Deck Description

This is a deck I have wanted to build for a while. I want to break Bitter Ordeal, so the point of this deck is to make a huge amount of tokens, sac them and cast Bitter Ordeal for one black with Blood Funnel. The creature recursion makes it easier to get the most out of your blood funnel. The Pawn of Ulamog has the ability to create some gross board states, and huge amounts of mana to get Kazuul out faster, mostly to give you time to find Bitter Ordeal. I haven't played this deck competitively, but I really want to. Any suggestions would be very helpful.

How to Play

The key is to create insurmountable board states, sacrifice a whole bunch of creatures and play Bitter Ordeal to exile your opponents deck with Gravestorm. Luckily, the card doesn't care if things are still in the graveyard, only that permanents went to the graveyard, and tokens count. The nice thing about the Pawn of Ulamog is the Eldrazi spawn you can sacrifice to get a good amount of colorless mana by recurring the gravecrawlers and bloodghasts.

Deck discussion for Bitter Funnel

I like the idea of this deck. Have you considered splashing white for more token generation like lingering souls etc.?
Plus I'd get rid of worm harvest as I see no way to get enough lands into your graveyard. Same for Crucible of Worlds.

I thought about using white for Martial Coup and Lingering souls, but I wanted more resilient and recurring methods. That is how I settled on Pawn of Ulamog and Genesis Chamber.
