Essentially a "good stuff" deck. It takes advantage of very efficient ETB ability creatures, like Thragtusk and Mulldrifter. And it uses things like Conjurer's Closet and Deadeye Navigator to repeatedly blink them. Actually, Stonehorn Dignitary has become an unassuming all-star when you can constantly blink it, to essentially shut an aggro deck out of the game. As mentioned in the title, it is kind of a suicide deck with cards like Phyrexian Arena, four fetch lands and seven shock lands, so it needs to be balanced out a bit with things like Wall of Reverence.

Also features a graveyard/reanimator theme with Unburial Rites and Karmic Guide and even Life from the Loam although I would love it more if I had more fetch lands than I currently own.

Anyways, it likes to win by either getting Magister Sphinx and then figuring out how to get in for 10, or it uses Tooth and Nail to tutor up Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker and Pestermite or Restoration Angel and winning on the spot, which it often does if the game goes long enough. In fact, sometimes I hold Tooth and Nail until I'm really craving a cigarette and just want the game to be over, so I ask my friends "any counterspells?" and they know exactly what that means...

The only card I've ever had trouble dealing with was Blood Moon, mostly because I don't run any basic lands. So that's pretty much Game Over... but that's basically the only thing that I haven't been able to come back from. This deck is surprisingly resilient.
