The purpose of this deck is to put Drivnod, Carnage Dominus into the graveyard, and reanimate it with Rakdos Joins Up Drivnod, Carnage Dominus + Rakdos Joins Up . This causes the Drivnod to enter the battlefield with two +1/+1 counters, and whenever Drivnod dies, the Rakdos Joins Up deals damage to an opponent equal to Drivnod's power. In this case, Drivnod would also trigger, causing the Rakdos Joins Up enchantment to trigger twice, dealing 8 (original Drivnod's power) + 2 = 10 damage x 2 = 20 damage.

The other cards are meant to support this combo:

• Rubblebelt Maverick surveils two cards making it useful early and late.

• Bramble Familiar ramps from 2 to 4 enabling you to play cards like Vile Entomber and Greed's Gambit a turn ahead. It can also be a discard outlet to discard drawn Drivnods and may even allow you to adventure late game to return a milled/discarded combo piece to the battlefield.

• Vile Entomber is an easy way to put either missing combo piece into the graveyard to recover later with cards like Cache Grab and Wasteful Harvest.

• Harvester of Misery is a one of that allows you to play it early for removal, or as a toolbox to card to recover and boardwipe tokens.

• Cache Grab and Wasteful Harvest are the search engines for the deck, self-milling and recovering any permanent.

• Nowhere to Run is a permanent, which can be recovered and a premier removal card.

• Greed's Gambit is a draw engine, stall card, that also functions as a sacrifice outlet to kill your own Drivnod or a discard outlet to put it in the graveyard.

• Liliana of the Veil is a control card, that functions as a sacrifice outlet to target yourself and kill your own Drivnod, or also as a discard outlet to put it in the graveyard.

The sideboard for this deck can be very toolbox-y with permanent's ETB effects and maybe even some replacements like Seed of Hope to mill 2 and gain 2 life for 1 G. Note, Hopeless Nightmare death trigger would happen twice with a Drivnod on the battlefield. These are some ideas, as I cannot predict the meta.

Assume some number of discard effects vs control, some extra board wipes like Massacre Wurm for tokens, some extra removal or lifegain against aggro, and some enchantment/artifact removal for specific threats.
