The main idea is to never let your creatures die for too long using reanimator tactics (Unburial Rites) and to flicker Thragtusk and Obzedat, Ghost Council until you completely overwhelm your opponent.

The playstyle here is going to be (Ideally) ramping into a turn 3 Thragtusk, setting yourself at an advantage over your opponent right off the bat. From then on, you should be blowing up your opponents permanents using Abrupt Decay and Murder, putting them at a disadvantage. Drop an Obzedat to net some life-steal and flicker him to your hearts content.

Flickering Thragtusk is always fun, as you just keep netting life and tokens, and flickering Obzedat speeds up the game.

Mikaeus, the Unhallowed is very important to this deck. He damn near shuts down Naya/Boros Humans and he gives all your creatures a second chance to live, and with Obzedat and Thragtusk, that activates their ETB's too. Very powerful card.

Well, I hope you like my take on the current Junk Rites. +1's and comments are appreciated. Sideboard will come later.

Stands very well against this matchup. Lost once to all of his counters, as once he got the hang of what I was doing, he Snapcaster Mage'd all of his Psychic Strikes to counter my fatties.

In that game, boarded in the 2 Armada Wurms and a single Sigarda, Host of Herons. Added more fatties to overwhelm his counterspells, as psychic strike was his only one.

As of now, I'm putting in 3 Loxodon Smiters to combat discard and control in general.
