One of three versions of a deck I'm building. What started out as a Life from the Loam deck no longer even runs green. Gifts Ungiven and Unburial Rites win games pretty reliably, and it turns out Lightning Bolt is a good card. The green versions of the deck have problems living long enough to do things against aggro, unless they cut most of their win conditions which causes problems against everything else. Bolt helps the deck stay alive, and Gifts wins games without the need for the grindy accretion of advantage of Loam.

There's enough disruption here to stop aggro and combo, at least based on limited testing, and Gifts just beats other midrange decks if it resolves. I have concerns about sideboarded games with graveyard hate coming in, though.
