two creatures in particular from M11 have piqued my interest, reassembling skeleton and squadron Hawk. Both of these provide never before seen card advantage. Now combined with efficient equipment options to multiply their usefulness, I think I can make a deck out of it.
Lotus Cobra over BoP. Why? Cobra has better CA, or at least 2-for-1 function than BoP. It can provide mana while being a very effective beater, similar to dark confidant's awesome utility.
Reassembling Skeleton - Completely expendable and recurrable, a real threat with equipment.
Squadron hawk - 1/1 flier body that nets you 2 cards, awesome.
Soul's Attendant - Constant lifegain with all the creatures you crank out/recur, also pumps pridemate.
Nest Invader - Gives CA is in a 0/1 body the comes with it that can +lifegain or ramp.
Pridemate - I have more than enough periodic lifegain effects to justify using these, will get pumped very quickly.
Stoneforge Mystic - Needs no introduction, massively useful card that fits the theme.

This is a rough draft, criticism wanted
You're not allowed Sword of Body and Mind just yet, not quite standard legal and talking about Scars is against Forum policy.
