Those Eldraine 4cc guys are suuuper cool with devotion. Deathless Knight is pretty cool in here for crazy devotion and there's a decent amount of ways to get it back and it's just a cool beater.
Nightmare Shepherd can do cool stuff with Gary too since he'd copy it and set off a second big hit. So with a really good curve of turn 3 Ayara, 4 Shepherd and 5 Gary. You can sac Gary to Ayara after playing him and get in that other big hit.
I just watched a kinda cool video on standard MBD (Mind you, this came out after our cool decks) and I REALLY liked the idea of Nightmare Shepherd and overlooked it at first. You can sac Gary to Ayara or Witch's Cauldron if you're running that and it would copy Gary and set off a second big damage effect. Pretty darn cool. I ended up taking out Spawn Of Mayhem for the Shepherd in my personal build.
I like Nightmare Shepherd, but I think 4x is too many. You want cards that are cheaper or have an etb to bait out removal before playing a 4 drop that dies to every removal spell in standard. I guess it depends on how many removal-less stompy decks are in the meta. I'm also medium on shadow spear. I think it's probably better as eat to extinction. I think it suites a beat down strategy better, but mbd will probably want to grind.

I'm planning on running something kind of like this. Lower to the ground with a knight subtheme.
I just watched a kinda cool video on standard MBD (Mind you, this came out after our cool decks) and I REALLY liked the idea of Nightmare Shepherd and overlooked it at first.

Here's the vid if anyone's interested.
