This is a deck I've been playing the most lately. It has evolved somewhat, but it's mostly the same.

I have been experimenting with different splash colors for this deck, trying to maximize the numbers of lines of attack that I can utilize.

Jarad's Orders changed the scope of the deck a little bit, making it a midrange/combo deck that can operate with or without Nykthos. I began focusing on the interactions between Liliana of the Veil and creatures that A.) build my devotion and B.) Come back from the graveyard. This gave me Bloodghast and Demigod of Revenge.

Between Demigod of Revenge and Gray Merchant of Asphodel, the deck has taken on a more combo feel. Many times, I've been down and out, low on life, and dead next turn, and suddenly I win out of nowhere.

Updates Add

I am contemplating putting the Varolz/Death's shadow combo in the deck as another wincon. I think I would need to also add Birthing Pod and either Arbor Elf or Birds of Paradise to set up multiple combo lines.

Grim Backwoods seems cool as a utility land, and it works well with Geralf's Messenger and Bloodghast.

Lots of options here; I just need to find an optimized way to do it all.
