Old Stickfingers costs {X}{B}{G}. When you cast him, you reveal cards until you hit X creature cards, put those creatures into your graveyard and bottom the rest. His power and toughness equal the creature cards in your graveyard, but his real job is the cast trigger. It works like Buried Alive that you can cast from the command zone. Even if he gets countered, the creatures are already in the graveyard. The deck uses that to set up reanimation spells and graveyard combos.
In the recorded games, the deck mostly played as fast reanimator. Entomb and Buried Alive set things up, Animate Dead, Persist and Recurring Nightmare brought creatures back, and Razaketh, the Foulblooded sacrificed creatures to find the rest of the combo. One common kill was Chain of Smog with Witherbloom Apprentice, copying the spell over and over to drain the table. Bolas's Citadel and Ad Nauseam showed up as extra card advantage. Graveyard hate like Deathrite Shaman, plus Drannith Magistrate taxing the commander, slowed it down a lot. Opponents also targeted tutors like Wishclaw Talisman.
