The point of this deck is to destroy any and all creatures that can cause harm. To gain off this, Lhurgoyfs are required. We will use four of them, and a way of getting rid of creatures. 3 Buried Alive, 2 Dry Spell and 3 Ebon Praetors should do the trick. We need weenies to get killed, so we'll put in 3 Llanowar, 3 Fyndhorn, and 3 Quirion Elves, with 3 BoP for speed. Once your Lhurgoyfs are "off the ground" from a Buried Alive, attack with 'Goyfs and Elves/BoPs. After your opponent declares blockers, nuke everything with a Dry Spell. Since damage is dealt before creatures are nuked, make sure you don't have a small 'Goyf.

We need to slow the opponent down and kill creatures fast, so Millstones and Cylixes are assets. Also to complete the task, Drain Life will be in.

To complete the deck, we will insert Ice Storms and Thermokarsts, two each. For lands, Lake of the Dead, Bayou and though it's not land, Dark Ritual's as good as it. Adding the Lotus, Moxes, Glaciers and basics, we're done.

Substitutions
For the rich:
None
 
For the regular, working person:
If Lotuses and Moxes are too high-class for you, Lotus Petal and basics will do, but it won't scare the pants off of the opponent as much. Cut down on expensive lands a bit, like Bayou or Lake of the Dead, and replace them with pain or basics. Also take out an Ice Storm and pop in an elf.
 
For the less fortunate:
Take out Glaciers, replace with Forest, use all above suggestions, remove BoPs, replace with elves. Also have only two Lhurgoyfs and add 2 Thermokarst. Both Ice Storms come out here, and use Sinkholes.
