“I am the smile of the worm-cleansed skull. I am the regrets of those who remain, and the restlessness of those who are gone. I am the haunt of mausoleums, the god of graves and age, of dust and dusk. I am Myrkul, and you have slain my Chosen. But it is no matter, for I am Death. And I am not the end—I am a beginning.” — Myrkul

This deck has a lot going on. It's almost "oops! All Creatures!", but not quite. It's very similar to aristocrats, but not quite. It's about keeping the board cleared of creature cards - but not quite all creatures

While it follows the basic build for aristocrats - Deploy, Drain life, Sacrifice...Then watch them come back as enchantments. For Death is not an end - Only a beginning.

Several cards create White creature tokens. This has multiple uses. One is, obviously, to protect yourself from combat with chump blocks that will trigger death triggers. Another is they can become resources for a majority of the cards in the deck. They can be sacrificed for card draw/scry, for life drain, for life gain, killed to cause opponents to sacrifice creatures, mana generation, etc etc.

As for the Category "Swiss" - it's a section of cards that add an acceptable amount of cheese to the deck with simple combos that could go infinite for mana, damage prevention, and causing opponents to discard (to mess up people that love drawing multiple cards per turn), or to even steal opponent's creatures to kill off to get them back as enchantments.

This is a synergy deck moreso than a combo deck. Many cards can fit together with other cards on the table, rather than have specific cards that must be played in a certain order.

Death is most certainly not the end.
