This deck revolves around taking control of your opponents creatures and then sacrificing them before they regain control. This is a quick run through of how the cards work together.

Elvish Mystic is mana ramp and a way of getting the huge numbers of 3 drops out faster.

Yasova Dragonclaw, Jeering Instigator, Act of Treason and to a lesser extent Mob Rule are for taking creatures to hit them with before sacrificing them.

Scourge of Skola Vale , Collateral Damage and Life's Legacy are the sac outlets.

Flamewake Phoenix is great for beat down and self sacrifice.

Shaman of the Great Hunt is just general destruction and eats removal.

Roar of Challenge is for either stealing deathtouch or just hitting for game.

After playtesting this against a variety of other decks I have constructed a basic sideboard.

Hall of Triumph is to make yasova big enough to steal larger creatures

Titan's Strength has the same purpose, but is instant.

Circle of Flame ruins aggro/weenie strategies

Bow of Nylea is great for built up boardstates, aggro, small flying things and can also make yasova bigger

Bassara Tower Archer is pure control (my weakest matchup) hate.

Advice for sideboarding and any changes appreciated.

Playtesting — April 27, 2015

Edit

I played this deck against several competitive level decks, and was surprised by how well it did.

Highlights include: Sacrificing an Arbor Colossus to draw 6 cards on turn 4.
Collateral Damageing a Courser of Kruphix into a Fleecemane Lion several times.
Stealing the one creature a control deck threw at me with Ashiok, Nightmare Weaver for 5 consecutive turns.

Anyway, Its great that this deck is reasonably strong while simply hilarious to play, so thanks to everyone for all the upvotes and suggestions, they helped a lot.
