This is an "aggressive" deck that relies on key synergies between the core elements of the deck:

1) Counters Matter

2) Dredge/Reanimator

3) Pestilence

This deck is deceptively fun, due to the fact most people believe the strategy focuses solely around Skullbriar. While he is a key element to the early game, this deck is much more successful in the mid/late game when more complex engines are assembled.

Some of the winning plays from this deck:

Altar of Dementia > Lord of Extinction > Vulturous Zombie

Lord of Extinction > Korozda Guildmage > Champion of Lambholt

(Creatures) > Pestilence Demon/Crypt Rats/Pestilence > Vigor/Rite of Passage

Cards in Sideboard are cards in the deck I'm considering swapping with cards in the Maybeboard.
