I send my creatures to the graveyard. I play them. I send your creatures to the graveyard. I play them. This deck is based off complete denial. From the 12 counter spells to the Stormtide Leviathan, this deck is made to not let your opponent play magic. In an ideal world, you can get a turn 1 Dark Ritual + Entomb + Reanimate combo to the Stormtide Leviathan, which shuts down most decks and puts the opponenet on a serious 3 turn clock. It also sets up the blue mana needed to cast most of the counters which allows that clock to keep on ticking. From there on it's just denial, denial, denial.
Creature inclusion:

• Balefire Dragon: For a board state that's getting out of hand. 6 to all opponent's creatures is a good thing.
• Sheoldred, Whispering One: More reanimation and a guaranteed sac every turn. People also tend to go after it instead of the real threat, the Leviathan.
• Sphinx of the Steel Wind: Lifelink in case Reanimate has got you low.
• Stormtide Leviathan: Shuts down non-flyers, turns every land into the color of your denial. Unstoppable 3 turn clock. This = win.
