I know making another BR deck sounds weird but between my discontinued Vela, Olivia and Ulasht decks I have a lot of inspiration to make this, so here!
Basically, a friend of mine asked me to help make him a new EDH deck and brought the possibility of Tymaret up. After going through card choices, it made me realize that I had a bunch of the cards for this, so I decided to go ahead and brew the list.
How does one play this deck?
Chuck a recursive creature at someone's face (or God forbid their Planeswalker). Do this a minimum 59 more times. Instant success!
Nuances of the Deck
-Despite the fact that there are a multitude of creatures that return from the graveyard, this deck is actually quite resilient against graveyard hate. Having open mana means you can return Reassembling Skeleton, sacrifice it, return Nether Traitor, return the Skeleton once again, and still have two very potent recursive threats.
-Don't cast Warp World unless you're confident you can outmaneuver your opponents' permanent count. Make sure you know your matchup and board state before you pull the trigger.
-Remember your triggers! The death of any creature triggers multiple permanents this deck has, so be sure to keep a watchful eye out for the value your permanents generate off your creatures dying!

None as of yet!
Lemme know what you guys think! I know the curve is a little high, and I'm thinking about lightening it, but I don't know what alternatives to use. I'm open to suggestions!
I opened some Tymaret, and thought of giving it a go as a commander, but then I figured he's similar to Lyzolda, the Blood Witch. What he does well is translating sacrifices into BR sacrifices, so he works well as a lieutenant to her. Ofcourse, being a MURDER KING is awesome, and having a Lyzolda around makes Tymaret a bit more awesome.
Arkham, the 1920's. Investigators battle horrors from beyond time and space, risking life and sanity while conspiracies of cultists and malign servitors seek gateways for their outer gods to return...
Soon, the stars will be right! Great Cthulhu shall rise!
One point I probably should have made is that while you can't draw cards with Tymaret, you can always cast him for 2, and you can repeatedly cast Gravecrawler. Food for thought, really; kinda getting tired of the comparisons being the only thing people look at with Tymaret.

That's a nice synergy. I just picked up a foil Tymaret, so I was thinking about building him, too. Plus, I really like the flavor behind the Returned.
EDIT: Have you thought of including Ghitu Encampment or Spawning Pool? Extra sac targets/chump blockers, if nothing else.

Why Tymaret, the Murder King?
How does one play this deck?
Nuances of the Deck
-The phrase "nontoken creature" is very important to this deck. Genesis Chamber, Pawn of Ulamog and Ogre Slumlord all generate tokens, Harvester of Souls draws you cards, and Nim Deathmantle can return them to play.
-Soulbright Flamekin, Sylvok Lifestaff, Furnace Celebration and Nim Deathmantle are just some of the decent manasinks to use your nonred mana that your permanents tend to generate. (Most of the red mana should be poured into Tymaret, of course.)
-Don't cast Warp World unless you're confident you can outmaneuver your opponents' permanent count. Make sure you know your matchup and board state before you pull the trigger.
-Remember your triggers! The death of any creature triggers multiple permanents this deck has, so be sure to keep a watchful eye out for the value your permanents generate off your creatures dying!
