This is my Hogaak deck.

Strategy

The main strategy of this deck is to get Hogaak out while a powerful sac ability is out on the field, such as Ghoulcaller Gisa, Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord, Korozda Guildmage, or Altar of Dementia, and then sacrifice him to make a whole lot of tokens, make everyone lose a bunch of life, and/or mill yourself or others for many cards. You can structure your turn so that Hogaak is out at the start of the turn, he attacks, and then you sacrifice him and re-cast him from your graveyard. With all the tokens you'll hopefully have out on the field, win cons can range from going wide with evasion effects such as Filth provides, milling everyone out with Altar of Dementia, or casting Overwhelming Stampede giving all creatures trample and at least +8/+8.

Some cool things I've encountered while playing so far:

• Sacrificing Eternal Witness and getting her back with a Threshold Stitch Together, thus getting back both cards when their respective abilities trigger.
• Recurring Lord of Extinction with Genesis or another method of recursion in order to make opponents either mill for massive numbers with Altar of Dementia; creating a massive army of tokens with Ghoulcaller Gisa, Korozda Guildmage, or Feed the Pack; or potentially one-shotting opponents with Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord's activated ability.
