Description of deck by it's author
(quoted):
The second deck was kind of inspired by the first. I was trying to
come up with a way to make late game use of Dark Rituals and extra
Swamps. Zombie Infestation looked like a possible answer, but then I
thought of how obscene it would be with Land Tax instead. Duress is a
must for black, so I added four. Gerrard's Verdict was black/white and
it complimented Duress, so I added it as well. Zuran Orb makes Land Tax
even better, so it went in. I added Mishra's and Chimeric Idols because
they're immune to Wrath of God, and Cursed Scroll looked good so in it
went.
The Steel Golems are a funny story: I was tired of having creatures
stolen by Gilded Drake. Not only is Steel Golem a 3/4 for three with no
drawback in this deck, but it's the last thing a Survival deck wants to
steal. As it turns out, it's just a good addition to the deck. As it
stands, the whole deck runs on three land. The only time you'll need
more is if you have multiple Scrolls out; that means you can go to town
discarding land to the Infestation.
