Prototype deck I'm working on based on flicker and sacrifice mechanics. For the most part, I'm using cards I own or that I thought are good and relatively cheap. I'm on a budget so I'm not looking to make a huge investment on this. The maybe-board consists of cards that would work with the deck but are too expensive for my taste.

Based on the concept of sacrificing creatures to get the most out of them. Block, sacrifice the blocker, avoid damage AND trigger an effect. Start with a Mortician Beetle and start sacrificing creatures to Bloodflow Connoisseur to pump both of them or to Cartel Aristocrat for some free swings. Always have material to sacrifice from Doomed Traveler and Lingering Souls. Creature removal in the form of Doom Blade and Dreadbore. Once Ashen Rider is out, start flickering it using Cloudshift or use a Gift of Immortality on it and start sacrificing it to exile two permanents each turn. Same combo works with Zealous Conscripts, just sacrifice the creature at the end of your turn. Tragic Slip is easy to trigger with all the sacrifices and your graveyard is likely to be full of cards so pulling off threshold for Stitch Together should be easy.

Feel free to make any suggestions, however, please remember I',m on a budget. Effective cards to put cards into my graveyard from my hand or library would be useful as well so heavier mana cost creatures can be played using Apprentice Necromancer or Stitch Together.
