Iname, Death Aspect is a total build around general that can be a lot of fun with graveyard animation. It is also very susceptible to graveyard hate because the deck can be pretty durdle-y and slow without Iname's ability to fill your yard. So far Orbs of Warding is the only card that protects my graveyard from bojuka bogs and the like. I've also added Duress and some discard to try to hit more trouble cards in hand or check if it is clear safe to dump all my creature into the yard.

Once the grave has Spirit this deck is a lot of fun. Mortivore , Nighthowler, and Bonehoard become really strong. Avatar of Woe is cheap and pumps the previous 3.

Some fun interactions include:Horobi, Death's Wail + Kuro, Pitlord = Pay X life: Destroy X creatures.

Conspiracy can get all the creatures in the yard if you name "Spirit" and get the whole team with Twilight's Call, Living Death, or Patriarch's Bidding.

I've recently added more sacrifice effects to try fueling Black Market, Dictate of Erebos, Champion of Stray Souls , and Westvale Abbey  . After playing with Tombstone Stairwell a few games I've realized how strong it is with a sac outlet like Altar of Dementia so I added two more token engines with Endrek Sahr, Master Breeder and Westvale Abbey  .
