Lots of Graveyard loving going on in here.

Breakdown:

-Cycling

• Cycling Creatures allows me to throw creatures into my graveyard, and then draw more cards. Essentially, this pumps my X/X creatures and gives me the benefit of an extra draw. (Barkhide Mauler, Bloated Toad, Darkwatch Elves, Disciple of Malice, Gempalm Polluter, Gempalm Strider, Hundroog, Jungle Weaver, Krosan Tusker, Scion of Darkness, Street Wraith, Undead Gladiator, Viscera Dragger, Wild Dogs.)

-The Bombs

• Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord, who gets pumped for each creature in my graveyard, allows me to fling my other creatures who get pumped for my graveyard (Boneyard Wurm, Mortivore, Splinterfright,) for tons of damage to the face. Doomgape allows for a similar effect, but instead puts me at an advantage by gaining me a lot of life if I sacrificed one of these bombs.

-Tutors

• These cards allow for me to get the pieces I need to overwhelm my opponent. (Jarad's Orders, Demonic Tutor, Diabolic Tutor, Birthing Pod, Vampiric Tutor)

-Deck Digging

• Grabbing cards from my deck and throwing them into my graveyard to generate interactions between cards. (Treasured Find, Jarad's Orders, Entomb, Buried Alive)

-Reanimation

• If one of my bombs gets thrown into the grave, I'm going to need a way to get them back. (Reanimate, Animate Dead, Beacon of Unrest, Sheoldred, Whispering One, Vigor Mortis, Unburial Rites.)

-Mana acceleration

• While it's not terribly Important, ramp always helps. (Skyshroud Claim, Nature's Lore, Birds of Paradise, Elvish Mystic, Llanowar Elves, Azusa, Lost but Seeking, Oracle of Mul Daya, Llanowar Dead, Vorinclex, Voice of Hunger, Sol Ring)

Well, I hope you like this deck. As always, +1 and comment, leave suggestions and try to help make the deck better in any way. Thanks!
