You want
more creatures or
less? Fleshbag marauder is Innocent blood on a stick, it'd be great with Debtor's knell.
Another idea for such a deck I encountered recently (a
nice read btw) that revolved around getting a lot of mana with Cabal coffers. This worked through Living wish and Sylvan scrying. The writer missed Vesuva as Coffers 5-8 btw. Living wish can be quite an investment, but Scrying is an uncommon (as is Coffers, but they're pricey as well). If you have beaucoup mana, you can do very stupid things. You could try Scapeshift as well.
A card that'd be absolutely the stone cold nuts is Liliana Vess.
