Description of deck by its author (quoted):
One of the more unexpected cards to make it
into 10th also happens to have one of the coolest names in the set: No
Rest for the Wicked. Sure, it's no Blizzard of Ozz or even Bark at the
Moon, but let's see what we can do with it anyway. The card acts as a
sort of Seal of Raise Dead, except it lets you return multiple
creatures, they have to have been put into your graveyard from play, and
they had to have been put there the turn you sacrifice No Rest for the
Wicked. Okay, so it doesn't really have much in common with Raise Dead
beyond the fact that it returns creatures from your graveyard to your
hand. The main difference between the two, though, is that No Rest for
the Wicked can do some pretty exciting things.
One way to take advantage of No Rest for the Wicked,
perhaps the best way, is to use lots of creatures that can sacrifice
themselves and others for some effect. There is no shortage of such
creatures in 10th. You've got a pair of excellent goblins in Mogg Fanatic
and the frustratingly-hyphenated Siege-Gang Commander. In black, you've
got Nantuko Husk (which will quite happily eat goblin tokens), the
reanima-tastic Doomed Necromancer (which some pundits prone to exaggerate
are calling "reanima-tacular"), and the original Big Bad, Lord of the Pit
(which is also quite happy eating goblin tokens). Festering Goblin is a
great critter to sacrifice to Siege-Gang Commander, Nantuko Husk, or Lord
of the Pit. With all the creatures hitting your bin, Grave Pact becomes a
no-brainer.
Rage Weaver's haste-granting ability is a perfect fit
for Doomed Necromancer, allowing you to play and activate the latter in
the same turn. You can also give haste to the creature you reanimate. Lord
of the Pit is your biggest reanimation target and giving it haste lets you
get in one hit before you have to start sacrificing creatures during your
upkeep to keep big lug around.
I added a few one-ofs, because I like doing that for
some reason. Beacon of Unrest is extra reanimation, Shivan Hellkite is an
extra reanimation target, and Thrull Surgeon is, well, a Thrull Surgeon. I
don't even want to know what kind of diplomas are on the walls in his
office.
