The owner of this deck hasn't added a sideboard, they probably should...

Deck Description

Phyrexian Ghouls and the Nantuko Husks all have "sacrifice a creature: this creature gets +2/+2." Get those out along with Infernal Genesis and Grave Pact. Infernal Genesis puts out 1/1 minions. Sacrifice the minions to pump up the ghouls/husks and make your opponent sacrifice their creatures because of Grave Pact. You gain life with Dross Harvester. Use Haunted Crossroads to put Delraich or Avatar of Woe on top of your library so you have a bunch of minions. Vampire Nighthawk, Gatekeeper of Malakir, Guul Draz Vampire, and Deathgreeter help you gain life and control things in the early turns. It's pretty awesome so far but sometimes its a little slow. I love that it gets around any creatures with protection or indestructibility. Lemme know what you think! weee!

Deck discussion for Dr. Caligari

Seems to random and unfocused to me. I would pick out 4-5 creatures from all those and have x4 of each so it cuts down on the probability of drawing each and gives more order to the deck. Stick the ones you remove in your sideboard.

I don't think Infernal Genesis is the way you want to go for token generation. It also gives them tokens... I'd still keep it in, but think about Merrow-Gnawer and Thornbite Staff.

marrow gnawer only works if you have rats, and unfortunately he has none :/

Marrow Gnawer... A waste. Dr. Caligari I see. But where is his cabinet?

Gracias guys!

Yeah, everyone else getting minions is definitely a down side with infernal genesis. I wanted something that gets out a lot of tokens so I can sac them and make everyone sac their creatures. It's worked out most of the time but I haven't had a chance to play very many people.

Death Baron and Cemetery Reaper are great ideas. I didn't even realize those creatures were both zombies. How about Undead Warchief? The zombie theme would definitely be a little more Dr. Caligari-like.

Dr. Caligari's somnambulist went missing so he got rid of the cabinet and bought a deck-box. haahaha
