Update 7/19: Got some interesting changes put in. Liliana, Death's Majesty has been a FANTASTIC addition to this deck. Considering 2 of, but Liliana Last Hope has just done some insane work. Always happy to draw either. Have ever more HOU cards in here right now. Lethal Sting added to side board to neuter Heart of Kirans and some sphinx based decks I keep running across.

Update: Ammit Eternal makes this deck hilarious. Get Hapatra out turn 2 and ammit out turn 3 at all costs and watch the opponent cry. Late game it's almost better when they are low on cards. I also dropped nest of scarabs down to 3 of, simply because drawing 2 nest of scarabs early game is crippling....

Update 2: I had a revelation at my HOU prerelease about the card Hapatra's Mark. It's an excellent combat trick to remove counters while they declare blockers and an awesome Hapatra saver. This revelation also came with the removal of one drop creatures. I love Blisterpod and Festering Mummy but in reality after turn one they are the ultimate dead drop. This new deck pops off at turn three and can keep some heavy threats on the board. Everything you draw is spicy and can do stuff or synergize.

The main idea really is to get Hapatra and Ammit Eternal down on turn 2 and 3 respectively and get as many obelisk spiders down as possible. Chumping with deathtouch snakes, making a demon Westvale Abbey  , and playing nice removal at the right time

Any suggestions are helpful! Thanks.
