This deck is built to put on some early game pressure with cards that continue to play a role in the mid game.

Faithless Looting - Draws 2, throws away bloodghast, demigod, shambling remains... cards that don't really care if they're dead.

Anathemancer - Most modern decks run a ton of nonbasics, and with a seven mana unearth, this creature provides a late game (less than likely counterable) reach that this deck may prove to need.

Lightning Bolt + Terminate - Removal :D ..or if I need to activate bloodghast's haste with some burn damage.

Olivia Voldaren - Mid game scary beast

Murderous Redcap - This guy doesn't even need an infinite combo to be good in this deck, for he will almost always provide me with a target for Sarkhan's -2 if I don't have a better one.

Sarkhan the Mad - The Don Juan himself. A single Sarkhan can provide you with 3 dragons and draw you a card for just 5 mana! This guy's -2 is the reason for this deck. Every creature besides Olivia welcomes the thought of being sacrificed for the greater good, for they will all find their way back into the game.

This deck will require a lot of tweaking and playtesting, and I haven't quite figured out what is to go in the sideboard (I'm very new to modern). This is my first deck idea, so please leave me with any advice you feel necessary!
