This is a lower budget monoB deck I'm trying to put together. I'm looking for a "fair" deck at a casual power level. The theme of this deck is the story of Crovax the Cursed who is an old legend I have from my childhood magic collection. Poor Crovax, death follows him wherever he goes.

We've got a zombie themed aristocrats deck to synergize with Crovax the Cursed's upkeep requirement. We'll pump him up and fly him to victory, killing our opponents with commander damage. Really want to make sure we have a creature to sacrafice each upkeep to keep Crovax growing, instead of shrinking. Ideally we'll have some creatures or enchantments in play that would then have triggers from the death for value. There are a lot of ways to return creatures from the graveyard to resacrifice, and many leave behind a token as they die so the cards are really 2 creature sacs for 1 card which is value town.

Many of the cards include Crovax in the art or flavor text. I've tried to use cards from the era when possible and I want to play "old-timey" magic. I'm not playing any planeswalkers, and the only answer I have for them besides creature damage is Meteor Golem which also serves as my only enchantment or artifact removal. Yawgmoth's Vile Offering would be a flavorful option to help against planeswalkers if that's an issue.
