Option 5: Relentless Dead

After the success of the previous "Evolving Precons" experiment, I will be experimenting with another one. This time, I'm letting you guys choose the Dark Ascension intro pack.
There are five intro packs - Swift Justice, Relentless Dead, Dark Sacrifice, Monstrous Surprise, and Grave Power.
Swift Justice is a W/R construction that focuses on the early game with some back beaters and lots of combat tricks.
Relentless Dead looks to be a U/B Zombie creation that also looks to exile creatures in the graveyard as a resource.
Dark Sacrifice is a W/B deck that seems to capitalize on cards that sacrifice things and death triggers.
Monstrous Surprise is a R/G undying deck that looks to win a attrition war against the opponent.
Grave Power is a U/G deck that looks to take advantage of creatures in the graveyard.
Here are the decklists: http://www.wizards.com/Magic/Magazine/Article.aspx?x=mtg/daily/arcana/894
Happy Voting! :) You may convince the voters in the comments, but remember to "keep it above the belt".

Looks like Swift Justice and Dark Sacrifive are winning - the two with the $5 rares.
I'll probably end up doing one for the monstrous surprise deck because it doesn't look like you're going to be able :(

Honestly I chose dark sacrifice because that seems more like a strat that mtg is trying to push. I just want to see how viable it is.

Even I voted for it.
It's a really good deck. I've already changed it up before I even started using it
Looks like a close race!
What is the point of dark surprise?

What is the point of dark surprise?
"sacrifice a human" and the fact that it's W/B.
Oh okay thanks
Do I need to tiebreak this?

Nope, I reckon just give it to Dark Sacrifice as its at the top of the list 😜
A tie break for sure.
The winner will be decided by fate.
*drumroll*
Dark Sacrifice is the winner!
Note that this is completely decided by fate. I used www.random.org for the tiebreak.
Personally I think you should've had another vote..

Agreed.
I was going to do that, but the problem is is that some people only check the general discussion forum for one time and then leave.
I also didn't want vote manipulation.
As a result of some lobbying, I will be putting polls up.
Stay tuned.
