Sideboard

Notes:
Quick brew that went 3-1-0 @ FNM. Suggestions appreciated. I wanted to make use of undying creatures, but I wasn't sure splashing green would be worth it. Lost horribly in games where my opponent kept dropping thragtusks repeatedly.

SIDEBOARD: 3 reverberates, 3 thundermaw, 2 corrupt, 1 killing wave, 2 mutilate, 4 vexing devil

You might want to consider adding vexing devil and brimstone volley to your main deck, especially if your focus is killspell.dec.

Pirate John

It's not. It's a sac deck. The kill spell is just a precautionary measure

Even so, 5 damage for 3 mana isn't bad. Although I do like your ideas. Consider Altar's Reap? Another sac outlet and it gives you card advantage.

Trade the spike jesters for  {Blood Artist}.

This deck needs the hasters. I tried blood artist and it just ended up slowing me down.

I typically clear the board turn 3, 4, or 5 with showstopper depending on the match up.

And you're right, 5 dmg for 3 mana is great. It just seems a little mana heavy for this deck.
