This is a deck idea I had a couple of weeks ago and kind of forgot about. It has some potential, but right now it seems to slow.

Basically, you gain control of your opponent's creatures and sacrifice them to Butcher of the Horde, most likely for lifelink.

Other cards of note: Liliana Vess helps get rid of threats as well as, if you can get her ult, garners you an army. Kheru Bloodsucker and Blood Host: Serve the same purpose as Butcher of the Horde in case you haven't drawn him.

Right now, it's not working fast enough, so I'm thinking of adding in Whip of Erebos for guaranteed lifelink to give Butcher vigilance or haste, depending upon the situation. I think Nighthowler could also be interesting in here because the deck's aim is to put things in the graveyard.
