I designed this deck at 2:00 in the morning, thanks to some poorly timed caffeine and the resulting lack of sleep. But what better time to make a weird, semi-functional deck? All the best ideas happen in the middle of the night, right? Long lists of keywords are fun, and there's no wrong time to attack with a 4/4 hasty, hexproof, indestructible, vigilant, flying, double striking, deathtouchy, lifelinky trampler. But turn 3 is a better turn than most, and that's what this deck can do.*

The basic strategy is simple--get a pile of keywords into your graveyard with Funeral Charm, Collective Brutality, and Unmarked Grave, then load them all onto Soulflayer or Urborg Scavengers. Each keyword has at least four creatures with it, and at least two of those creatures are nonlegendary for Unmarked Grave. If your Flayers or Scavengers get killed off, Ketramose, the New Dawn can step in and finish the end game.

I'm eyeballing the discard spells and have no idea what to with the sideboard, so suggestions are especially welcome for this deck.

* T1 Discard Zetalpa, Primal Dawn to Funeral Charm, T2 discard Vampire of the Dire Moon and Cragplate Baloth to Collective Brutality, T3 Soulflayer delves out the creatures.
