Deck Description

Kill everything, even your own creatures, and win!!

Flesh Carver is an optional switch for Fain or Ayara.

Idea of the deck is to kill as many things as possible, allowing for a ton of damage, life gain, +1/+1 counters, & card draw; all per card destroyed.
Mana costs are kept low to allow for flexibility and to allow you to fuel sacrifice engines (examples being Flesh Carver, Fain, Ayara) with Tenacious Dead.

If Blood Artist and Dark Prophecy are in play, then each sacrifice means more damage and card draw, and these 2 cards will cancel out the life lost from Dark Prophecy.

Since mana costs are low, cards are likely to be played very quickly, so card draw from Dark Prophecy and Ayara are pretty important to keep the deck fueled for longer games

Vengeful Strangler can be an "always attack" card, or it can fuel sacrifices, and set up your opponent to have to sacrifice a non-land card, loose life, and buff Slaughter Specialist.

I gotcha.

That opens up some really interesting (and relatively cheap) card options then. I'm gunna assume this is a budget build, please correct me if I'm mistaken. Some of the best options for a build like this are unfortunately expensive, such as Grave Pact, [[Bitterbloom Bearer]], Orcish Bowmasters, and other vintage staple cards. But that's ok, you can still build a dynamite build on a budget.

First and foremost, builds like this are crying for 4 copies of Skullclamp. They net you material like crazy and perfectly synergize with what you're doing to the point of lunacy. You're also allowed to run a copy of Sol Ring, which would help speed things up quite a bit if you tweak the deck some (which I'm advocating) so it's not just all black mana pips.

You'd also very much like to run some recursion critters so you've got fodder to sacrifice, such as Bloodghast, Marionette Apprentice, Jadar, Ghoulcaller of Nephalia, Forsaken Miner, [[Timeline Culler]], Infestation Sage, Bloodsoaked Champion, Genesis Chamber, and Ghoulish Procession.

The best combo possible in this type of build is the Carrion Feeder and Gravecrawler combo, which would slot in very nicely with some of the sac fodder as well.

Then there are the payoff cards that benefit from you sacking, such as Zulaport Cutthroat and Grim Haruspex, though you don't want to run too many of them, especially since you'll want to run Skullclamp which is your major payoff.

Case of the Stashed Skeleton would be a fun addition in here, as it gives you critter fodder and a followup Demonic Tutor kicker, which should go a pretty long way in the build.

I'd also advise cutting down the curve quite a bit, as you really want to be able to play a 1-drop turn 1 and keep accelerating from there. You've got fourteen 3-drops, and that's gunna clog up a lot of opening hands. Cutting Breathe Your Last helps, and you don't really want to mess with it anyway, as it will only net you a tiny bit of life and there are much better spot removal options available. Fain is also pretty slow/lower impact for the mana cost, and there are cheaper and better sac outlets available.

Just some ideas, not trying to throw shade at the build.

definitely trying to build on a budget, but there are some great recommendations here! I will have to take a look at this and revise the deck.
Thanks for the input!
Great recommendations!
