Description of deck by its author (quoted):
Two deck ideas present themselves immediately
when looking at this card: a deck with reusable creatures and a deck
with token creatures. The deck based on token creatures looks the most
interesting to me, but I'll first give a quick outline for the other
deck.
For the reusable creature deck, I'm thinking of the
concept of Dancing Gnomes (Bottle Gnomes with Corpse Dance to reuse them
again and again, putting a counter on Black Market each time, allowing you
to dance your gnomes more often per turn). Corpse Dance by itself isn't
enough, though. Disturbed Burial, the buyback Raise Dead is more expensive
to use, but works better with creatures that can't sacrifice themselves. A
single Living Death would be a nasty surprise as well.
For creatures, I'd use Bottle Gnomes, Bone Shredder,
Ticking Gnomes, Thrull Surgeon and Nekrataal. That should be enough to
keep creature decks in check long enough for you to cast a Black Market
and get some counters on it. From then on, keep your life up and start
pinging your opponent down one life at a time with the Ticking Gnomes. You
could just pay the echo and attack with it, but pinging them down is much
more satisfying.
Add a few lands like High Market as well, in case you
have to Corpse Dance a Nekrataal or Bone Shredder and don't want see them
get removed from game because you can't sacrifice them.
