First of all, feel free to make your own version and send it to me! I am constantly looking for improvements.

Sideboard -

When playing duel commander swap Sol Ring and Hermit Druid (banned) for Avacyn's Pilgrim and Dark Ritual.

Combo Pieces -

The main core to winning with this deck is to get either Karmic Guide and Saffi Eriksdotter/Reveillark, or Sun Titan and Saffi Eriksdotter with a sacrifice engine.

Sac Engines -

When you the pieces to infinitely sac. you can use one of these.

Carrion Feeder- for one hit lotsa counters

Viscera Seer- for infinite scry to get a different sac engine

Altar of Dementia- mill them out, you win

Killspells -

Path to Exile- exiles things and hits eldrazi

Swords to Plowshares- see above

Shriekmaw- reanimate-able and can be a blocker in necessary

Anguished Unmaking- cheap anything killer

Utter End- same as above but less life loss

Beast Within- probably the best one here IMO takes care of lands when someone's mana screwed.

Wrath of God and Duneblast- the only wipes I have in here

Tutors-

Increasing Ambition- flashback for the rest of the combo

Diabolic Tutor- expensive, but worth

Eladamri's Call- go for needed creature, or go for Rune-Scarred Demon if necessary

Behold the Beyond - behold the combo finder

Buried Alive- similar to that one, but better and gets commander out fast

Jarad's Orders- find the dudes that wombo and getm out (Karmic Guide and Reveillark)

Rune-Scarred Demon - gets you a dude and whatever you want

Traverse the Ulvenwald- ramp or tutor, early late, you get the idea

Sidisi, Undead Vizier- kills that Solemn Simulacrum and gets a card

Reanimation-

Necromancy- for the flashy plays

Animate Dead,Reanimate, and Unburial Rites are pretty generic

Sheoldred, Whispering One- good overall, hate and reanimate

Karmic Guide- doesnt always have to be combo piece, its good overall too

Reveillark and Sun Titan- same as that guy, but slightly worse

Magister of Worth works ever so often, but wrath is fun too

Eternal Witness to get back that Altar of Dementia

THINGS TO NOTE--1) It's always fun to Birthing Pod Karador, Ghost Chieftain into Iona, Shield of Emeria, or go even further into a turn 6 Ulamog, the Ceaseless Hunger

2)Make sure you play kill spells carefully, so you don't lose, but that's kinda easy if you're good at magic.

3)You don't always have to play Karador, Ghost Chieftain to reanimate, but when you do, I recommend casting him for three. (obv)

4)If for some reason you want to copy my deck :D, follow this one rule: If you are absolutely crushing your opponent to the point of mercy rules, kill urself first for the lulz

5)If for any reason someone decides to play a filthy Rest in Peace, throw your Krosan Grip, Reclamation Sage, or Qasali Pridemage at their face. If they both get exiled, scoop, you're done with life.

6)Oh yea, play very strategically when preventing people from interrupting your combo. Make sure you use Mindslicer at the right time to make them sad.

7)Rather than playing Mindslicer to stop the interuptions, try playing him early and sacfrificing him if possible. It shuts down non graveyard decks pretty good. Also, if you discard your Life from the Loam you're set.
