The strategy of this deck is to loot, discard, and bring things back from the graveyard for free or at a huge discount. Draw cards, dump cards, then get them back or cast them for cheap with Madness.

Your discard engines are:

  • Merfolk Looter, Thought Courier, Trickster Mage, and Nagging Thoughts: These help you loot through your deck and set up the graveyard.

  • Undertaker and Bog Witch: Great for pitching cards and getting stuff back or ramping.

Then you have your Madness cards:

  • Dark Withering is a one-mana kill spell if you discard it right.

  • Kitchen Imp is a flying 2-drop with haste if you Madness it—very aggressive.

  • Call to the Netherworld brings back your black creatures for zero mana if discarded—instant speed recursion.

  • Grave Scrabbler is solid value if you can discard it for its Madness cost.

Card draw is strong here:

  • Mulldrifter is amazing, it feeds the beetle and infiltrator and can be easily brought back.

  • Obsessive Search is a 'free' discard.

And then you’ve got weird value stuff:

  • Mortician Beetle and Gixian Infiltrator get big with all your sacrificing.

  • Aethersnipe and Mournwhelk have Evoke and can be recurred for extra value/disruption.

So yeah: graveyard loops, card draw, and outvaluing the opponent with recursion and Madness. It’s not super fast but you drown the opponent in incremental advantage.
