CANNON FODDER ALL DAY!

The goal of this deck is to set up one of a few possible board situations that creates a really advantageous scenario for me, while keeping my opponent's board free of creatures.
This deck runs a series of synergistic set pieces that make Lyzolda's sacrifice ability.
The first piece is a way to give her deathtouch. Basilisk Collar, Gorgon's Head, Gorgon Flail. Now every time I sacrifice a red creature, I get to kill any of my opponent's creatures.
From here, there are some options:
A) GAIN CONTROL OF ALL CREATURES.
Using either Liliana, Heretical Healer  's ultimate (kind of a long shot) or Scythe of the Wretched (slow and mana-intensive) will enable me to gain all killed creatures.B) GET BACK ALL SACRIFICED CREATURESOne of the best combos is Leyline of the Void + Lifeline . Lifeline gets creatures back from graveyards each turn, an leyline stops my opponent's creatures from going to the graveyard to be recurred. I can also use Lifeline + Sword of Kaldra to achieve the same effect. Sword is maybe a stronger option because it doesn't require deathtouch, also.
C) WIN VIA ATTRITIONPotentially, if these other options fail, I can fall back on Sheoldred, Whispering One, Grave Pact and Butcher of Malakir to clear my opponent's field.
Key Combos:
Leyline of the Void + Lifeline
Lifeline + Flayer of the Hatebound
Lyzolda, the Blood Witch + Sword of Kaldra

Where I need help is in making stronger choices for cards that provide the same functions, and striking the right balance between creatures that generate tokens, creatures to swing with, and other staple cards.
