The idea is simple: sacrifice stuff.

When it works, it's so beautiful it's scary. The problem is living till it does.

Which is about 4-5 round usually. Although I like do enjoy more drawn out games. This is a fun deck, but I suppose can be made competitive with some tweaking.

This deck is revolves around wiping the board with Grave Pact or Dictate of Erebos basically at will.

Reassembling Skeleton - Unlike Gravecrawler you can reanimate him at instant speed. Invaluable in any sac combo.

Pawn of Ulamog - Spits out tokens like mad since I sacrifice things left and right.. and the eldrazi tokens he makes can be used to trigger Grave Pact whenever I feel like it, or to suddenly grow the beetle below.

Mortician Beetle - Sacrifice is the main mechanic here, so this little fella grows very fast.

Geth's Verdict - Hexproof? You are not welcome here.

Tragic Slip - Best black removal, huh? In essence, morbid triggers here every turn. And can take down indestructible.

Vampire Aristocrat - It is not uncommon to swing as a 2/2 then sac everything and hit for 14 and finish the game. And if you add..

Blood Artist - then.. well.. two of those are sometimes enough to take 20 life.

Vampiric Link - ahh.. yes. Can be used on your creatures, or as a black Pacifism. Do remember though - this is not lifelink and the lifegain effect uses the stack, so you can die before you gain back the life!

Bubbling Cauldron +Festering Newt - I'll take that 4 life of yours thank you.

Liliana Vess & Sidisi, Undead Vizier - Are useful of course, but are really here just so I wont be bored. Depending on the game, they might be swapped for more removal or protection.

This is how the old deck that Used to be tragic looks like
