It's all about the set up. First you have to find one of either Pestilent Spirit, Soul-Scar Mage or Everlasting Torment. You'll also need at least one of several equipments that give flying. Then go to town with the many many earthquakes in the deck to make sure your opponents can't stick creatures and to draw through your deck to find your finishers (if beating down with The Scorpion God isn't enough). There's Exsanguinate and a couple of X cost burn spells that hit players, as well as Harvester of Souls for even more drawing, and Necroskitter or Grave Betrayal to steal your opponents' creatures.

P.S. I left out Nest of Scarabs because it nonbos with all the earthquake effects.
