Notes:
Quick brew that went 3-1-0 @ FNM. Suggestions appreciated. I wanted to make use of undying creatures, but I wasn't sure splashing green would be worth it. Lost horribly in games where my opponent kept dropping thragtusks repeatedly.

You might want to consider adding vexing devil and brimstone volley to your main deck, especially if your focus is killspell.dec.

It's not. It's a sac deck. The kill spell is just a precautionary measure

Even so, 5 damage for 3 mana isn't bad. Although I do like your ideas. Consider Altar's Reap? Another sac outlet and it gives you card advantage.

Trade the spike jesters for  {Blood Artist}.

This deck needs the hasters. I tried blood artist and it just ended up slowing me down.

I typically clear the board turn 3, 4, or 5 with showstopper depending on the match up.

And you're right, 5 dmg for 3 mana is great. It just seems a little mana heavy for this deck.
