The God of Slaughter, Mogis. He demands sacrifice from his followers and foes alike. Should you find favor in his eyes he will lend you his Ax and Aid in battle.

The idea for this deck is choices, we give our enemies a choice sacrifice a creature of your choice, pay x life or counter this spell, pay mana or life or permanents to avoid damage or other powerful effects. "This might hurt less if you don't fight so hard. But I doubt it." -Liliana Vess

Mogis, God of Slaughter: His main purpose is to provide incremental advantage. Get him out early for maximum effect.

Desecration Demon and Magus of the Abyss provide our powerful sacrifice conditions for our foes that must be met or answered.

Curse of the Cabal, Do or Die , Choice of Damnations can effectively neuter a powerful foe of our choice.

Dash Hopes and Mages' Contest give us some conditional counterspells.

Pain's Reward , Indulgent Tormentor, and Dusk Urchins give us card draw.

Kazuul, Tyrant of the Cliffs, Ophiomancer, Bitterblossom, and Ogre Slumlord Provide strong defenses while also provideing tokens to sack to spell that will target us as well. Bloodline Keeper   is used mainly for the latter reason, but can also build up a massive army if left unchecked.

Havoc Festival, Infinite Hourglass and Armageddon Clock Speed up the game considerably.

Cauldron of Souls + Mikaeus, the Unhallowed Is our broken infinitely living army combo. Although just one or the other does help a lot.

Lethal Vapors can lock down the board for an indefinite period of time, with a decent board state you can just sit back and watch Mogis slowly eat away at your enemy's life total.
