The strategy is to remove creatures an opponent controls while playing tokens and zombies, that provide a constant board presence. This deck is designed to be a discard combo deck and wins by playing mid game combos, like:

• Archfiend of Ifnir + Haunted Dead : reanimating Haunted Dead from the grave puts two -1/-1 counters on each creature our opponent controls, if Archfiend of Ifnir is on the battlefield;

• Stitchwing Skaab + Wharf Infiltrator : discard Stitchwing Skaab and create a 3/2 token for , then reanimate Stitchwing Skaab and generate even more tokens;

• Cryptbreaker + Voldaren Pariah : madness Voldaren Pariah   into play, tap the 2/2 zombies to draw a card during our opponents turn and transform Voldaren Pariah   right afterwards;

• Drake Haven + Sinister Concoction : killing a creature and generating a 2/2 Drake token;

In the early game we stay alive by generating tokens with Cryptbreaker or Wharf Infiltrator and playing removal like Sinister Concoction . Our goal is to put our four drop zombies in the graveard. Unlike most madness spells we don't have to cast our zombies right away but rather wait until we get the most value out of our graveyard, i.e. Haunted Dead + Prized Amalgam .

Having a cheap discard outlet in our hand is crucial. We never want to be forced to play Stitchwing Skaab from our hand, but rather have a discard outlet at our disposal in the graveyard. Don't be afraid to cycle Archfiend of Ifnir or discard good cards in the early game, if our opponent puts pressure on us. Once we get to five mana this deck is able to build an army out of nowhere.

Feedback is appreciated.
