Substitute for Breeding Pit?

Deck Help forum

I'm looking for substitutes for Breeding Pit for my Gates of Hell deck(black and red). Lord of the Pit and the other demons need sacrifices, but the upkeep cost is a pain when my big creatures cost at least 5 mana. That, and its really only useful in that deck if you can play it early on to build up the tokens until the big creatures come out to play.

Any suggestions? Would prefer a spell, but I'll also accept creature suggestions

the most obvious one I can think of is Bitterblossom. It's cheap (in mana) so it comes out early enough to make a difference.

your other possible options, depending on the deck, are Drudge Spell, Goblin Assault, Endless Ranks of the Dead, or Infernal Genesis.

As far as creatures go, Grave Titan is good for generating bodies on etb and every attack, Bloodline Keeper  ^Flip can generate a body a turn, if you get into the late game Dragonmaster Outcast could do the trick, Ghoulcaller Gisa could work as a trick if your opponent is about to destroy one of your creatures, and Goblin Rabblemaster pumps out a token a turn, though it's forced to attack.
