This deck focuses on sort of controlling the board and making your creatures bigger at the same time by sacrificing your creatures.

Creatures:

• Merciless Executioner - Both forces your opponent to sac,
• Fleshbag Marauder - and yourself as well.
• Mortician Beetle - Benefits from the previous two. Gets two +1/+1 counters every time.
• Bontu the Glorified - Can pretty much attack each turn thanks to your suicidal creatures.
• Rotting Rats - Can be used for sacrificing, especially by Bontu.
• Nether Traitor - Very useful for sacrificing since it can be revived a lot. Good attacker as well.
• Desecration Demon - Very cheap high damage flyer that also forces your opponent to sac each turn.

Spells:

• Quest for the Gravelord - Free 5/5 for just 1 cmc.
• Stir the Grave - Can be used to revive any of your creatures, without paying too much for the small ones.
• Claim / Fame - 1 cmc spell that can revive your rats and beetles.
• Go for the Throat - Useful for removing a specific creature.
• Damnation - Useful in some situations.
