Cheap creatures built around Rally the Ancestors. The idea is to stick Blood Artist and flood the board with creatures that can be sacrificed to deal damage to our opponent. The lifegain from Blood Artist and Cultist allows us to be fairly aggressive with fetching shock lands in order to have access to Black, Red, and double White mana on turn 4. Rally the Ancestors can be cast for 3 or 4 mana depending on what we have in the graveyard.

Prior to casting Rally, we want to sacrifice as many creatures as possible to deal damage to our opponent and fill up the graveyard. Once Rally has been cast, our next upkeep requires that we exile any creatures left on the board so we want to sacrifice as many as possible to deal additional damage and put the creatures into the graveyard so they do not become exiled on our next upkeep. This allows us to cast another Rally and still have creatures in the graveyard to target with it.

Please let me know if you have any suggestions for improving this deck. I have had a lot of fun playing it so far. This isn't an extremely competitive deck by any means, but it is certainly capable of winning against tier 1 decks and it takes people by surprise quite often.
