The deck is used to have ample use of Athreos, God of Passage. That's the reason why there are so many sac outlets. To help with board control, use of Grave Pact and cards like it are used. I liked the idea of making people pay when I sac one of my creatures. But just in cause, I do have the ability to get the creature back myself. The way I'm hoping to win is forcing people to pay life. Bleeding is a common theme in this deck. The extort mechanic is a most have in this deck.
Little bit of history with this deck:
I have had the deck for a while now. I enjoy the deck as it annoys people. The first build of this deck was weak. It had good survival but lacked any real way of winning. I found I often did the same thing repeatedly as a lot of the cards had no real threat and people allowed me to replace the cards back in my hand. I have tempted to change that by adding Angel of Despair. The deck is still a work in progress, but least I am moving in the right direction.
Debt to the Deathless and Exsanguinate are common ways I went the game. I control and beat down as much as I can till I can pour a lot of mana into either of these spells.
Feel free to make any comments on this deck.
This deck is still under construction. Looking for any help with the themes.
Endrek Sahr, Master Breeder needs to get in on this (as well as maybe a few other permanent-based token producers) otherwise, you should take out a few sac effects, you're running more than necessary. Gnawing Zombie is sub-par, to say the least.
All in all, I like the list on as far as I can tell.
It's been a little while since I have updated this deck. Now I'm in the process of building this deck. Just wanted to start by thanking everyone who gave suggestions to this deck. Also if anyone else has any suggestions, please post them.
The changes I have done so far:
+ Bloodline Keeper
+ Endrek Sahr, Master Breeder
+ Erebos, God of the Dead
+ Dust to Dust
+ Revoke Existence
+ Greed
And the land base has been changed to suit the changes in cards. Also some speciality lands have been added thanks to the release of M15 and the soon release of the fetch lands from ToK.

Just bringing this deck back up to the top to see if anyone can suggest any changes or improvements to the deck. It has been a while since I updated this check. Just in curious for the changes you can see the old deck list blow.
Most of the changes in the deck was made to make it a more heavy hitter with spells like Angel of Despair. I know cards like this will not be brought back into my hand, but a nice way to make them pay the three life. I also removed a lot of the tutors because I become bored playing with them. I have also removed most of the life gain as I noticed it did little to help with me.
