Get as fast as possible as many creatures as possible into your graveyard and beat the opponent down with laughably big, flying creatures.

Without graveyard-hate the deck is hard to beat by creature-strategies. The sideboard is mostly anti-graveyard-hate.

While playtesting I found that 12 big creatures ( Ghoultree , Boneyard Wurm and Splinterfright ) are generally enough and the 4 Nemesis of Mortals that were initially in the deck were often useless.

17 enablers ( Satyr Wayfinder , Merfolk Looter , Tracker's Instincts , Hapless Researcher and Wood Sage (by far the strongest)) were enough. This could be reconsidered when more useful options are found.

This leaves a lot of flexslots. Because you should win against decks aiming to play a long creature-based game by account of having the bigger dick, most interaction is geared towards clearing the way through annoying artifacts/enchantments ( Caustic Caterpillar ) or token chumpblockers ( Profaner of the Dead ). Wood Sage yields a high chance to drawing those. One of the Gnaw to the Bone should be seen every game and has the potential to be awesome against aggressive decks or burn-based control decks.

The single Genesis should be really strong against removal-heavy matchups because it is able to draw a potentially game-ending creature every turn. But I haven't tested it yet.
