It's an online deck just for fun. I just decided I wanted to do something with 'Darkest Hour'. It would be so much better if it said red instead...

any suggestions?

Well you could use the following cards to maximise Darkest Hour's useage:

Repentant Vampire
Daraja Griffin
Northern Paladin
Exorcist
Black Scarab
Cleanse
Nocturnal Raid
Stronghold Taskmaster
Xiahou Dun, the One-Eyed

Farcear

Repentant Vampire
Threashold is rarely achieved with this deck.

Northern Paladin
I just though it was a bit slow.

Daraja Griffin
I don't need this kind of removal. and the deck is ext legal at the moment without it.

Exorcist
Yes, yes, god yes. Pity it's not ext.

Black Scarab
Ext. Altohugh that being said i think this card is too situational, even for this deck.

Cleanse
WoG > this.

Nocturnal Raid
I've always been an Incite Hysteria > Rally kinda guy so i omitted this.

Stronghold Taskmaster
I'm running Urborg Shambler...

Xiahou Dun, the One-Eyed
This just sucks...

MatthewVII

Oh dear. I didnt realise you wanted it extended legal.

Farcear

its the only format in which it has a chance of winning

(casual is NOT a format)
