Hogaak often won without the mill plan, so the deck is still powerful. The non-mill good draws are based off filling the graveyard while having two bodies in play. As such carrion feeder is still a key card: it's a one-drop that can sacrifice a stitcher's supplier to fill the graveyard. Stitcher, carrion feeder and any other one-drop allows playing hogaak on turn 2. Carrion feeder is also protection against path to exile, which is the main answer to a turn-two hogaak. One way Hogaak is resilient is to sac hogaak in response to removal and replay it off having multiple 1-drops and way to fill the GY.
I'm not saying there won't be a better build. The mill plan is still there to fill the GY for the delve requirements of hogaak and to get vengevines.
Well, that turns off the altar angle. Not entirely, they can still recur gravecrawler a few times per turn, but no more full mill once they hit to bridges.
This leaves the deck powerful, but eliminates the turn 2 / 3 kill. They can still have a turn 3 virtual kill if you can't manage a Hogaak with a few friends.
