A play on the popular Death's Shadow decks appearing in Modern recently, and an update to an idea I had a few years ago. The deck has multiple ways to play and win conditions, without spreading itself too thin...or at least that's the idea. Using cheap CMC creatures with high power. Straight aggro, infect, Death's Shadow beat down, it's all here. It can be fast, and if you're not careful you can drain your hand quick, but it also comes with answers to problems that might arise coming from the other side of the battlefield, such as Lightning Bolts (of course), direct hate, and spells like Thoughtseize. Also, don't play the Spark Elemental early, bide time, and play them later when you can get Varolz out and have enough mana to use play a Spark and beef em up, trampling over your opponent.
