Deck Description

This deck is my take on the Thraximundar deck by Some1.

Here's the link to the original

All comments and suggestions are welcome.

How to Play

Basically you use rockslide elemental or Mortician Beatle and the sac outlets to sac creatures which makes rockslide elemental or mortician beetle bigger.
it's a pretty fast win.

Deck discussion for it's another sacrifice deck

What's the limitations on your deck? What format? Is there a budget? Etc. I'd like to make a few suggestions on upgrading and streamlining the deck, but I'd like to know this stuff first.

I would say it's casual but I'm hoping to make it legacy or vintage and it is pretty cheep but no it is not budget.
as of right now its just pretty much a casual black red sac deck.

Arguably! Legacy / Vintage... I'm not too good with anything older than Modern, but I'll give it a shot.

Firstly, we need to get the best cards we can in each category. Let's start with recession. You want the creatures on the battlefield to sacrifice, not in your hand, so here's a list of creatures that return themselves from the graveyard to the battlefield with little cost to you:
Bloodsoaked Champion
Bloodghast
Dread Wanderer
Nether Traitor
Reassembling Skeleton
Haunted Dead
Alesha, Who Smiles at Death (doesn't return itself, but can return others)
Flamewake Phoenix
Prized Amalgam (enquires a discard outlet as you're not running blue)

Next, sacrifice outlets. Ideally you want the sacrifice outlets to be the ones that give you an advantage, so here's a list of things that give you an advantage for sacrificing creatures:
Indulgent Aristocrat
Plagued Rusalka
Viscera Seer (your best sacrifice outlet as it's free and the Seer costs one mana)
Bloodthrone Vampire
Tymaret, the Murder King
Bontu the Glorified (a little mana hungry, but the scry is useful)
Yahenni, Undying Partisan (Haste and gets bigger for the opponent's creatures dying)

Next, a list of cards that take advantage of all the creatures dying:
Fatal Push
Tragic Slip
Bone Picker (Sometimes called the black Delver)

Lastly, you're going to suffer greatly with only basic lands. In addition to the ?mandatory? dual lands, here's a list of lands that could help further the deck's plan:
Westvale Abbey (requires 5 creatures, but becomes a win condition)
Miren, the Moaning Well (sacrifice outlet on a land)

Ideally you want the cheapest mana effects that give the biggest advantage. I didn't check on prices, but that's why I left a list in each category. Something is bound to be within your budget range. I also didn't list cards you already have in the deck.

Oh, and a note on Tuktuk and his token: Legendary cards generally don't do well at 4x.

The funny thing about tuk tuk is you can play him twice and simply sacrifice one to get to token, due to legend rule.
If your token dies... Just play another tuk tuk and get another token. :P
So it actually kind of works here.

I would be curious to know why you took out Thraximundar? isn't the deck supposed to actually be based around him?

also, since you haven't actually tested this yet, you should say that it is possibly a fast win.
also... you get points for Tuk-Tuk. :)

but I think you have way too many creatures. perhaps you might look at balancing out your creature spells with some non-creature spells. I imagine some kind of graveyard recursion would be usefu, like footbottom feast, or gravepurge. or even disentomb. things like that. and perhaps some more draw or search spells

I found a better card than thraximundar. Mortician Beatle I thought would be a better for to the deck

... Ok. If you think it's better... I guess...

Thraximundar is very expensive (mana wise) and seems to care more for the opponent sacrificing creatures. I must agree that the Beetle functions better here, mostly because it costs 1 mana.

While that is true... The challenge I gave Jacksonfoohia was to build around Thraximundar. Or rather to look at a deck and find what was wrong with it, and improve it. Which he mostly did.

well I decided to use this card instead because it fits the deck better than thraximundar does in this deck.
I was planning to make a different one with thraximundar.

I did before he posted the deck, but it looks like he didn't take my advice.
Viscera Seer is such a great card!

I like the concept here. sac creatures with attrition or barrage of expendables to make mortician beetle or rockslide elemental bigger while already doing some damage with the creatures you have in there.
I just would suggest putting in viscera seer for something else.
