Grenzo, Dungeon Warden is quite challenging to deal with by either casting Doomsday to win or pulling any one of his multiple combos from the bottom of his Graveyeard.

Buried Alive + Animate DeadWith Buried Alive, fetch Necrotic Ooze, Triskelion, and Phyrexian Devourer. Reanimate the Necrotic Ooze, and at instant speed, you can exile any number of cards from the top of your deck and ping.
Worldgorger Dragon + Animate Dead (or Dance of the dead or Necromancy)When Worldgorger Dragon enters the battlefield, its ability triggers, exiling the Animate Dead. When Animate Dead leaves play, the Worldgorger Dragon also leaves play because Animate Dead leaves play. When the Animate Dead returns to play from the Dragons leave play ability, tap all lands for mana then use it to return the Dragon back into play. Repeat infinitely. Then Cast Grenzo, Dungeon Warden and mill the bottom of your deck until you find Devils Play, and cast that for game. Alternatively, you can use Siege-Gang Commander to repeatedly sacrifice Grenzo until you win.
Worldgorger Dragon + Kiki-jiki, Mirror BreakerWhen Worldgorger Dragon comes into play, respond to his come into play ability by activating Kiki-jiki, Mirror Breaker, making a token of the Dragon. The Dragon token enters, and the token exiles all your permanents, putting the real Worldgorger Dragons leave play trigger on the stack. The Leave play trigger resolves, returning nothing, since the original come into play ability hasnt resolved yet. Then the original Dragons come into play ability resolves, exiling the token, and returning all your permanents to play untapped. Tap all your mana sources and activate Kiki-jiki, Mirror Breaker again when the original Dragons come into play ability goes back onto the stack. You now have infinite mana.
