Concept:

Dralnu, Lich Lord deck based on general value of the deck. The focus of the deck is to get the greatest value from your cards through graveyard recursion of spells via Dralnu, Lich Lord flashback ability.

Since Dralnu, Lich Lord has a pretty high drawback, bounce effects, such as Crystal Shard , and protections, such as Magebane Armor , have been put in place to deal with the inevitable targeting he'll receive. Counters are also heavily used for interaction/protection of Dralnu, Lich Lord .

Otherwise, interaction is important and will help with the game for you, or at least that's the idea, with the theft spells Bribery , Gather Specimens , etc.

Combos:

Demonic Consultation + Laboratory Maniac + Draw = Win

Dralnu, Lich Lord + Fatestitcher = Extra Flashback

Creature Generation: Army of the Damned , Talrand, Sky Summoner , and Rise from the Tides

Card suggestions/changes are always welcome!
