Notes
 
Difficulty: 4/10
Fairly simple to play combo-like deck; not too many decisions involved. Victory is partly luck and partly reliant on when to use Gnaw to the Bone and when to go for an attack when at parity.

Your first few turns should strongly depend on whether you are on the play or on the draw, and what the opposing deck does first. If you can stabilize with a decently sized Boneyard Wurm or a Ghoultree, build up your defenses with extra creatures (Deranged Assistant, or a Splinterfright to fuel your graveyard with flashback effects and creatures), and when you are comfortable enough to swing in, do so; a large Boneyard Wurm will win the game in a few turns, moreso if paired with a Wingcrafter. Laboratory Maniac often helps a lot as you will have a second win condition - just be careful not to play into any spot removal they have, as an instant-speed answer will turn your victory into a loss. Havengul Lich also provides a quick way to get Splinterfrights and Boneyard Wurms from your graveyard back into the battlefield.

This deck is useful for teaching the following concepts to newer players:
-Turning Drawbacks into Benefits
-Options Available Outside of Hand
-Mana Color Management
