Fun deck that focuses on bleeding your opponents for creature production. You hand them a bunch of 1/1s via Forbidden Orchard and make them pay for it with Blood Seeker , Trespasser's Curse , and Suture Priest , oh yah and beast Massacre Wurm . You can prevent all out assault with Ghostly Prison and stay alive with the ton of lifegain you get from ETB effects without the former.

Phyrexian Arena , Expedition Map , and Demonic Consultation are the card draw. Consultation because its way cheaper than Tutor - and really almost a better card for I need this and Ill win situations.

The interactions have been brilliant in playtesting - for example tapping land to give your opponents creatures - they lose life via curse, etc... then you cast wurm, killing their newly created creatures and making them lose even more life. Mercy Killing is fantastic. Also Living Death is great because my 1/1s often die way before my opponents creatures - so casting this midgame nearly always flips things to my favor, and clears out the tokens. I wish I could fit another one in there but am not sure what can go.

Also has ally friendliness with Vesuva to help out an ally's cloudpost in a pinch, Engineered Plague to help against aggro, and all the lifegain for 2 headed. Also takes a lot of focus, on stupid cards that people dont want to have to focus on, which helps my allies build.

Cool deck - maybe not explosive like some of the new expensive things out there but I think can get the job done in multi.
