This is a Sacrifice/Tutor deck with over 10 tutors, 14 sacrifice outlets and creatures that combo with ETB effects that are repeated over and over provided the mana and life hold out. Several repeatable combos and I don't have to attack I can just play my style and ramp up my board state. There's infinite mana combos with Thornbite Staff on Soldevi Adnate or Illuminor Szerasthen sacrificing creatures like Hoarding Broodlord or some other high mana cost creature I reanimate with Chainer for {B}{B}{B} and 3 life. And with any other sacrifice fodder I can pay 2 life tutor my deck and cast spells until I run out of life or I find my win con. There are several more combos but that's just one of my favorites. Cards like Abhorrent Overlord looped with ETB triggers can build up blockers for an alternate strategy and I loop Rune-Scarred Demon or Hoarding Broodlord to tutor answers or win-cons then infinite combo.

Under the advice of a friend I removed some of the target cards and went for each or all opponent cards to get around hexproof. Cards such as Zulaport Cutthroat, Demon of Dark Schemes, Massacre Wurm, and Shadowgrange Archfiend get around hexproof and although they are high cost, I can tutor them into the graveyard with Vile Entomber, Entomb, Buried Alive, or Final Parting and then reanimate them with Chainer. And to protect Chainer I have Lightning Greaves, Dark Privilege and Gift of Doom.

I also run card:Vengeful Pharoh in the graveyard for single target removal when I get attacked and if I have Doom Whisperer out to surveil and return Pharoh to the graveyard or discard using a discard outlet.

Suggestions are always welcome I know people tend to hate combo players but I enjoy this deck and I've been putting a lot of work into it to make it my favorite deck.
