referenced this build from Gavin Verhey’s column about a deck tech for BFZ Standard. It is a Black and Red based aggro build composed of Devoid creatures along with Hangarback Walker and powered with Ghostfire Blade and burn spells.

Here is the first version of the deck that I played at the local tournament yesterday:

Creatures
4 Dominator Drone
1 Dust Stalker
4 Abbot of Keral Keep
4 Carrier Thrall
4 Forerunner of Slaughter
1 Smothering Abomination
3 Endless One
4 Hangarback Walker

Spells
1 Altar’s Reap
3 Bone Splinters
2 Collateral Damage
4 Exquisite Firecraft
4 Ghostfire Blade

Lands
4 Swamp
4 Mountain
1 Blighted Gorge
4 Smoldering Marsh
2 Wooded Foothills
2 Polluted Delta
4 Bloodstained Mire
