This deck combo's Vela the Night-Clad with Infinite Reflection. The latter turns all creatures into copies of Vela. All copies get sacrificed by the legendary rule and all opponents get (x-1)*x damage with x the number of creatures you control. In its first version, the deck played mainly 1-3 drop creatures which provided as much cards and mana as possible, to realize the combo as quickly as possible. However, that almost never worked out because of poor odds to get the combo together - and boardwipes. The current version plays heavier creatures and a UB reanimator strategy. It uses hostile takeovers to recruit the opponent's creatures to its cause. This brings many creatures at once onto the battlefield, which is much more challenging to control. When Vela the Night-Clad dies, I typically leave her in the graveyard instead of returning her to the command zone.
