The genesis for this deck comes, once again, via Thraben U, who has played a few variants of it. The skeleton comes from a deck I put into The Retired pile (mostly the manabase) and a desire to streamline the colors. A solid manabase goes a long way.
The name is probably obvious.
As a two color deck, I had to make some choices to make up for the lack of Lion's Eye Diamond, Vengevine and Basking Rootwalla. On the flipside this made the inclusion of Anger not only easy, but a necessity. (Also, I remember when Lion's Eye Diamond was awful. Which is wild to think about as the card costs $430 for a heavily played one.)
Kitchen Imp is being overlooked even in non-Anger decks, since a 2/2 with haste for B is good and can also take on an opposing Delver of Secrets. The hasty flier is my replacement for Vengevine, and Night's Whisper a way to work with Faithless Looting to keep the cards coming.
Ovalchase Daredevil was a card I stole from someone else's list while doing research for the deck. The synergy with The Underworld Cookbook is something I initially slept on but hope to get good things from.
Finally, Tombstalker was a suggestion from either Matt or Caitlin, I don't remember exactly. I don't know if this is a good card for this deck but if I can get a 5/5 flyer with haste for BB then that is an outstanding rate.
