It's a little silly, but it's pretty proactive, allowing you to either mill them to death or attack them to death.
The other 2 proactive decks i have that are not combo-heavy are:
- rakdos the defiler. Think red/black aggro and suicide, paying tonnes of life for tempo.
- zedruu the greathearted. Think lots of 1-2 cmc auras that boost power, protects zedruu, and then get zedruu to donate them to your opponents, giving you life, cards, and beats. its one of the few decks i have where its possible to forbid-softlock the table (it's really hard to get there though). The biggest strength of zedruu is that you get to play oft-ignored cards like blue scarab and bravado, and being able to donate them really changes how you assess the board.
My current build aims to throw a bunch of petitioners into play, then using things like bloodbond march, parallel lives, thrumming stone to churn a lot into play, beastmaster ascension, overrun, and stuff like that to cream your opponents.
