The goal of this deck is to out value your opponents using creatures that give you some type of bonus when they or another creature dies. Then you bring them back and do it again.

Creature Stats and Strats

Value Creatures

Doomed Traveler: More often than not our turn one play. You'll almost always use him to chump block at first, but his vengeful ghost can dish out some evasive damage, or block out aerial attacks.

Blisterpod: BFZ's gift to us replacing the rather dull Tukatongue Thallid . Seemingly useless at first the pod is actually decent for mana ramp if you find the need to use it. Can also block an Etched Champion if you feel the need to do so.

Voice of Resurgence: The ultimate value creature. Voice causes problems for any and all decks that like to counter your spells or gain advantage on your turn. Not to mention upon death it blesses you with a token that's usually really large in our deck.

Blood Artist: Your main way of winning the game, rack up enough triggers to outlast your opponent, great in pairs.

Zulaport Cutthroat: Functional reprint of artist. Bad News: only triggers upon your creatures deaths. Good News: doesn't get stopped by Leyline of Sanctity

Sac Outlets

Viscera Seer: Sac King, use the scry triggers to dig for much needed answers and fuel for your deck.

Cartel Aristocrat: A nice 2 mana 2/2 that's a decent sac outlet. Use it to get the most out of your blocks or get in much needed damage.

Bloodthrone Vampire: Another nice sac outlet that can make combat tricky for your opponent. If given an opening with Blood Artist on the field the game can be closed very quickly.

Support Creatures

Satyr Wayfinder: Little dude with a big role, he feeds your graveyard full of creatures to return later in the game. He can also find much needed land if you're in a tight spot.

Tidehollow Sculler: Thoughtseize on a stick, if you know your way around the stack you can get the card exiled permanently. (first trigger on the stack, sac it, second trigger resolves before the first, keep opponents card forever)

Eternal Witness: Doesn't hurt to have a 4th/5th copy of your recursion spells.

Recursion Spells

Return to the Ranks : Hands down the most important card in the deck, and for good reason. Gets back almost all your creatures out of the yard and onto the field. Always try to go for a big sac of your creatures that leave tokens behind and bring them back next turn for even more value. Bonus points if you bring back a Satyr Wayfinder to set up for the next ranks. If you don't have remember you can convoke and get your needed colors.

Rally the Ancestors : Has the potential to be the most powerful spell in our deck depending on how many creatures you can bring back. NEVER use this card without a sac outlet around.

Sideboard

Abrupt Decay: Just an all round great removal spell for us, slows down most creature based decks and can remove an Ensnaring Bridge or even a Liliana of the Veil

Burrenton Forge-Tender: Can stall a mono red match-up but more importantly protects us from Anger of the Gods and Pyroclasm. Unfortunately doesn't stop Kozilek's Return .

Darkblast: Can almost be considered for main board just because of dredge. Great against UR Delver.

Dismember: Cute one-of against anything with big creatures.

Path to Exile: If you're playing white, you're playing Path somewhere.

Qasali Pridemage: Great artifact/enchantment hate that can be used multiple times in our deck. Exalted is a nice touch.

Stain the Mind : Perfect disruption for our kind of deck, absolutely ravages combo based strategies. Can be used as early as turn 3.

Zealous Persecution: Great way to hose token based decks, all the while maxing out damage for yours.
