IMPORTANT NOTE: I have changed my Kresh deck to a shattergang-brothers-edh-13-11-13-1. I will keep this list in case I decide to switch back.

This deck is a sacrifice-themed beatdown deck, supplemented by ramp and card-draw. Kresh is not necessary to win, but he can certainly become a big threat and the deck has cards to help give him evasion: Whispersilk Cloak, Lightning Greaves, Nim Deathmantle and Kessig Wolf Run being good examples. Things like Fling, Momentous Fall and Disciple of Bolas are also very useful with Kresh, and Malignus can stand in for him. Creatures like Wood Elves, Farhaven Elf and Oracle of Mul Daya are used for ramp, as they can later be useful with things like Skullclamp or Birthing Pod. Birthing Pod has certainly led to several wins, as it helps me ramp in the earlier game by bringing out Oracle of Mul Daya, and later brings out things like Stalking Vengeance (Which can lead to an instant win provided I have good board position). The deck can generate card advantage through things like Skullclamp, Phyrexian Arena, Harvester of Souls, Momentous Fall and Disciple of Bolas. The main ways to sacrifice things are Ashnod's Altar, Greater Good, Disciple of Bolas, Momentous Fall, Diabolic Intent, Skullclamp, Fling, Fleshbag Marauder and Birthing Pod. There is a fair bit of graveyard recursion in the deck, with things like Living Death capable of winning games. The deck has lots of creatures with decent P/T (around 6/6), which let the deck win through beatdown.

I would still like to get some better lands, probably a mix of shocks, checks, and filters. I would like more things that allow me to sacrifice creatures at instant speed, so High Market or Miren, the Moaning Well could also be useful.

This is my first EDH, feedback would be appreciated. My list has been heavily inspired by Kenjiblade's.
