Recently started playing this guy with Blood Artist, 2/2s are easy enough to block and kill, which is great! :)

This is probably my favorite card in my Self-mill deck.
I run BUG with white splashed for Unburial Rites and this wins games if they don't kill it.

This card can win games on its own if it isn't dealt with early on. If your deck just has even 2 or 3 creatures in it, that's 6 damage split into 2/2's that your opponent needs find a solution for in addition to this guy. You could even fog yourself to save the wolves from being removed, and you'll have twice as many for the next turn!
I got my friends afraid of this card overnight after originally doubting its playability. In the right setup, these guys just devour an opponent.
Definitely one of my favorite cards. Not only because it's powerful, but because it's fun to play and doesn't always ruin the game for my opponent.

I run several of these in my heavily modified grave power deck (it's an intro deck from Dark Ascension). It's not unusual for me to swing with 13 creatures in my graveyard. If you're thinking about running a deck like that, here are some suggestions:
Helpful cards:
Armored Skaab: General self-mill
Dawntreader Elk: Land on the field, creature in the graveyard. What more do you want?
Tracker's Instincts/Forbidden Alchemy/Mulch: Self-mill that's a little less random. The flashback is a nice addition
Tower Geist: Self-mill, card advantage
Roaring Primadox: Good for recurring your Armored Skaabs and Tower Geists
Mirror-Mad Phantasm: I personally have mixed feelings towards this (it's killed me before), but it can work well under the right circumstances
As for other cards that capitalize off of your dead creatures:
autocard... (see all)

If this had haste it would be a mythic. So run it with Lightning Mauler.

Works great with Gruuls bloodrush ability from Return to Ravnica.
:Declare attack -cagebreakers ability on the stack-
:Bloodrush something -gives cagebreakers the boost-, -ability checks number of cads in graveyard-
And now you're attacking with a bigger cagebreaker and an additional 2/2 wolf
