Strategy
Junji, the Midnight Sky leads a deck built from the cards players most often run with it, sacrificing its own creatures for value and draining the table. The list holds 12 ramp pieces, 9 pieces of targeted interaction, 2 board wipes and 9 sources of card draw, at an average mana value of 3.15.
Early: The early turns belong to ramp. Fake Your Own Death and the other 12 ramp pieces exist to get Junji, the Midnight Sky out well before its printed cost of 5 would allow.
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. Feed the Swarm is the first answer you will usually reach for, and Nasty End keeps the hand full while you do it.
Late: Hold Massacre Wurm for the turn the table gets ahead of you - with 2 in the deck you can afford to use one early and still have an answer later. At 3.15 average mana value the top end is middling, which means most turns hold two spells.
Win conditions: Wins by draining life a few points at a time while the board keeps recurring.
