This deck relies on aggro, forcing my opponent to sacrifice their creatures, and overwhelming them with deathtouch zombie tokens, and sacrifice effects, giving them no time to build up any resistance on the board.

Combine that with Deathbaron, allowing all tokens to have death touch.

Deathgreeter + Blood Artist also allows for additional damage, while giving you a good HP buffer at the same time.

This deck is merciless, and should not be played with any kind of compassion. It will probably work well in 1v1, but multiplayer might become a problem. The deck truly shines when you can Voltron Thraximundar, and just have him swinging for crazy damage with Unscythe, and either Vorrac Battlehorns, or Nemesis Mask. Either way, you cause devastating damage very quickly, and with a rooftop storm on the field, losing the commander becomes a LOT cheaper (0 for the first summon, 2 for the next ... etc.)

Roiling Horror, and Phage are both possible finishers to help end games quickly.

Basalt Monolith, and Rings of Brighthearth are a possibility due to their infinite colorless mana combo, which, if employed late game (meaning something went wrong), can still help salvage the match when combined with a few big Eldrazi, or other things of the sort.

The deck is vulnerable to board wipes, and some kill spells.

Winning Conditions:1-Voltron Thraximundar (with an Eldrazi Conscription when possible)

2- Akroma's Memorial (the death knell of any opponent)

3- Tide of zombie tokens with buffs

4- Zombie tokens sac'd to force sac on the enemy + blood artist + death greeter

5- Sac Combo plus roiling horror.

6- Phage the Untouchable + Artful Dodge (AD has Flashback too)
