Zacoly is bringing yet another budget friendly deck to the neighborhood!

Before I get into this deck I need to point out that this deck is designed for Pre-Oath cards, and I have put a few potential bombs in the maybe board... I'm looking for ideas for how best to update this deck

---

• What's the goal here?

The goal is to get maximum abuse out of 2 cards. Abzan Ascendancy and Zulaport Cutthroat. Using creature sac, and board wipes you will constantly be building an army of 1/1 fliers. When your creatures die you will get several fun benefits beyond just the fliers, draw, manifest, and forcing your opponents to sac their creatures and draining their health.

As your army builds your opponent's will crumble!!!!

---

A few fun but powerful synergies to look for:

Merciless Executioner + Grim Haruspex = your opponent must sac a creature AND you draw a card when he enters/exits. Add in Abzan Ascendancy and you get an extra 1/1 out of the deal, Now THAT's Value!

Pathway Arrows + Ruthless Ripper It turns out our little assassin does their best work from a distance. Pathway Arrows say "This creature deals 1 damage" and the deathtouch ability reads "any amount of damage dealt is considered lethal" That's fun huh? Even without a deathtouch critter on hand, this bow can pick off low HP targets, or tap down eldrazi. I like it mainboard!

Grim Haruspex + Qarsi High Priest = Manifest and Draw for 2! Keep in mind those manifested things are "nontoken creatures" for the use of Abzan Ascendancy even if the card underneath isn't actually a creature!
