Deck overview

This is a Carnage, Crimson Chaos graveyard-midrange deck. Its core plan is to place a small creature in the graveyard, cast Carnage, Crimson Chaos, and reuse creatures with strong enter-the-battlefield, attack, sacrifice, or death triggers. Lightning Skelemental, Fleshbag Marauder, Merciless Executioner, Blood Artist, and Zulaport Cutthroat are the clearest recursion targets. Mayhem cards reward discarding and give the deck additional ways to cast threats from the graveyard. The deck has respectable removal and some creature protection, but it lacks reliable stack interaction, fast selection, and a compact win condition. Its ordinary setup is around turn 5, while its meaningful pressure takes several more turns. It usually wins only when opponents allow incremental combat damage and attrition to accumulate. The deck is therefore a general-power casual engine rather than a competitive combo or lock deck.
