Sacrificial Scam

Conquest Theme Deck
"Dead and Buried" no longer means what it used to. Sacrificial Scam takes that fallacy and milks the lie for all it's worth.
With six first turn plays, you'll get off on the right foot. It won't be long before you can play Blood Runner. As the grist mill moves on, you'll start using your Spite triggers to gain life and mill more cards into your graveyard. Put a creature card in the 'yard to play Brutish Werewolf and bring the card back to your hand to play Army of Kings (always try to return at least one Army of Kings in your graveyard back from the dead whenever you play another Army of Kings.) As you go through this order of events, return a used Soul Knife to your hand or drain life with Woescribe triggers
This deck wins by never giving up. There's always a new creature waiting behind the one in play. Soul Knife and Dark Light Castle also provide a significant amount of reach. When you are ready to add cards, Implode Mind and Ragespitter are good choices for new cards. Or you could increase the number of Army of Kings, Grave Trollings, Soul Knives and Traitorous Viper.
