Tried to build the best deck I could for as cheap as possible around the graveyard concept and here's what I came up with.

Standard grave manipulation. Buried alive clears the expensive stuff out the deck and prepares for the many cheap cards that bring things back from the graveyard.

The idea is to get Grave Titan and Butcher of Malakir out as quickly as possible and then sacrifice zombie or eldrazi tokens in order to clear the board. Sun Titan also comes out with the first Buried Alive and he can recycle 3 drops to be sacrificed 2x per turn, abusing card drawing and and Eldrazi tokens, which only trigger when non-token creatures die. Cauldron Haze lets me clear my own board for sac effects and prevents others from clearing my board.The beauty of Myr Servitor is that I can sacrifice, say, 2 of them and soak up 4 Eldrazi tokens in the same turn regardless of anything else happening. How easy it is to get Eldrazi tokens helps make up for running low mana.[Bloodthrone Vampire]] is my main sac outlet and game ender. 5 Eldrazi tokens on the board and all creatures wiped = 11 damage and that's quite conservative.

Thanks for looking! Please let me know what you think. Looking for a second 1 or 2 drop sac outlet with good utility and suggestions for what to swap it with.
