Fairly simple breakdown. Gatekeeper is awesome, Persecutor is awesome (plus Consuming!), Bloodwitch is awesome, Nighthawk is awesome, Sign is awesome... need I say more? Maindeck Hexmages can alternatively hate on Bushwhacker decks with first strike and more importantly any and all Planeswalkers (screw Jace the 50 dollar bill - okay, so he's still good...). Bloodwitches have protection from white which is awesome against Baneslayer. 2 Liliana and 1 Sorin are fairly common, and I sort of wanted to cut a Liliana for a Grim Discovery but then decided not to...
Point your Smothers at random things like Putrid Leech and such. It hates on White Weenie quite effectively as well, as does Consume the Meek (awesome B wrath sort of...). But I won't bore you any more with this incessant rambling - the deck is fairly linear and should be able to explain itself well.
R&R please, and thank you for reading.
