Assault Formation deck with Languish to remove opponents creatures while yours survive.

Profaner of the Dead clears their board for a final assault.

Kin-Tree Invocation is probably my favorite; what's not to love about a two drop 6/6 in most cases. Assault Formation allows you to buff your creatures before you play Kin-Tree Invocation so it can hit the field pretty heavy after you attack with your defenders.

Anticipate and Sidisi, Undead Vizier, Read the Bones, Taigam's Scheming, and Jayemdae Tome are all there to help you get your Assault Formation, Sultai Charm, and Languish as needed plus Sidisi survives Languish.

Sultai Charm became a pretty crucial part of the deck for its artifact, enchantment, and monocolored creature removal. I hardly ever used it to draw.

Shape the Sands lets you +5 a creatures toughness to make your Kin-Tree Invocation ridiculous or to get a hard hit in with an attacking defender thanks to Assault Formation.
