Description of deck by its author
(quoted):
Let's jump right into the meat of this monster
with tribal. It's the basis of so many theme decks, and why not? It
gives your deck a flavor feel, an aura of back story, an air of realism.
Creature types generally work synergistically, making them easy to build
decks around. Lords of the various types are good, but decks don't
necessarily need to be based around them; Horrors don't have a lord, but
that doesn't make them any less fun to play, in a wacky sort of way.
Many Horrors are based around the graveyard, with threshold or sacrifice
mechanics. There's a deck concept right there, and no "+1/ +1 to all
Horrors" in sight.
The point of this deck is... well, to quote myself
earlier, wacky. It eats itself, discards itself, and generally seems
self-destructive. But it can hit threshold with ease, drop fatties into
play with Hell's Caretaker, and force its gluttonous nature onto your
opponent with Grave Pact. Toss a Gleancrawler into the mix, and you've
got yourself quite the devious cycle. And of course, there's that small,
tiny chance your opening hand will be a dark ritual, three Ridged
Kusites, a few Swamps and a Delraich. Hey... it could happen!
