Description of deck by it's author
(quoted):
My next deck is based not on a combo per se,
but two cards that share a common theme: Kuon, Ogre Ascendant and
Promise of Bunrei. In case you're wondering, that is pronounced
“bun-ray.” Why are you laughing? You think that word is funny? You think
that a promise of it is even funnier? Nice. Real mature on your part.
Kuon wants three creatures to die. Promise of Bunrei wants one of your
creatures to die, at which point it will make more creatures that you
can snuff out, which Kuon likes quite a bit. Kuon doesn't care whose
creatures die, though; a timely Barter in Blood while you have some
spare creatures lying around can set off both cards. When Kuon goes all
morbid, he flips into Kuon's Essence, a musky aroma with accents of
cinnamon, loganberries, and old gym socks. It's a newfangled The Abyss
that hits artifact creatures but gives you less choice in the
proceedings. Luckily, you have a bunch of token creatures, each more
expendable than the last.
The entire deck creates creatures to sacrifice, helps you sacrifice
them, takes advantage of your sacrifice effects, or (in the case of
Ink-Eyes) takes advantage of your opponent's well-stocked graveyard.
Auramancer is there to retrieve a spent Promise of Bunrei, then can be
sacrificed to trigger the Promise and make more token creatures.
