So how does this work?

Hard win-cons

Your hard win-cons are based around infinite death triggers using tokens or undying triggers. 1. Blowfly Infestation and Nest of Scarabs can create and destroy infinite insect tokens by themselves, you just need Yawgmoth, Thran Physician to get it started, and Blood Artist or Zulaport Cutthroat for the damage. 2. Geralf's Messenger and Butcher Ghoul can be sacrificed in an alternating fashion with Yawgmoth, Thran Physician to trigger Blood Artist or Zulaport Cutthroat. 3. Mikaeus, the Unhallowed allows for a similar combo as before, but you'll need two non-human non-tokens along with Yawgmoth, Thran Physician and Blood Artist or Zulaport Cutthroat (Blood artist can be one of the non-humans that you need)

Other ways to win

Your other ways to win tend to revolve around proliferation with Yawgmoth, Thran Physician's second ability. Ichor Rats and Darksteel Reactor put a clock on your opponent, any planeswalker can be proliferated to get their ultimate ability off faster, and if you can get Myojin of Night's Reach proliferated, your opponents will just never have a hand to play with. Nest of Scarabs by itself is still excellent with Yawgmoth, Thran Physician's first ability. As long as you have one creature to sacrifice to start the chain, you can sac insects to clear the opponent's board and draw a bunch of cards, assuming you have the life to do so.

Ramp

The curve for this deck is rather high, so we need every bit of mana we can get. Crypt Ghast and Nirkana Revenant will double your swamp output, and can also be sacrificed to start a combo. Dark Ritual and Bubbling Muck can help you get there if you need a quick boost to your mana pool. Black Market will provide ever increasing mana, as you will be killing off a lot of creatures. Caged Sun,Gilded Lotus, Sol Ring, and Everflowing Chalice will give you boosts to your mana pool in the form of artifacts, and you can even proliferate the chalice. Cabal Coffers and Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth are your boosting lands.

Board Control

With this deck you won't always be able to dish out a combo right away, so there's lots of board control options to give you time to find a win. -1/-1 counters:Archfiend of Ifnir,Midnight Banshee,Soul Snuffers,Blowfly Infestation,Black Sun's Zenith Destruction:Big Game Hunter,Gorgon Recluse,Crumbling Ashes,Font of Agonies,any of your 8 kill murders... Sacrifice:Butcher of Malakir,Dictate of Erebos Resurrection:Necroskitter,Grave Betrayal

Things to sacrifice

Noosegraf Mob is interesting with Yawgmoth, Thran Physician because proliferating = more tokens to sacrifice. Ophiomancer and Bitterblossom both create consistent tokens, and Call the Bloodline is also another option. Nest of Scarabs creates as you sacrifice. Tenacious Dead can keep coming back if you've got the mana, and From Under the Floorboards works with or without using it's madness cost.

Digging

The most important part of the deck is getting the right cards in your hand. Your tutors include:Demonic Tutor,Diabolic Tutor,Diabolic Revelation, and Increasing Ambition Your card draw includes:card:aslyum visitor,Necropotence, and Phyrexian Arena. You'll also be trying to draw a lot from Yawgmoth, Thran Physician. You also have Shadows of the Past, which can be useful to allow to dig faster and with less life loss.
