The point of this deck is to diminish your opponent's life points with the effect of Jinxed Idol. This deck is very synergic with the effect of sacrifice, which allows us to continually send the idol back to the opponent with ease.

For our returning cards, we have Nether Traitor and Reassembling Skeleton. These two cards are our idol fodder for this deck. We also run Phyrexian Revoker to ban out cards that bother us within the match.

For our golgari-colored deck, we run some iconic budget cards that can help us in dire needs such as Putrefy, Treasured Find and Golgari Charm. For our retrieval cards, we use Disentomb and Noxious Revival.

We use quite a selection of lands to generate our choice of mana, such as Overgrown Tomb, Woodland Cemetery and Llanowar Wastes.

And just in case we are either low on mana or on returning creatures, Awakening Zone comes in handy to populate our board with little fodder eldrazi for either sacrifice for the idol or to generate mana fast. For some cycling to find our Idols, we use 4 copies of Ancient Stirrings which could technically also give us a Phyrexian Revoker in times of need.
