Chainer, Dementia Master

So this is my deck that has been through the largest amount of fundamental changes. This originally started out as a Ghoulcaller Gisa deck, transitioned into a Geth, Lord of the Vault deck, took a brief transition into a Maga, Traitor to Mortals deck, and is now a Chainer deck. I really want this deck to be a nice hybrid of aristocrats and reanimator. There are still quite a few pieces it would need before it got there, but it's getting a lot closer.

Gameplan

This deck wants to spend the early game ramping up, and finding an efficient way to self mill. After doing this, it will drop chainer and start to accrue value. With the sheer amount of tutors it has, it's generally pretty easy to hit an Altar of Dementia and start up your engine. Your engine can generally drain enough life to get a win from here.

Combo-ish Engine

Phyrexian Altar , Altar of Dementia , Abhorrent Overlord , and Gray Merchant of Asphodel do some weird stuff together and generally can win you the game. Stuff like that. This deck is janky.
