Strategy
Massacre Girl, Known Killer leads a deck built from the cards players most often run with it, putting +1/+1 counters on things and growing them out of range. The list holds 12 ramp pieces, 15 pieces of targeted interaction, 8 board wipes and 9 sources of card draw, at an average mana value of 3.41.
Early: Use the early turns on mana. Dark Ritual and the rest of the 12 ramp pieces are what let the deck cast Massacre Girl, Known Killer on curve and keep casting after it.
Mid: Once the commander is down, the deck wants to be doing two things at once: advancing its own board and answering everyone else's. Blowfly Infestation is the first answer you will usually reach for, and Morbid Opportunist keeps the hand full while you do it.
Late: Hold Massacre Girl for the turn the table gets ahead of you - with 8 in the deck you can afford to use one early and still have an answer later. At 3.41 average mana value the top end is middling, which means most turns hold two spells.
Win conditions: Wins by growing a threat past what the table can answer and connecting with it.
