Lord of Tresserhorn is just for show. I think I've only cast him once in any game. While it's a tempting win-condition, this deck is about filling my own graveyard and reanimating. There's a little opportunity for looting my opponent's graveyard, but I usually work best from my own.

The game plan:

I like the decks that run off synergy best, so I run lots of options to fill and reanimate my own graveyard.Entomb or Corpse Connoisseur always search for Sheoldred, Whispering One, but if I get Buried Alive first, I'll also grab Thraximundar and Blood Tyrant

There's a lot of room to improve this deck. Really looking for some strong suggestions from the community to give this deck some solid interactions. Thanks.
