The idea behind this deck is to outpace your opponent. You will be able to keep your [pain seer] tapped with your Marauder and bile blight. The Marauder also helps get damage through each time you draw it. The curve is three so pain seer won't be that much of drag.

I'm still on the fence with Corpse hauler. He's nice with a xathrid necromancer on the board, especially if you grab another Corpse hauler.

EDIT: I removed ultimate price and put in three gary's. I dropped down to 23 lands and put in 2 more Tormented Heros.
