4 Mulch
4 Forbidden alchemy
4 wreath of geists
4 ghoulcaller's bell
4 stitcher's apprentice
4 armored skaab
4 boneyard wurm
4 splinterfright
4 kessig cagebreakers
2-4 ???
some lands
Based on my kitchen table playtesting, you should get approx. 10 wolf tokens somewhere between turns 6 - 8 , everytime. Then just tap those splinterfrights as well, and it's no longer a laughing matter... For your opponent, that is. I always laugh like hell when I get to do that

An awesome card, but you have to build your deck around it.
This + 2 x Trepanation Blade + Bone Wurm/Bonehoard = Evil Demonic laughter and one scared opponent...

@Hanksingle
was experimenting with BUG also. however i go for mulch + forbidden alchemy + deranged assistant to fuel my graveyard.
one approach that i think works with this is to have rangers guile or any instant to protect Cagebreakers and a swiftfoot boots on the board for instant death.
My playgroup is just dumbfounded with being attacked by 20 wolves. Its quite easy when they tap out for their fatty, when ur turn comes they'll be over run.

I'm using this with Birthing Pod. It's nice cause I can sacrifice my way to it, filling my graveyard with creatures to make 2/2's with along the way. I've also made the four drop I tutor for an Academy Rector and so when I swap him for the Cagebreaker I put a Parallel Lives on the field so I get double the sac'd creatures. It seems complicated but once I get one Birthing pod it takes care of itself.

Insane in my self-mill deck. A lot of the time it'll get removed before it can attack (especially in multiplayer) because it's such a high profile target, but then you just bring it back with Postmortem Lunge and swing with thirteen wolves in their face. :D

I play this guy with Splinterfright. He's really disgusting; had him out on turn 6 today swinging for 25 with his buddies. A solid card, and the flavor's great too! 4.5/5

Innistrand has done a great job with the human creature type and this card is no exception. This is going to be your key damage card in your self-mill or scarifice deck. I mean, even if he dies during the attack, if you've been playing it right your oppoent will still have to deal with 5+ 2/2 wolves swarming him. A card that just demands that you play multiple copies and substancial power-ups.
But what if he ends up in the graveyard? That's why they have cards like Back from the Brink and Postmortem Lunge.

I made a deck around the graveyard in standard, and this is just amazing. I figured Ghoultree might be the allstar but I was wrong. Amazing card, even if there's just a couple creatures in your grave it pumps out a couple tokens.

@AlbinoSnowman: No Victim of the Night isn't Micheal Vick. That title falls to Wren's Run Packmaster As for this guy. He's okay. He'll probably eat a kill spell, but if it does connect it could get silly.

Works well with Exalted, because the wolf tokens are never declared as attackers.
Attacking with Kessig Cagebreakers alone will bring a horde of wolves, but the Cagebreakers will still get bonuses from every Exalted effect you have. I expect these rogues to continue breaking cages well into 2013.
