The name comes from the utilization of the graveyard, and the similarities to the recently conceived "Landfill" deck.
Now that that is out of the way, I'm going to throw out a very janky list and move on from there:
Engine:
4 Mesmeric Orb
4 Raven's Crime
Graveyard abuse:
4 Tombstalker
4 Jotun Grunt
4 Barrow Ghoul
Utility:
4 Mother of Runes
4 Vindicate
4 Thoughtseize
Removal:
4 StP
4 Smother
Lands:
20 Lands
So the concept is to fill your graveyard fast, and abuse it. This is broad, allowing us to take the deck in a variety of directions. I'd like people's opinions on:
*An aggro route, probably with Green for more beats
*An aggro-control route, with extra LD
*A control route, with Crucible, Volrath's Stronghold, and manlands
*A whole new deck with similar beats but a different engine (for example: Mox Diamond, LftL)
I have yet to test this deck at all, and I'm aware of how savagely it bites without a GY (and how the 'yard filling engine is pretty weak/slow), but the possbilities of such massive beatz, MD 'yard hate, and awesome SB cards (love me some Runed Halo, Spectral Lynx) drove me to post the deck to see if we can realize its potential.
