Nekusar Wheel Deck.

You'll want to get Punish cards up ASAP, and then start wheeling. Nekusar, the Mindrazer generally attracts a lot of hate, hence the need for stuff like the strixes and other flying deathtouch creatures.

A turn one Bloodchief Ascension is the ideal play.

Punishers and Wheels all work in different ways. Some punish cards trigger off card draw. Others off discard. Bloodchief Ascension only needs opponents cards to hit graveyard. It is also a MAY ability, so you can use that to your advantage in negotiating.

Keep in mind if opponents run stuff like Nephalia Academy , it still counts as discarding even if they put the card ontop of their library. Megrim and Liliana's Caress will still apply.

Duskmantle Guildmage 's abilities can be activated multiple times. Which is important, and bonkers.

Tokens hit the graveyard long enough for Duskmantle Guildmage and Bloodchief Ascension to see them.

I removed Sanguine Bond/Exquisite Blood. They both draw a TON of heat, and just aren't worth it... unless they give you an instant win, but then that's not satisfying.
