This was my first homebrew deck that I created before all the Pro-Tour malarkey and before people began running the "Sidisi Whip" deck. In any case, my original idea for this came about when I was reading the Magic 2015 Deckbuilder's Toolkit insert, which discussed Black-Green Graveyard using Satyr Wayfinder, Nyx Weaver, and Nemesis of Mortals. I immediately thought: Hornet Queen has an awesome ETB ability; I should whip that in. However, I did not want my opponents to see it coming, so that's where the Nemesis of Mortals, Herald of Torment, and Sidisi, Brood Tyrant came in.
So, all in all, this deck build is a covert "Sidisi Whip" deck, in that the tools for that strategy are contained in this deck, but rather than that strategy being showcased, it is instead one of the strategies contained within the deck.
Thus, as discussed above, the other strategy involves getting Nemesis of Mortals out for cheap (thanks to Elvish Mystic for mana and Satyr Wayfinder for extra land and graveyard fodder). I either go for Nylea for the trample swinging in with a 10/10 (post-monstrous) or bestow Herald of Torment to swing over the top with a flying 13/13 (post-monstrous, of course).
Results: It does very well in casual play. Getting cocky, I ran it for the first time mini-tournament (6-person) a few weeks ago, and... I only won one game, not a set, just one game. I did not expect that level of Aggro or everyone to be running Crackling Doom (this was when Mardu had just done well in a tournament and everyone began running it). All in all, in this current meta of aggro, I feel that the deck is too slow. Suggestions welcome!
