Notes
 
Grafdigger's Cage + Pit-Dweller = Opponent never gains control of the Pit-Dweller. This make for a very deadly 2 drop.

Pithing Needle is for countering Planeswalkers, land effects (Drownyard for example), and flashback costs if Grafdigger does not hit the field.

The toughest challenge for this deck will be control decks.
