steal the opponent's creatures, use them against them, and sacrifice them for even more benefit.
Early play with Disciple of Griselbrand, Bloodflow Connoisseur, and Skirsdag Cultists then use Acts of Treason, Traitorous Blood and Mark of Mutiny in order to steal your opponent's creatures and attack them with them. Then, regardless of whether they block or not, you can still use the sacrificial outlets to gain additional benefits from the dying creature before it returns to your opponent. Altar reap provides you a cheap sacrificial card that can give you card draw. Bone splinters allows you to kill two of your enemie's creatures in a single turn. Finally in mid game use the Charmbreaker devils to recover your creature stealing sorceries, and other spells so you can rinse and repeat. Rise from the grave is in there to either take a really powerful creature from your opponent's graveyard, or to bring back a Charmbreaker Devil that bit the dust.

I've actually had a Sacrifice deck just like this one. Different of course, but same idea of using sacrifice benefits and gain creature control. I like your take. Since then I've gone through many different versions of The Sacrifice deck and I love them all.

Thanks for the comment!I really like the idea of using the devil to keep getting the sorceries back so I can continue stealing and sacrificing the opponent's creatures.
I really do like this idea, how does it do competetively?
I've tested this deck against quite a few other decks and it hold up really well. It's weakness is two-fold. It doesn't do well against re-animator decks and blink decks, or other decks that allow the player to sacrifice his own creatures. It would need a sideboard to handle these things. I might try and figure out a good side board to address these weaknesses.
Very nice deck. Like this one a lot more than the one I created. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
You bet! As I mention to the poster above, it still need some work to be viable against some of the more powerful decks out there, but it is pretty decent. I think I might definitely also add Glaring Spotlight in the deck to counter hexproof decks.
Modified the deck slightly to include Skirsdag High Priest. This way if I get three black creatures on the board I am able to use the sack outlet to get 5/5 flying demons in addition to whatever benefit I get.
Added a sideboard of sorceries that summon creatures that can replace the creature stealing spells. Also added Mizzium Mortar to the sideboard to have more creature removal. I still don't know how well it would fare against re-animator decks, but it might work well enough.
Wouldn't Bonfire of the Damned be a better creature remover than Mizzium Mortar? For the same converted mana cost you would deal 4 damage to all their creatures and them. Makes the deck a bit more expensive, but might be worth it if you are getting overrun by creatures.Why would you need to replace the stealing spells if you have a hexproof remover?Like the 5/5 Demon token creator idea though :)
Has anybody gruul charmed you when you used this deck?
Grafdigger's Cage is always strong vs reanimator (as is Ash Zealot), also it won't affect your Charmbreakers, only Rise from the Grave.Would Conjurer's Closet give you permanent control over the stolen creatures? I don't really know, but it would be amazing!
I don't know that Conjurer's Closet would give me permanent control. Somehow I doubt it. I've never been Gruul Chamred, but there is a first time for everything. Slayus, I wholeheartedly agree about Bonfire. It's just a very expensive card, and I am cheap, but I would totally go for it.Cruncher, Grafdigger's Cage would be a must for re-animator decks, I agree.
Have you had any issues with fast burn/creature decks?It takes until at least turn 3 to start stealing creatures and by that time you could have taken almost enough damage to kill you.Any ideas on how to deal with these types of decks?
