This was another of those color-combo decks, this time Grixis. The goal was to slip past defenders and hit hard. The creatures are not exactly cheap, but also not bad. Echoing Truth buys time, and everything else is there to make my opponent worry about taking too much damage. It is not subtle, but it is an effective approach to beatdown. The 8/12/16/4 curve even gives a pretty inexpensive (for what it is) 2.40 average cost.
