Control & Sacrifice
Aim
This deck centres around gaining control of an opponents creature, attacking them with it, followed by sacrificing it in a way which best suits me at the time. This simultaneously removes their defence and bolster my attack. Then repeat the process until they have no creatures left.
There are a multitude of sacrifice options available at next to no mana cost from scry'ing, card draw, opponent library control and instant removal.
The lethal damage actually comes from my opponents creatures, once I've gained control of one, hopefully giving it trample, I have effectively removed some of their defence, I then have a creature to attack with that I don't mind dying, and if it does survive I can then sacrifice it anyway so they don't get it back.
Key Combos
Act of Treason + Bone Splinters
Double trouble for opponents having one of their creatures sacrificed and another destroyed.
Altar's Reap + Traitorous Blood
Opponent creature control and card draw for me.
Main Board
Act of Treason
The staple gain control of an opponents creature spell.
Bone Splinters
Double trouble for opponents creatures as it serves as a sacrifice option for whatever I've gained control of and removal of another one of their creatures.
Molten Birth
If I can't gain control of my opponents creatures then this provides me with something else to sacrifice if required. Otherwise it provides chump blockers due to the low toughness of my own creatures.
Portent of Betrayal
Getting the right card at the right time is very important in this deck so having having a gain control spell with scry if very useful.
Traitorous Blood
This has the added bonus that if a opponent blocks their own creature, if its large enough it will trample over any blocker(s) and still deal them damage to them.
Altar's Reap
Some essential card draw in the deck ensuring the gain control spells keep coming and again another sacrifice option for whatever I've gained control of.
Desecration Demon
A 6/6 flyer for only 4 mana that lures opponents into sacrificing creatures to prevent it attacking. This soon results in an opponent with no creatures left to sacrifice and a 6+/6+ flyer to contend with. It is also useful for devotion to Mogis.
Mogis, God of Slaughter
A nice 10 turn clock to have running for opponents and results in some hard decisions for them in the late game when they are on low life.
Ogre Marauder
Unblockable damage unless my opponent is willing to see another one of their creatures bite the dust to even be able to block this creature. It's also very helpful towards dentin to Mogis.
Thoughtpicker Witch
Allows me to control my opponents next draw and remove threats before they are even played.
Viscera Seer
Allows me to scry to cards I need.
Sideboard
Glaring Spotlight
Very useful if I come up against decks with hexproof creatures.
Hunted Horror
Useful for when coming up against decks with a low creature count.
Mob Rule
Beware spammers, I'm taking all your creatures in one go.
Rite of Consumption
If an opponent has really got some big and nasty creatures.
Disclaimer
All my deck centre around trying to do one or two things well based around a certain theme, they are not intended to be able to defend and cope with everything and anything that comes their way. (Good Card Suggestions vs Deck Dilution)
I am a 'kitchen table' player with a limited budget. As with all my decks advice and suggestions (as well as +1's) are always very welcome but keep in mind anything above the $5 per card mark I'm unlikely to consider.
The more reasoning you can give with any suggestion you make, the more likely I am to consider running it in the deck. This is because I can't always spot the combo or idea you are going for. Letting me know what your thinking gives me a better insight into how you think this deck might be made better by the suggestion.
