---

A {G}{B} aggro deck built around big threats that come cheap in exchange for eating some expendable little twerp. Many of your cards cost only a single mana, but you won't necessarily be tapping out turn after turn. You make your move in fell swoops, throwing in a timely Bone Picker, Hunger of the Howlpack or Tragic Slip to take advantage of a sacrifice.

The deck was inspired by the intriguing prospect of Kjeldoran Dead. For example, a turn one Slitherhead opens the door for a 4/2 on the second turn, with either mana open to regenerate or a Rancor to make him a 6/2 trampler. You can also use Slitherhead's scavenge or Hunger of the Howlpack to put counters on an evasive threat, like Bone Picker or the token from Infestation Sage.

We're sporting a varied suite of removal for different types of threats, but make special note of Final Vengeance. Having another way to pitch some little dork for extra value is nice, but it has virtually no downside if you feed it a Rancor instead. Two mana to exile a creature isn't something you normally see in the world of all-commons!
