| I think it has some serious issues winning. You’re trying to do too much at once, playing aggro (Bitterblossom), controling (Darkness), disrupting (distress, dash hopes) and not exactly doing a whole lot of those well. i’d pick a single strategy, and go for it. Want disruption with a single finisher? Then pack Nantuko Husk, Nether Traitor, PERHAPS a few copies of Gravepact, Distress, Smallpox, Rain of Tears, Thoughtseize, Mind Shatter and The Rack. |

id use zombies like
 
 
Lord of the Dead
 
Korlash, Heir to the Blackblade
 
Festering Goblin
 
Zombie Warchief (most people dont like him, but i think he’s underrated)
 
 
so you could sac them and then bring them back with lord of the undead
 
and also buff up your planet terror army with warchief and lord |

The Rack is the way to go. Run control/discard/The Rack for a win.
 
 
If you want black control, you gotta go rogues. Noggin Whack pwns.  
 
 
Rain of Tears seems a little, meh. Just tossed in there. I don’t think you’ll grab it soon enough to slow down their mana. So I’d cut it. |

Black decks aren’t the most powerful IMWO, but if you lots of experience, then do it. Otherwise I’d stick with white/blue or red/green.
 
 
BTW dude, welcome to the site. I see you are new so I’ll give a   to start you off. hehe I’m kinda new too, but if you have MTG questions, Felipe Musco is the guy to ask.   |

| I wouldn’t run Dash Hopes. Any card that gives your opponent a choice is never good enough, since it’ll seldom do what YOU want it to do. |

What the heck are you talking about? Dude, play a Rogue deck. I don’t play black b/c I think its OP. And...I’m really a red player. You know, chaos, direct slamming, setting things on fire is mostly my cup of tea.
 
 
Back on topic. F_M, I think Dash Hopes is great, because it either cancels a spell or you get a 2 mana swing for 5. Both rock. |
