Semi-5 color demon and big scary monsters themed deck.This is primarily a janky grave recursion deck featuring Heartless Summoning and Havengul Lich, with the bonus of not being color limited, so I can throw in all the best cards from any color! Chromatic Lantern opens up my opponent's graveyard to my Havengul Lich, while the numerous spot removal and bit of mill gives him and the Deathrite Shamans targets.
This deck was originally built around abusing Deathrite Shaman and Desecration Demon, and though much has evolved, the best interactions remain with them.

Ideal first turns: (full thing happened once, crypt ghast/desecration demon turn 3 has happened 3 times now)
Turn 1: swamp, Deathrite Shaman
Turn 2: Drowned Catacomb or swamp, Heartless Summoning
Turn 3: swamp, Crypt Ghast, Desecration Demon
Trun 4: swamp, Griselbrand
This deck is not what you'd consider "consistent", it never plays exactly the same as the last time it played, however this has proven to be a great strength. It's an extremely flexible deck and is difficult to sideboard around with all the different threats. The most important cards to get early game I feel I have enough of to guarantee drawing at least a couple by turn 3.
This deck has most recently gone 3-2-0 at FNM, but is currently shelved as I work on Black - Super Ramp and All the Best Tokens Aren't Tokens
