I lied. This is my last pre-rotation deck. I'll be playing it this Friday as sort of a send off to Innistrad.

So, this deck's main focus is around adding +1/+1 counters to everything. Corpsejack Menace doubles those counters, and I believe Increasing Savagery is the most mana efficient way to place a ton of them. Plus a turn 3 Vampire Nighthawk into turn 4 Increasing Savagery is pretty scary.

It's pretty funny to have someone tap down your Desecration Demon only to play a Burst of Strength and still swing/block with it.

Dreg Mangler is a nice, fast creature that fits in with the counters theme. Kalonian Hydra isn't so fast, but in this deck, he's less of an induvidual win-con and more of a +1/+1 counters version of Hellrider .

Essence Harvest is a great way to still get your damage in if you can't swing for whatever reason. I only wish it was at instant speed so you could use it in response to removal and such. Vraska the Unseen and Putrefy are some of my favorite removal in standard, and vraska can double as a win condition if Rogue's Passage is out.

Also, I have 61 cards in this deck. That's because with 22 lands at 60 cards, I felt like I had too few land. With 23, I had too much. So If I add a land to that 60 card deck, it makes the probability of drawing one fall somewhere in the middle of those first two options.

I'm still working on the sideboard, which is incomplete, and I'm open to any and all suggestions.
