Now seeing the full spoiler, I decided to share a shell I previously worked on during Aether Revolt but dropped while developing my modern deck. It was a red/black steal and sac deck built around Wrangle, Kari Zev's Expertise, Yahenni, and other sac outlets. The shell wasn't better than the R/B aggro or Mardu Vehicles. I felt a few more pieces were needed. Thanks to Amonkhet, we gain access to Fling, Heart Piercer Manticore, and Hazoret's Favor as additional sacrifice outlets for our deck. This is a theory rough draft of what the core would look like and I am hoping for some ideas in development.
I've been drafting up a deck for fun at FNM that's based around stealing and sacrificing my opponent's creatures to Bontu the Glorified. The idea feels sound on paper. Load up on cheap threaten effects (I'm running a full playset of Wrangle), sac their creatures to either Bontu herself or another outlet like Altar's Reap (cards like this and Fling are why I'm also running a full set of Kari Zev's Expertise) and then swing at them with a 4/6 indestructible that probably isn't going to be blocked due to menace. I think I'm probably going to put a few copies of Sweltering Suns in the main board too so that I won't get overwhelmed by token or aggro decks.

4 Heart Piercer Manticore
3 Yahenni, Undying Partisan
4 Fling
3 Wrangle
4 Kari Zev's Expertise
2 Hazoret's Favor
My initial thoughts are to wrap it around a red black aggro/midrange build with some burn/fatal push to take advantage of the Expertise's free cast.
