This deck is more of a mid-range deck, and was my first Standard competitive build( it never saw play sadly).

The deck can hit fast and hard with aggro from gravecrawler, diregraf ghoul, and geralf's messenger, or it can run more control style by utilizing orzhov Charm and abrupt Decay for removal and blind obedience for stall.

The deck's ideal( aka my favorite) win con is the various forms of causing the opponent to lose life either through the effects of geralf's messenger or obzedat itself. Cartel aristocrat, cloudshift, and Eldritch Evolution are easy ways to trigger geralf's messenger's effect multiple times. Wayward Servant and Blind obedience's extortion ability supplements this mechanic. Sign in Blood is a great way to replenish the hand as well as a possible win con if your opponent is low life.

I would love to make this deck modern competitive and look forward to hearing any input
