I initially built this deck in response to my buddy's Black/White Ghost Council deck. He had like 20 bloody board wipes in that deck. I was sick of it and wanted a deck that could thrive even after getting blown up, so I came up with this:

This combo deck is based around a very basic concept: Sacrificing. Often, cards with sacrifice effects have very potent effect, but most decks can't afford to kill a creature. In this deck, it's the opposite. You WANT your creatures to die and trigger all their abilities, often coming right back with some reinforcements.

Our sacrificial lambs include Bloodghast, Endless Cockroaches, Phytotitan, Reassembling Skeleton, Sprouting Thrinax, Squee, Goblin Nabob, Nether Traitor, Summoner's Egg, Wurmcoil Engine, Worldspine Wurm, and Mitotic Slime.

Our Sac engines are, among other things, Ashnod's Altar, Attrition, Doomgape, High Market, Ghoulcaller Gisa, Phyrexian Altar, Prossh, Skyraider of Kher, and Shattergang Brothers

Win conditions include a few Infinite Combos, such as Endless Cockroaches + Phyrexian Altar + Sek'Kuar, Deathkeeper + Endrek Sahr, Master Breeder or Phyrexian Altar + Parallel Lives + Reassembling Skeleton + Sek'Kuar, Deathkeeper. Despite needing Phyrexian Altar for my meaner combos, even without it I can chain combo a lot of sacrifices to eat up the opposing board with Grave Pact while strengthening my own forces.

The single cards that can seal the deal are Din of the Fireherd, which, once Sek'Kuar, Deathkeeper has had a chance to fill the board with tokens, will wipe somone's board out. Also, Insurrection Will allow me to hit everyone with their own creatures and then sac them all before they get a chance to get their creatures back.

I've been working on this deck for a while and I'm more or less happy with it, but I know it could still use some work, so let me know what you think!

Updates Add

So I've been updating the list a little recently; my buddy and I did some work on it.

Some notable changes are addition of new mana options (Explosive Vegetation, Golgari Signet, Sakura-Tribe Elder, plus the removal of Astral Cornucopia and Fire Diamond), new sac options (Bloodsoaked Champion), and some powerful new enchantments (Feed the Pack and Grave Betrayal)

Still a work in progress, so let me know what you think!
