Death Pit Offering Deck

[snake]

Here's a deck I threw together the otehr day. Basically get as many creatures out as fast as I can, and then use Death Pits to sacrifice them and boost their power. Then play Tormod's Crypt to empty my opponents graveyard, and then use Living Death to bring my creatures back. And close it with Portcullis to stop my opponents from playing anymore creatures. I use Dark Ritual to help me pay for all this.

Artifacts:
Portcullis-2
Tormods Crypt-4

Black:
Death Pit Offering-4
Living Death-4
Demonic Tutor-4
Dark Ritual-4
Black Knight-4
Dauthi Mercenary-4
Gravegouger-4
Festering Goblin-4
Grave Pact-2

Land:
Swamp-20

TOTAL-60

How many of each are going to be in the deck?

Oh, an idea I just thought of: Since Death Pit Offering gives everything +2/+2, if you have a way to create a bunch of tokens that would really abuse it. Say, something like Breeding Pit or Orochi Hatchery.

[snake]

I'm not sure how many will be in the deck, any suggestions? I may put Breeding Pit in, but the two Swamp upkeep worries me a little. I like Orochi Hatchery a little more, I may have an extra one or two of those also.

Played this deck a couple of times, and it works quite well. Finalized version below.

Did you consider the possibility of Carnophage as a first-turn drop creature?

[snake]

Never heard of that creature, I do have Festering Goblin which is a first turn drop.

[Maraxus of Keld]

Since I don't have the ability to automatically link the card and I'm too lazy to do it manually, Carnophage looks something like this:

Carnophage
Cost: B
2/2

During your upkeep, lose 1 life.
