DUE FOR A REWORK AND REVAMP/WIP issues: play-testing shows more ramp needed for consistency, more self-sacrificing card draw creatures will also help increase consistency. IMPORTANT: greatly lacks self-synergy and recovery mechanics from board-wipes.

This deck focus's on quickly creating and maintaining a legion of expendable creatures.

The key strategy behind this deck is to kill everything else on the board with edict effects, make everyone discard answers to your army and drain your enemies of their precious life totals.

Key wording for the commander: it never once says "target", making Silent Gravestone a rather cheeky way to bar other recursive decks from stealing your thunder... it will shut down your Coffin Queen and other emergency recursion however. Make sure you pop the gravestone before any important creatures get into your graveyard (unless hating opposing decks remains more important) or if it is about to be destroyed.

Keep in mind that there is little to no available recursion other than the commander, but once you get your commander out you will be swinging and sacrificing: always protect your commander if possible.

Scrutinizing effects: Brain Maggot, Disciple of Phenax, Thoughtpicker Witch. Lets you control what your enemies can play with a bit more precision.

Emergency recursion: Apprentice Necromancer, Golgari Thug. The former's effect should be saved when your commander is out, the latter needs a sack outlet.

Creature based ramp: Blood Pet, Pilgrim's Eye, Soldevi Adnate. The thrull is great at self sacrificing, netting you extra mana every turn. The thopter can draw you all the swamps in your deck; great for ramp but also increases the consistency of your draws. Adnate is a mana dork who's hungry for blood: try avoid sacrificing her as summoning sickness will leave her unable to activate.
