This is a work in progress so a more detailed description is to come.

This is a typical Zo-zu deck that utilizes incremental damage and LD to punish opponents and limit their ability to do much about it.

The overall theme is damned if you do, damned if you don't. Tap a land, play a creature, your creature dies, play a land, land blows up, cast anything, don't attack, don't cast a spell: all have consequences. Obviously 2 damage in EDH isn't anything special, but when it happens multiple times a turn and add in things like Furnace of Rath suddenly the 2 measly damage adds up.

Because red decks such as this one have problems with life gain, I have included several anti-life gain cards: Leyline of Punishment, Sulfuric Vortex, Witch Hunt.

Notable exclusions due to budget constraints: Blood Moon, Magus of the Moon.

Some interactions:

Blasphemous Act + Repercussion or any of the other burn spells: can be gg. If Furnace of Rath is in play...

Stuffy Doll and Mogg Maniac: same as above.

Burning Sands + Rite of the Raging Storm : everyone loses a land and they can only attack each other.

Dingus Egg + LD: massive damage

Many of the creatures included are rattlesnakes: either they blow up lands, blow lands up upon death, or cause equal hurting to opponents.
