I wanted to focus on making attacking painful, which I have attempted a couple of times before. While Desecration Demons allow my opponent to sacrifice enchanted creatures, it was a means to forcing decisions on my opponent. The Nettling Imps and Royal Assassin's fulfill their traditional roles, converting this into a creature-destruction deck, but with a twist. The inclusion of 8 non-basic lands to produce red mana was for the ability of Nettling Curse. The deck is not cheap, averaging 2.62 on a 7/11/12/8/1 curve, but it is mostly at the 2- and 3-spots, so it should not encounter issues often.
