This is my upgrade on the Graveborn deck. It plays much the same, but the goal is more consistency. Going for Jin-Gitaxias, Core Augur first puts the game on a pretty hard lockdown from the start. Then Sheoldred, Whispering One enables your deck to go mana-less. From there Gisela, Blade of Goldnight smashes face. The other creatures just assist in those three major goals. The god hand is a Swamp + Dark Ritual + Entomb + Reanimate. Use that to play Jin-Gitaxias, Core Augur on turn one. With that start, you should be able to get Sheoldred, Whispering One and start burning through your library, discarding all your creatures, and playing them for free. The two biggest issues are Grafdigger's Cage and the fact that you can't get your answers out at instant speed. If you are worried about Grafdigger's Cage the best you can do is play Phyrexian Obliterator first and pray it doesn't get removed, or perhaps catch it with Last Rites.
