The darkness rests tonight

Darkness death...the darkness rests tonight.  Making sure everyone caught that.

Here's my first ever darkness death deck utilizing eclipse (that I actually like)

Card by card.
Retrovirus: Your opponent using fractal? or mitosis? Spamming creatures? This thing takes a situation that you wouldnt normally be able to control with your weak CC and kills all the creatures pretty effectivly, while adding to your vulture.

Vulture: This deck spills over death effects everywhere, vulture is great at becoming your attack and can be your stall breaker.

Skull buckler: Kind of what I had in mind when I set off to building this deck. Weaker opponents creatures HP the more chance skull buckler will turn them into a skeleton. (Kind of a double edged sword with eclipse, but I never found it too problematic with nightmare.)

Eclipse: The deck spams creatures, this gives them all instantly +2/+1. Only play if you have more death+darkness creatures then the opponent.

Nightmare: A bit of healing never hurt, afterall, no sosac. (Can replace with sosac, but a lot of people prefer shardless, making it viable for CL to!)

Cloak: its an underused card. I wanted it in here. Lot's of people come packed with CC anyway, or PC or both. Stall decks especially, and this is ANTI-STALL except not rushing.

Improved steal: Haha. Combo's well with cloak. Gets rid of any permanent thats too pesky, which is annoying cause their already getting quanta denied.

Blood sucker: Had skull buckler in mind, wanted to reduce their opponents HP to help buckler, PC on a stick. With eclipse does some decent damage. Cheap.

Pest: Death and darkness never did get any more annoying, why not label ourselves what we truly are in this one card? Helps balence the quanta out while using Pendalums to not throw off draw chances by using both pillars and pends.

Pendalums: Gotta power em' all!   8)

That deck doesn't have anything of the strategies my deck has.. :/ Graveyard isnt all that great either. I'd prefer the retrovirus stall breakers. Has 4 death cards and death mark with 9 pendalums, way too excessive in death quanta. How did you find that better? o.O Played it, at the end of the game it had 29 darkness and 13 death left over. Mine had 2 death and 4 darkness.
Its a terrible rush deck, both won in 9 turns on ai3. Except yours vsed a rush ai3 and mine vsed the ffq troll ai3. Yours has one less healing card, but one more pc. Mine has 4 more creatures or 14/30 yours has 1/3 or 10/30 with same number of eclipse. So theoretically looking at it mine should be better, ill run more test runs.

Keep in mind that graveyard counts as more than 1 creatures for eclipse

The big thing I see, is if you have an Eclipse on the field, you're suddenly giving the enemy a load of 4/3 or 3/2 Skeletons when they kill themselves on your shield. This can work both ways.

Yeah, thats why you have to use blood suckers and nightmare to heal back that damage. Its an ugly process, but it works.
