Using Judith, Carnage Connoisseur as a board wipe in the command zone in order to buff my death trigger creatures Slaughter Specialist, Yahenni, Undying Partisan, Malakir Cullblade, Scavenger Drake and clear a path for combat damage as the main source of damage.

Add other Vincent from ff

Second plan is to win with either Grave Betrayal, Rise of the Dread Marn, or Rise of the Dark Realms to Field an overwhelming horde of stolen creatures to take out opponents.

As politicking is very unlikely in this deck I have also included some distractions in the form of Bounty Board, and Curse of Opulence in order to add incentives to attack other people of my choice. I am considering adding in one of the Court enchantments with the sole intention of getting monarch into the game and letting decks with poor card draw or greedy piolets to duke it out and take pressure off of me.

To that end I also switched out Toralf, God of Fury  and Repercussion as that was likely to see me die from big stompy decks or Blasphemous Acts or similar damage dealing board wipes. In favor of Circle of Flame, and Hissing Miasma to discourage token decks from going wide around my blockers as well as Carnage Gladiator to stop multiblocking from killing any of my creatures or at least make it much more painful. As well as encouraging other players to play more aggressively to whittle down HP as well as fuel my death triggers.

The goal of the deck is to be less reliant on Judith as a constant sweeper keeping other peoples boards clear, and instead using her clear the field at the most beneficial time, and if she isn't dead to pump out imps to be sacrificed in glorious melee combat or get murdered for cheap card draw preferably both.

I've added some pretty juicy targets among the legendary creatures like Rakdos, Patron of Chaos, Avatar of Woe both for their decent effects but also to pull removal away from Judith or other tempo pieces like Mahadi, Emporium Master, Bonehoard Dracosaur, Blood Artist, or my Kickers.
