It's a gifts deck, it works by putting some big dumb fat creature (Grislebrand/Iona) in the graveyard and then reanimating it with unburial rites. You win because you have a huge creature you cheated into play that draws you tons of cards or just prevents your opponent from playing.

 

 

I'm guessing the sun titan is to recycle snapcaster mages? I'm not really seeing why you would want it in this deck other than the big body.

Yeah, it also gets back Fetch Lands and Ghost Quarter.

still... you're losing so much life... almost every single card in this deck costs life. you're most likely going to kill yourself before your opponent does

hes trying to make a point. Life is a resource, not a score. When you can get a 7/7 life link beater out in t4 your not going to lose to your own fetchlands. Most modern decks will do anywhere from 5-10 damage to themselves just with their land base. It's how the format works.

Bob is infamous for being a card that is downright suicidal to keep on the board throughout the entire game. And yet people still run it in 3/4. Griselbrand, Kokusho, and Steel Wind are plenty sufficient ways to stabilize and the lifeloss cards aren't actually out of the ordinary ... practically every deck runs a suite of fetches and every multicolor deck runs a suite of shocks. Thoughtseize is extremely common as well.
