This deck aims to trigger Burning Vengeance and Secrets of the Dead by casting some aftermath spells and Gravecrawler, mostly the latter.

A couple zombies in the deck can use Gravecrawler to fuel their abilities and then allow casting it right back again. Cryptbreaker can discard it to make a token, great for having enough zombies for its second ability. Tymaret, the Murder King can sacrifice it for either of his abilities. Prized Amalgam uses it coming out of the grave as fuel for itself coming out. And Diregraf Captain uses its repeated deaths as fuel for its triggered ability.

Nightscape Familiar doesn't interact with Gravecrawler other than also being a zombie, but it does reduce the costs of each of the enchantments. They stack too, so two out means Burning Vengeance and Secrets of the Dead each cost 1 mana, making it easier to get out multiple copies. And dealing 2 damage to multiple targets and drawing multiple cards is what it's all about.

The non-permanent spells all have aftermath, so have modes that can be cast from the yard to trigger those enchantments as well. Claim / Fame is useful if someone kills all your zombies. Cut / Ribbons and Never / Return do work as interaction, with other halves that are useful late-game. Ribbons is a potential finisher, or can be cast for 1 or even 0 just to trigger enchantments. And Return makes a zombie if you don't have one.
