This is a green, red, and black deck helmed by Sek'Kuar, Deathkeeper.

The primary strategy is to play Sek'kuar, and then build a board state which would allow you to constantly recycle your own creatures for value and damage. This can be done by playing, sacrificing and then recurring cards like Reassembling Skeleton, Sanitarium Skeleton, Gutterbones and Persistent Specimen. These cards can be sacrificed to cards like Goblin Bombardment or Izoni, The Thousand Eyed, which would not only deal damage or draw cards, but will also create gravespawn tokens with Sek'kuar, building your board state further. Other cards in this deck trigger on the death or sacrifice of a creature, such as Poison-Tip Archer, Forge Boss or Moldervine Reclamation.

As a note, Cauldron Familiar and Witch's Oven is a repeatable combo which produces one dying trigger each turn.

When playing against Volrath, the Shapestealer, once you've built up a board state, you are likely to overcome them with sheer numbers of gravespawn tokens in the late game. As the deck generally focuses on a few power creatures, a card like Butcher of Malakir and Shattergang Brothers will do a lot of damage to their board state.

When playing against Rienne, Angel of Rebirth, the best strategy will be holding your removal for their commander. With their commander out of commission, your board state will build up much better in the long term.

When playing against Alela, Artful Provacateur, the tokens you produce will be stronger on average than Alela's, and an exchange for your tokens for their flying tokens is generally a decent trade to prevent long-term flying damage. If the board state becomes locked, you can rely on cards like Blood Artist or Zulaport Cutthroat to see you to victory.
