First thing's first:
I know that Elbrus, the Binding Blade is not a legal general. My local play-group has given me their blessings to try it out anyway. I think it's not too much of a stretch, since it's a legendary equipment that transforms into a legendary creature. If the people I'm about to start a game with have a problem with me using a technically illegal general, I'll just play something else. If Elbrus turns out to be too powerful as a general, I won't play it at all. In the meantime, I'd like some help with the list:
Elbrus, the Binding Blade
Dauthi Slayer
Dauthi Horror
Tormented Soul
Dauthi Marauder
Nether Traitor
Dauthi Mindripper
Dauthi Cutthroat
Dauthi Warlord
Dauthi Ghoul
Stronghold Rats
Dauthi Jackal
Dauthi Mercenary
Vault Skirge
Will-o'-the-Wisp
Plague Stinger
Bitterblossom
Okiba-Gang Shinobi
Ink-Eyes, Servant of Oni
Throat Slitter
Sword of Fire and Ice
Mask of Memory
Lightning Greaves
Sword of Light and Shadow
Umezawa's Jitte
Grafted Exoskeleton
Swiftfoot Boots
Fireshrieker
Loxodon Warhammer
Inquisitor's Flail
Ashes to Ashes
Demonic Tutor
Damnation
Phyrexian Arena
Nihil Spellbomb
Graveborn Muse
Vampiric Tutor
Grave Pact
Amulet of Unmaking
Brittle Effigy
Infernal Darkness
Skeletal Scrying
Mind Twist
Mind Shatter
Promise of Power
Yawgmoth's Will
Myojin of Night's Reach
All is Dust
Murder
Sol Ring
Mana Vault
Mox Opal
Chrome Mox
Grim Monolith
Dark Ritual
Basalt Monolith
Thran Dynamo
Worn Powerstone
Charcoal Diamond
Everflowing Chalice
Leaden Myr
Palladium Myr
Coalition Relic
Plague Myr
Ancient Tomb
City of Traitors
Crystal Vein
Peat Bog
Ebon Stronghold
Lake of the Dead
Untaidake, the Cloud Keeper
Bojuka Bog
Vault of Whispers
Inkmoth Nexus
Strip Mine
Wasteland
Scrying Sheets
25 Snow-Covered Swamp
Pretty straightforward. The idea is to use an unblockable dude to flip Elbrus as quickly as possible. The ninjas just made sense with so many unblockable guys already in the deck. Plan B is poison. Plan C is unblockable equipment beats.
The rest of the deck in miscellaneous mono-black good stuff. This is where I feel I need the most help. The mass discard is included because my general is especially weak to removal, since it has, at best, double summoning sickness (it can't attack the turn it flips because you must have already attacked to flip it). Aside from that it's a pretty arbitrary mix of card draw and removal.
Mishra's Workshop, Mana Crypt, Imperial Seal, and Grim Tutor are excluded for budget reasons.
Also, I can't seem to get Elbrus' flip side to display, so here's the text:
Withengar Unbound
Legendary Creature - Demon
Flying, intimidate, trample
Whenever a player loses the game, put thirteen +1/+1 counters on Withengar Unbound.
13/13
