 I've thought a lot about this build and exactly what would make it work efficiently; this is what I've come up with.

Opening:
1)Ravenous Ghoul, mana crystal (if no rush)
2)Ichthilid, FD enchantment
3)Acolyte of the Bog Queen, Sacrificial Alter

On turn 3 play an Acolyte, have the Ichthilid attack it, sacrifice the aco then have the Ravenous Ghoul eat the remains. One small creature for so many benefits!

Other questions might be addressed in the video, if not, then throw them at me!

This book concept was originally talked about in the following thread as well. Props to Rodriguekhalil

As I wrote in the first topic about this deck I think it could be a good option to put in Altar of skull's and one more queen. In this way you can also pray at the altar within your combo (and get some use of the queens action). At the end you summon one more queen who could keep praying for the altar to start. This will make the combo one turn slower so you can only do this if you see you opponent slow playing as well (but then is also when the altar shines at most).

Nice to see "The Battleforge" go live! I also liked that you did pick up a deck from the forum that might have some potential, and not just your own ideas. Keep up the good work!

Tried it… It's just too slow. You really need to not be rushed at all.

  Just watched the episode!  Great ideas there. Thanks for the credit and yes, you did pronounce my name correctly

I read Sacrifical Altar and 3x Bog Queen and I knew it was Ichthellid before getting to read the entire list.
