Deck is work in progress. Removal, resurrection, and aggro. Win condition comes from a few different directions but all are connected to aggro. Idea is to sit back quietly until you have the mana base and then start Armageddon.

Tariel, Reckoner of Souls is the Commander, but functions more as thematic leader than win condition. Bruse Tarl, Boorish Herder and Ravos, Soultender could be swapped in for partnered commanders, likely improving the deck. Tariel along with Adarkar Valkyrie, Seraph, Geth, Lord of the Vault, Debtors' Knell, Grave Upheaval, Animate Dead, Reanimate, Necromantic Summons and Beacon of Unrest will all allow me to gather my army of the unliving from my opponents. Additionally. Gravedigger, Twilight Shepherd and Ravos, Soultender, plus Miraculous Recovery and Unburial Rites should keep my own creatures recirculating. Hell's Caretaker let's me get rid of weaker creatures cluttering my board state and retriggers enter the battlefield effects. Bruse, Sangromancer, Krav, the Unredeemed and Brion Stoutarm give the deck some life gain.

Aggro is ultimately the win condition. So Aurelia, the Warleader, Combat Celebrant, World at War and Waves of Aggression are nearly win conditions. Bruse, Honored Crop-Captain, Slayers' Stronghold, and Sword of Paruns will increase attack power. Insult // Injury and Gisela, Blade of Goldnight are meant to maximize the pain.

Wrath of God, Day of Judgment, Sweltering Suns, Bontu's Last Reckoning, Hour of Devastation and Volcanic Visions give me some board wipage to fill graveyards. And of course the obligatory Merciless Eviction though it will not fill graveyards for me. Spot removal is provided by Foundry Champion, Heart-Piercer Manticore, Brion Stoutarm, Cast Down and Hero's Downfall, Take Vengeance and Lightning Bolt provide some spot removal.

By Force and Shattering Blow give some artifact removal, and Beacon of Unrest or Geth could allow me to snag one. Invoke the Divine gives artifact or enchantment removal with a little added life gain.

In addition to some removal I put in some mill. Geth, Lord of the Vault mills when he grabs a creature. Mindcrank stocks graveyards as a static function.

Some sources of untap allow for extra uses of Tariel, Valkyrie, or Caretaker are Magewright's Stone and Thousand-Year Elixir. As well as my extra combat phase spells that untap.

Not much non-removal control, but Harsh Mentor punishes opponents for casting and Basandra, Battle Seraph gives some. Basandra can also force a target to expose itself. Guttersnipe adds a bit of damage for the casting of my 24 sorceries and instants.

Hoping to swap in Damnation for Bontu's if I come across one. Everything else listed I have.
