The basic premise behind this deck is to hit your opponent's hand early with spells like Duress and Mind Rot, and use that info to determine what you will be hitting with Grasp of Darkness and Murderous Cut. Turn-4 Languish curves great into a turn-5 Remorseless Punishment, which might just be a 10-to-the-face if they only have one card or no cards in hand. Erebos's Titan is your beat-stick (which nicely survives your own Languish). Kalitas, Traitor of Ghet is your source of life-gain if you start taking a few hits from Read the Bones or Ob Nixilis Reignited to gain cards again, and also puts a halt to any graveyard shenanigans that the Rally the Ancestors and G/W Megamorph decks like.

Necromantic Summons is a good choice for stealing one of your opponents best dead/discarded threats, and will almost always have spell mastery for those extra counters (or grab back your own Titan or Kalitas), and if you pull an opponent's creature, it also activates the second ability of a dead Titan, giving you a replacement for a possibly dead-in-hand Duress late game against a top-decking opponent. Dark Petition will also always have spell mastery active, meaning you can find a one-mana board wipe for an in-hand Remorseless Punishment or an answer to a threat that somehow gets by your early hand disruption.

This deck is fun to play, and probably annoying to play against, but hey, win however you can, right? It's also neat to see old un(der)used cards ( Erebos's Titan , Dark Petition, Languish) find new homes in a shell that actually works.
