Creature control is the name of the game. Removal by forcing your opponent to sacrifice their creatures instead of targeting individual creatures. Do your friends play a lot of creature intensive decks? Well, this is the deck that will cause an altercation every time they have to play it!

Remember to +1 if you like the deck! :)

SACRIFICE

• Geth's Verdict

• Gatekeeper of Malakir

• Fleshbag Marauder - Can get around Leyline of Sanctity and Witchbane Orb because it doesn't target.

• Desecration Demon

BEATERS

• Gravecrawler

• Bloodsoaked Champion

• Desecration Demon

• Geralf's Messenger

• Fleshbag Marauder

• Mortician Beetle

TRIGGERS

• Blood Artist

• Mortician Beetle

OTHER

• Duress to get rid of any non-creatures, since we shouldn't have any trouble with them once they're on the battlefield.

• Erebos, God of the Dead Other than easily becoming a big beater, he hates opponent life gain and allows me to draw if needed. Draw was an engine that I found this deck lacking, which is the main reason for adding him.

• Gray Merchant of Asphodel I found I needed more late game drops and what better way to end a game than with Gray Merchant?

• Dismember for direct removal if needed.

SIDEBOARD

• Contaminated Ground mainly helps against decks like Tron that depend completely on the right land production, but also helps against any manlands.

• Virulent Plague & Illness in the Ranks for token control.

• Nihil Spellbomb for graveyard hate.

• Witchbane Orb for burn or discard.

• Lost Legacy for getting rid of any nasty combo cards.

• Underworld Dreams just to be a pain in the ass.

COMBOS

• Fleshbag Marauder + Geralf's Messenger

• Mortician Beetle + anything from the sacrifice section.

• Fleshbag Marauder + Gravecrawler

• Blood Artist + anything from the sacrifice section.

• Bloodsoaked Champion + Merciless Executioner

• Bloodsoaked Champion + Fleshbag Marauder

I'm trying to keep the budget for this deck as low as possible, so please keep that in mind when making suggestions.
