This is my first try at a Modern deck. I really enjoy the Undying mechanic, so I wanted to build something around that. This is what I have so far.

We have sac outlets in the form of Nezumi Bone-Reader, Thoughtpicker Witch, Mind Slash, and Bone Splinters.

We have ways to reset Undying with Retribution of the Ancients, Hex Parasite and Scarsale Ritual.

Besides that we just have cards that interact with dying/sacrificing, such as Grim Haruspex, Mortician Beetle, and Champion of Lambholt.

Hardened Scales is in here not only to give a boost if need be (4/3 Strangleroots come at me), and it helps boost Retribution of the Ancients.

And thoughts, comments, and critiques are welcome!
