Bug Aggro Deck, Undying creatures and Dreg Mangler apply pressure early, Thragtusk and Varolz, the Scar-Striped give me late game reach.

==Main Deck==

=Creatures=

• Young Wolf is an early game threat/chump block against aggro decks. If I am feeling frisky Rapid Hybridization ramps me into a 2/2 and 3/3.

• Scavenging Ooze kills reanimator, also a good threat

• strangleroot giest is the powerhouse early game threat

• Dreg Mangler keeps the pressure on, hasty creatures are the name of the game

• Zamek Guildmage keeps undying creatures in play

• Desecration Demon is a great scavange target, and acts as psudo-removal to open things up for my lower drops

• Thragtusk I don't feel needs explanation, some people prefer Vorapede here but I find this is a little easier on the mana base.

=Other=

• Abrupt Decay is cheap versatle removal, especially good for an early game Liliana of the Veil or Domri Rade.

• Rapid Hybridization is cheap removal either for my undying creatures or opponents threats

• Spell Rupture lets me stall just long enough to get lethal damge through

• Rancor is broken

• Tragic Slip provides more cheap removal, deals with aristocrats

==Sideboard==

• Dryad Militant comes in to slow down reanimator or mess with control decks at the expense of Young Wolf

• Duskmantle Seer comes in when opponent has a high curve deck at the expense of Thragtusk and a Desecration Demon

• Gaze of Granite great for tokens, I think it might be a nice reset against other aggro decks if I somehow end up on the back foot.

• Golgari Charm comes in if I see sweepers

• Negate comes in if I see Sphinx's Revelation or reanimator

• Pithing Needle deals with planeswalkers, etherling or drownyards

• Ultimate Price gets rid of a lot of the problematic fattys in the format
