This deck is a variation of the 'Gurmag and Malakir' deck that Apocate put together.

I play tested the original deck at FNM and threw a little more money at it to make it a bit stronger and more consistent while still keeping it under $20 (w/out lands or sideboard hit optimize on TCGPlayer and it should drop down to this price).

The strategy remains largely the same: Sacrifice your creatures to activate Zulaport Cutthroat subsequently feeding the graveyard for Graveblade Marauder, and boosting Malakir Familiar .

The major additions:

Qarsi Sadist - This card is an amazing addition to this deck, combos perfectly with Zulaport Cutthroat.

Brutal Hordechief - Why not deal some extra damage every time you have a chance to attack? Also lets you sacrifice a creature as needed.

Sidisi, Undead Vizier - It's critical for this deck to always have a Zulaport on the field. Sidisi allows you to exploit a creature and tutor for one while also serving as a big body w/ deathtouch. Sidisi comes in clutch in the late game.

Languish - Much needed board wipe that can also be used to trigger Zulaport as a huge finisher.

Mortuary Mire - To bring back your Zulaports as they die.

All in all this is a vicious little deck that is a ton of fun to play if you're trying to get into standard! Enjoy!!
