Deck is built around recurring ETB triggers through graveyard recursion, with a balanced build capable of interacting against a number of opposing builds.

Playing the deck. You most likely will not be thought of as a major threat early on, play politically to maintain parity among opponents, accurate threat assessment is essential. This deck is resilient to many threats and has the gas to extend games. Very vulnerable to anything that shuts down graveyard recursion (e.g., Rest in Piece), destroy it on site!

Tutors: Imperial Recruiter, Recruiter of the Guard, Diabolic Intent, Demonic TutorGC

Card Draw: Enduring Innocence, Fear of Missing Out, Yawgmoth, Thran Physician, Loran of the Third Path, Esper Sentinel, Infernal Tribute, Solemn Simulacrum, Mentor of the Meek, Skullclamp (so good in this deck)

Asymmetric threats and bombs: Master of Cruelties, Gray Merchant of Asphodel, Blood Artist, Orcish Bowmasters

Combos for the win: 1. Anafenza, Kin-Tree Spirit + Murderous Redcap + sac outlet = infinite damage. 2. Felidar Guardian + Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker = infinite tokens with haste. 3. Reveillark + Karmic Guide + sac outlet = infinite graveyard recursion.

Removal (creature): Abyssal Gatekeeper, Legate Lanius, Caesar's Ace, Nekrataal, Ravenous Chupacabra, Darksteel Mutation, Oubliette, Fiend Hunter, Grave Pact

Removal (enchantment): Loran of the Third Path, War Priest of Thune

Removal (artifact): Loran of the Third Path

Removal (instant/sorceries): (I recently removed Sin Collector, but don’t feel good about it. Ugh! I won a game with him by removing a Swords to Plowshares followed by a Skullclamp mediated sacrifice card draw FTW, but I felt I needed to add Altar of Dementia without reducing the overall number of sac outlets. We’ll see.)

Protection: Selfless Spirit, Eerie Interlude, Michiko Konda, Truth Seeker, Sword of Light and Shadow, Maze of Ith, Delney, Streetwise Lookout, Swiftfoot Boots, Legion's Initiative, Grand Abolisher, Baton of Morale (allows continued pressure and acts as a directed way to kill your creatures, may replace with Reconnaissance)

Sac outlets: Altar of Dementia, Yawgmoth, Thran Physician, Claws of Gix, Infernal Tribute, Denethor, Ruling Steward, Diabolic Intent, Abyssal Gatekeeper, Phyrexian Tower. I think I need to add Goblin Bombardment, and Ashnod's Altar)

Trigger amplifiers: Delney, Streetwise Lookout, Strionic Resonator, Eerie Interlude, Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker, Cauldron of Souls, Panharmonicon, Legion's Initiative, Fiend Hunter, Felidar Guardian

Great value in most circumstances: Scab-Clan Berserker (just awesome), Grave Pact (this card is amazing in this deck), Spike Cannibal (all counters, I'll let that sink in), Harsh Mentor (so good)

Graveyard recursion: Karmic Guide, Reveillark, Dewdrop Cure, Sword of Light and Shadow, Feldon of the Third Path, Restoration Specialist, Hall of Heliod's Generosity, Volrath's Stronghold.

Graveyard fillers: Fear of Missing Out, Buried Alive, Raucous Theater, Elegant Parlor

Ramp: Knight of the White Orchid, Sol Ring, Aether Vial, Mox DiamondGC, Solemn Simulacrum, Arcane Signet

Lifegain: Gray Merchant of Asphodel, Blood Artist, Sword of Light and Shadow, The Battle of Bywater, Claws of Gix, Denethor, Ruling Steward

Wrath: Ruinous Ultimatum, The Battle of Bywater, Tragic Arrogance,

Cards in Maybeboard I have in hand or have recently been suggested -if you see one that you feel strongly should be in the 99, please let me know! There are several good cards that I do not own, like Serra Ascendant, which would go in (please make suggestions)!
