Get some cheap creatures down, get some sac benefits going (Zulaport Cutthroat, Cruel Celebrant, Bastion of Remembrance) and play a very grindy, low-to-the-ground game of Magic. Bastion of Remembrance is the card that most surprised me with its effectiveness, since the fact that it's an enchantment (and therefore difficult to remove) gives the deck a huge boost in consistency.

When you cast Final Payment, 90% of the time, the right call is to spend life, since life is rarely in short supply. The versatility of being able to cast Final Payment with other costs (such as sacrificing an enchantment or creature) is why I like its inclusion, despite its difficult mana cost.

Westvale Abbey  is mostly here for funsies. It's a budget casual deck, but I happen to have a copy.
