Go wide, gain life, spend life, nuke own board and opponents!
Just an oooordinary go-wide deck. But wait! That's ... well, yes, it's just an ordinary go-wide deck.
Elas il-Kor, Sadistic Pilgrim is just your bog standard uncommon legendary, but his abilities are very nicely geared towards a go-wide strategy: if you build up a healthy board state then then play a board wipe you not only clear the field you also delete a rather healthy amount of your opponents' life totals! Now that's what I call advancing the game state! Stacking these effects just makes things even worse. Wound Reflection, anyone? :)
However, his first triggered ability will no doubt leave you with more life than usual given the focus on going as wide as possible, so you'll have plenty of life to pay for things like card draw and funny abilities.
And failing anything else, there's always Ætherflux Reservoir.
In the mean time, you're a go-wide deck! Swing at people! If any of your bodies die then opponents all lose life anyway! It's a lose-lose proposition... for them!
Sadly, you can't pay into negative life because any amount of life below 0 is life you don't have, even if damage can put you there. Alas, alas.
I intentionally included no tutors in this version, but did include land ramp because lands are always more durable until the one red jerk plays Jokulhaups. Also as a go-wide deck without a focus on sacrifice, you do have to watch out for Rakdos Charm, though given each creature ETBing will net you 1 life it may not be as dangerous to you as to others.
