I always overlook and misread cards form previews. We all know overlooking and misreading have led quite a few disastrous moments in human history, so forgive me. I'm just a commoner.
This is the overlooked card giving rise to a new deck type:
The cards I want to buy from now on are probably Rally the Ancestors and Liliana, Heretical Healer.
Let me explain. Rally the Ancestors wins you the game, it's easy to understand. As for Liliana, the reasons behind is not lack of twists and turns.
First, we assume our win condition is Zulaport Cutthroat. You may disapprove my point and suggest attacking with the creatures to win. No, don't even try to do that: Standard 1/1s, 2/2s are too weak racing Rhinos and Deathmist Reapers. We desperately need a combo doing 20 or more damage in one turn.
The best case is that we have:
*2-3 token creatures(Blisterpod, Carrier Thrall, Catacomb Sifter), 1 Nantuko Husk and 1 Zulaport Cutthroat on the battlefield and,
*5 mana to cast Rally the Ancestors.
We will sacrifice 3 token creatures to deal 6 damage and generate 3 colorless mana from the Eldrazi Scions they create, and Husk together with Cutthroat adds 2 more damage, Rally the Ancestors doubles the damage to 16. But if your Husk get killed (you can sacrifice itself, it goes to graveyard instead of anywhere.), you won't do enough damage from Rally the Ancestors. Liliana is needed to secure the combo by returning Husk or Cutthroat for Rally - Rally is an instant. Remember, the combo only works with both Cutthroat and Husk on the battlefield.
Other interesting cards for the deck:
Evolutionary Leap, Fleshbag Marauder, Merciless Executioner, Minister of Pain, Qarsi Sadist, Hangarback Walker
