This is my twist on a sacrifice deck for standard. The deck is quite cheap and has a good amount of removal, card selection and card draw. The objective is to stall the game until a Zulaport Cutthroat has been found. Then you can combine Nantuko Husk with Zulaport Cutthroat and finish the game. Another way is going wide with creatures and using Drana, Liberator of Malakir to race. This is a brew so any advice is appreciated.

I love the idea behind this deck! Some suggestions?1) Cut Drana. She boosts your team, yes, but you're sacrificing your team soooo....seems counter-intuitive. You could replace her with Fleshbag or Merciless. Same CMC and it provides pseudo-removal.2) Have you thought about splashing white for Rally the Ancients? Seems good to get back your team, trigger some effects, and stick them back in the yard.3) I would go up 4 on the Sifter and the Abomination. They're a great engine in this deck.4) The removal seems good. Splashing white, again, would be beneficial because you're going to see a lot of Jaces and Rhinos everywhere in the next coming weeks. This opens you up for cheap removal to deal with those two problem cards.5) Consider adding From Beyond. It's an endless source of fodder to empower your engines.Other than these things, I think this deck looks really fun to play as it feels like you're just chucking bodies at your opponent. Too bad Death Pact isn't standard legal or this deck would be insane.

1) Drana just feels great in the deck. She's very good vs aggro, great with Hangarback. I have thought about including fleshbag/executioner in the mainboard however the 3 drop slot is quite contested as is. The sideboard seems more fit for the card(s).2) Rally seems great, however the card exiles the creatures rather than saccing them. So when I cast Rally for 3 I need to be sure that I have both a sac outlet and cutthroat. Since I play 22 lands the deck doesn't hit 5 with ease and double white just to splash seems risky, even though I can then add Fetches + Canopy Vista. Adding to the problem with splashing white are the lands that I'm currently running (Mortuary Mire and Blighted Fen) that I won't be able to run if I add white. The Blighted Fen and Mortuary Mire are a form of insurance.3) The reason why I have Abomination on 2 is the fact that it's super sad to topdeck after a board wipe with no other creatures available. I have the feeling that I want 4 Sifters as well however I can't fit it without cutting Drana.4) With the removal I'm running I don't suspect Rhino will be a big problem. Drana and Hangarback go over the top of Rhino as well. Jace is really good right now, however the deck is quite fast so they'll be inclined to block with Jace if they don't want to die. 5) I have tested a deck that look similar to the suggestion you're making. However the feeling I was getting is that From Beyond is just too slow and too clunky to topdeck in the late game.Thank you for you input! If you have anymore advice, please do post it :)
