Deck Challenge: Kresh the Bloodbraided

OK, this is more a selfish request than an actual challenge. I have 4x Kresh the Bloodbraided and I'd like to see someone abuse this card :p

My main idea, if I where actually to put some effort into making a deck around Karesh, would be to use Time of Need or Worldly Tutor to search for him and fill the rest of the deck with token creature production and things to sacrifice them to.

Bonus points to anyone who uses Sek'Kuar, Deathkeeper too :p

Rules:

1] Have fun
2] Must use at least 2 Kresh the Bloodbraided in the deck.

Have you ever looked at the Counterpunch Commander deck? I think you could use some of the combos in there to do a lot of damage with Kresh. Especially with Vish Kal, the new Vampire guy or with the classic Bloodthrone Vampire. A good sac is Symbiotic Wurm or Mitotic Slime and Teneb, the Harvester is fun to bring those back. Just my thoughts :)

A buddy runs a B/G deck that combos Doomgape and Gleancrawler. Comboing that with Kresh could get ridiculous.

(fixed the link) Let me know what you think.

I'd just like to say thanks to everyone who posted here. I think I know what direction I want to take my deck now, 'though it'll take me a while to get all the cards to put it together (I only have 1 Worldly Tutor at the moment) :p

Also, should I use Repopulate or Footbottom Feast ? I'm leaning towards Repopulate.

I'd think the feast is better- you should be using it once you have the mana to just play whatever you are about to topdeck again anyway, and that way you know what you are gonna get and can plan accordingly.

I kind of like the feast better, simply for the controlled card draw--basically a disentomb on top of topdecking as many creatures as you want. However, the cycling for repopulate is nice, too.

Personally I would use Repopulate. Maybe you could consider a lifegain engine with Dawn of the Dead. Such as Essence Warden. It's only a single creature every turn, but that can become a ton. Especially with Sek'Kuar also in play. Just an idea.
Edit: don't forget the Sac cards to use it... I'd say something like Viscera Seer
