Ever since I saw Hostage Taker, I knew I wanted to build with it. Heartless Summoning seems to really fit the bill, though the card does tend to push you into Havengul Lich territory.
That's not the worst thing in the world, but games and decklists seem to focus in a bit too much on that aspect. Instead, I want to try The Scarab God in its place. Those are really the only slots I care about.
