Description of deck by its author (quoted):
 Many
of the sacrifice ideas I presented in my article on Cabal Therapy (in
the "Treatment -- Take One for the Team" section) apply here. The main
idea to keep in mind when maximizing Corpse Harvester's effectiveness is
that sometimes sacrifice is a good thing. The most common occurrence is
when you have a creature that's already going to die due to combat
damage or a removal spell. Go ahead and sacrifice it to activate the
Harvester and you could be gaining up to three-for-one card advantage.
Better yet, a targeted removal spell on a creature of yours guarantees
three-for-one card advantage in your favor.
Keeping with the Zombie theme, there are a few sac-worthy creatures of
note: Festering Goblin's sacrifice can take down any annoying
1-toughness creature at instant speed, which can be particularly helpful
when dealing with a Blistering Firecat or a pesky Merfolk Looter. With a
Rotlung Reanimator out there, any sacrificed Cleric replaces itself on
the spot, and there are a handful of good Clerics who are also Zombies
(in keeping with your theme), including Withered Wretch, Boneknitter,
Shepherd of Rot, and Rotlung itself. There are even some Clerics that
support the Zombie theme (without being Zombies themselves) that can
join in the fun, such as Deathmark Prelate and Infernal Caretaker.
There's a very powerful Zombie that can sometimes wear out its welcome,
the mighty Graveborn Muse. Getting rid of your own Muse at the right
time could be vital, especially in a Zombie theme deck.
Lastly, keep in mind that the Corpse Harvester can sacrifice itself to
its effect and put itself into the graveyard. This can be particularly
noteworthy in a deck featuring the creature recursion of Corpse Dance or
Dawn of the Dead, turning Corpse Harvester into a card-drawing machine
every turn.
