This endless cycle need to have Liliana, Heretical Healer   and her necromancer friend Xathrid Necromancer. This is a pretty aggro deck having a aristocratic style to it due to Zulaport Cutthroat. Our plan is to play humans so they can turn into zombies by our Xathrid Necromancer and also making our opponent lose life while having Zulaport Cutthroat on the field, and the zombies can also ping the opponent when they die.

One Drops: So for the one drop slots we're running Bloodsoaked Champion having the ability to come back after we have attacked with other humans. Boros Elite which gets a buff when you attack with more creatures and we have Champion of the Parish which grows because every creature card in your deck is a human making he a super human.

Two Drops: Zulaport Cutthroat makes your opponent take a hit for every creature they kill and he's a human so he can turn into a zombie if he dies. You also have Hanweir Militia Captain   which isn't so good until you can turn him around into Westvale Cult Leader   which is a strong card because you will have a nice army of humans/zombies and it also makes small 1/1 human clerics which when they die become 2/2 zombies and make your opponent take a damage due to Zulaport Cutthroat. There is also Gather the Townsfolk which creates two humans for 2 mana but if your under five you can have five humans on the field.

Three Drops: This is where the fun is. Your prize possession is probably Xathrid Necromancer. He will make all your creatures useful again after they die. Liliana, Heretical Healer   Ult makes the dead tireless and brings them back and if you have Xathrid Necromancer they'll bring 2/2 zombies with them. Now i didn't put any black card draw because we will have things dying on the field so i thought that Grim Haruspex would have some value in this deck and you might have crazy card draw with it.

The restis basic black removal and Zealous Persecution is a little buff for all the creatures and it give -1/-1 to opponent's creature having some good value.
