Deck Description

This deck is based on a build by Frank Lepore (tcgplayer.com). The original build called for Vessel of Endless Rest, which I have since switched for Sphere of the Suns. I find that having 4 mana available on turn 3, (as opposed to 1 with VoER) is crucial to maitaining tempo in a meta with some very aggressive decks.
The deck basically works like this... you want to see Faithless Looting or Liliana of the Veil in the first 3 turns. Use these discard engines to fill the graveyard with a big bomb (Griselbrand, Gisela or Flayer...) and an Unburial Rites. On turn 4 you bring the big beastie into play. The deck also has some alternate win conditions with the Lingering Souls, Falkenrath Aristocrat, Sorin package. The Aristocrat and Lingering spirit tokens alone have won me games. If your opponent takes you to the mid or late game they risk you Unburying a big nasty with a Flayer already in play. If you have the Flayer in play and can Unbury Gisela, you can stack the triggers so that her "double damage" ability is already on the stack when the Flayer's Enter the battlefield trigger happens... boom, 10 damage to the face before she ever swings!
It's a really fun deck to play, win or lose.
