Evil Dead II: Dead by Dawn

This list is a spicy one that Stephen Boggemes and myself had been working on in anticipation of the Modern GP last weekend in Richmond, and now that it has passed, I am just going to post the list (which I didn't end up playing).

At first glance, this deck makes almost no sense. I still cannot play it optimally.

Essentially, you win the game if you draw and resolve a congregation. Basic kills are to set up either kiki/griselbrand on top or in the grave to take advantage of ooze or skill borrower. You can obviously get more complex, especially if you have borrower in play already. The deck is capable of winning on your third turn's draw step, so it has the raw power needed for the format.

The typical kiki kill is to just target the ooze/borrower over and over and sac them all to the mogg's ability, or wait a turn and attack.

I am not going to write out a whole primer here, just wanted to share, as people were asking about it.
