Deck Description

Black Sacrifice (Zombie, Vampire, Horror).

How to Play

Combo as much as you can.
You can play creatures such as Mortician Beetle and Bloodthrone Vampire to creature a loop of +1/+1 counters with Gravecrawler and Pawn of Ulamog. Grave Pact turns the game into a one-sided fight once you have substantial amount of mana and gravecrawler/zombies out.

Ideal scenario:

Turn 1-> Mortician Beetle.
Turn 2-> Dark Ritual -> Blood Throne Vampire, Gravecrawler, Diregraf Ghoul.
Turn 3-> Dark Ritual if you're lucky -> Grave Pact -> Fume Spitter
Turn 4-> Sacrifice Gravecrawler, returning him for one black mana, repeating this process three more times. Your opponent has to sacrifice four creatures, you then sacrifice Fume Spitter, killing a 1/1 weenie if they have one, making them sacrifice one more creature because of Grave Pact. Mortician Beetle becomes a 10/10 (4x Gravecrawler recursion, 5x sacrificed creature from opponent, if they have 5 and 1x from sacrificing Fume Spitter). You then swing for your 9/9 Bloodthrone Vampire, Gravecrawler, and Mortician Beetle. Suppose your opponent drops an oblivion ring and unsummon on your Mortician Beetle and Vampire.
Turn 5-> Repeat the process of Bloodthrone Vampire, and play Buried Alive if you found one. Your opponent is less than 10 life after you swing with Bloodthrone, bringing out three bloodghasts with haste (ability) swinging for 6.
Turn 6-> Is there even a turn 6..

*Cabal Therapy synergizes well with this deck because you can sac creatures, making Mortician Beetle stronger and just returning the Gravecrawler for 1, while destroying a card from your opponent, granting card advantage for you and card disadvantage for your opponent. Suppose you kill an oblivion ring while your opponent was planning to kill a gravecrawler, after you played Buried Alive making 3 gravecrawlers appear in your graveyeard. You can still continue with your combos and destroy your opponent.*
