1. Use ramp to amass an army of Shadowborn Apostles.
2. Sacrifice them to unleash terrifying demons upon your enemies.
3. Use other effects to form synergies with their deaths, while bringing them back to life.
4. ???
5. PROFIT.

Key Synergies:

• Shadowborn Apostle + Shirei, Shizo's Caretaker is the key to this deck, enabling most of the other synergies. Throw Darksteel Plate onto Shirei and board wipes become your best friend.

• With the above combination, cards like Skullclamp, Harvester of Souls, and maybe Grim Haruspex allow you to draw cards whenever your Apostles kick the bucket.

• Pestilence Demon , Hellcarver Demon , Carnifex Demon, Shrivel , Blood Host , and their ilk allow you to kill your own 1/1's (or even board wipe yourself), trigger an assortment of graveyard/sacrifice/death effects, followed by Shirei bringing them right back to the battlefield.

• "Whenever you sacrifice..."/"Whenever a creature you control dies..." effects are the real fun stuff in this deck. Dictate of Erebos and Butcher of Malakir force each opponent to sac a creature whenever one of your "dies"; Village Cannibals , Mortician Beetle , and Blood Host get larger as you sacrifice little guys; and Blood Artist and Falkenrath Noble gain you life while draining the opponents.

• There are enough and cost demons to keep the enemy on their toes even if you aren't getting enough Apostles right out the gate.

• Black ramp provided by Liliana of the Dark Realms (if you can get to her ultimate), Lake of the Dead, and Crypt Ghast, coupled with the high number of drops means that this mono-deck takes of very quickly.
