The owner of this deck hasn't added a sideboard, they probably should...

Deck Description

ok, so I wanted a reasonable deck that could give me a turn 1-4 win using blood artist, but I can't seem to make this work exactly like I want. really looking for more consistency in getting my pieces into my hand.

Originally I wanted to run Yawgmoth's Will and Memnite with Viscera Seer and Blood Artist, but Yawgoth's Will exiles any cards that would enter the graveyard that turn... :(

so if anybody knows how to pull off the Memnite/viscera seer combo, which is much simpler and easier than having carnival of souls out for the Gravecrawler, that would be really awesome to know.

also, street wraith is here strictly for the card draw.

comments and suggestions are welcome. :)

How to Play

Best case scenario has a Gemstone Cavern in hand, so it comes into play on turn 0.
turn 1 play a mana source, play Dark Ritual for Blood Artist and Viscera Seer or Carrion Feeder, and entomb for Gravecrawler, and hope that you draw into a Spoils of the Vault or Carnival of Souls.

after that keep sacrificing Gravecrawler to Carrion feeder, triggering Blood Artist and using the mana from Carnival to keep casting it from the graveyard to sac again, thus repeating the cycle.
