That's definitley a lot simpler than my one!

Clout of the dominus, it's soooo cheap for what it does
Lust for war also damages my opponent. Also, I've found it quite rare that a deck has absolutely no creatures in it, like I've got a friend with a very effective blue mill deck, but it's based around creatures (merfolk). In the event that there are no creatures, vent sentinel would still be able to pump out a lot of damage, and i would still be able to play and attack with stone idol trap.
I agree about the eternity vessel and I've replaced it with another lotus cobra. I figured that once I have all my land out I would just overwhelm them with molimo, my numerous dragon tokens, elementals from budoka gardener once it's been flipped and my lands themselves once there effected by rude awakening, meaning that it would hopefully end quickly after my many land combo so i wouldn't need to recycle lands to reuse landfall creatures.
Doom blade sounds like a good idea, but I don't think counter spells would be needed unless I'm up against some burn or destroy decks, so I'll put it in the side board. Fetch lands are definitely a good idea though.
the butcher is drawn as the second most expensive card with the caretaker, profane command being the most. I'm happy with it as it is
Then it is done
Also added in the scavenger drakes instead of the beetles. They have roughly the same effect, but are flying
Butcher of Malakir does the same job as gravepact, plus it's a flying creature, so that's now in, replacing one of the hands, along with a minion reflector as I already have one of those so it keeps the cost down. Profane commands are quite costly, so got rid of one for another deathgreeter. Roughly in budget now, just 37p over in magic madhouse prices (without buying the minion reflector or the essence wardens).
I just realised upon re-reading profane command that you get to choose 2 effects, it is now definitley going in.
I left that in there from when I had the gravepact (would have been very nice with that) But I do still quite like the marrow chomper without it, as it gives a very sudden boost your opponent might not be expecting, as it would also power up the beetle at the same time and gain even more health from the deathgreeter
I'm having some of that, nice one. I wasn't too keen on the skittering invasions myself, so I'll get rid of those for some staffs.
And also could add in It That Betrays to go with the gravepact nicely
I did originally have a grave pact in it, but it's quite an expensive card to buy, along with eldrazi monument and awakening zone. My thinking behing the hell's caretaker was that you can sacrifice, for example, dread drone to get back a kozilek's predator, so you get the extra spawns as well as power up for mortician beetle and health from both essence warden and deathgreeter. Next turn you sac the kozilek's predator (or the same turn if both caretakers are in play) to get back dread drone, meaning more spawns, power ups and health.
