Welcome to my build in process for Obzedat, Ghost Council! I run both a Mikaeus, the Unhallowed and a Roon of the Hidden Realm edh deck, they're fun and all but I wanted something a little more interesting. This is it. It combines the removal and strong centralized theme on death of mikeaus, the unhallowed while having all the fun interactions of Roon of the Hidden Realm.

Combos

A few combos to spread hate where ever you go.

Exquisite Blood + Sanguine Bond or Vizkopa Guildmage is an instant win. If you are into that stuff, but I'll only pull this off if the game has been to long.

Skullclamp + Bloodghast + Dictate of Erebos + Grave Betrayal will have everyone dying and everyone mad. Steal all their creatures, and make an army of your own just for kicks. This also works with Reassembling Skeleton.

I'm think of adding Skullcrank to win by milling, but I feel as if it is more of a win more card that won't benefit me in the long run.

Removal -

Unmake, Utter End, Path to Exile, Swords to Plowshares , Oblivion Ring, Doom Blade, and Orzhov Charm , and Return to Dust wrap up our spot removal package. They work wonders but I think I might switch Doom Blade for Go for the Throat as black is big in our play group. Either way it's good coverage over all stuff your opponent could throw at you. Also Afterlife which is better than expected.

Mass removal-

Wrath of God, Merciless Eviction, Tragic Arrogance, and more or less Massacre Wurm. I feel like I need more, but I have plenty of board control and cards to protect myself so I also feel like it might be a little cloggy.

Protective spells -

Ghostly Prison, Norn's Annex, Windborn Muse, and Teysa, Envoy of Ghosts. Tax them so hard that you'll be center of attention.

Dictate of Erebos and Martyr's Bond, these cards will make an opponent think twice before killing something of yours due to careful politics.

Witchbane Orb and Grand Abolisher help protect Obzedat, Ghost Council while he is on the field for a short while.

Win conditions -

Felidar Sovereign - Enough said.

Divinity of Pride, Massacre Wurm, Obzedat, Ghost Council + Silverblade Paladin , Ashen Rider, Angel of Despair, or Rune-Scarred Demon - These are the beaters of the deck just in case where someone is able to counter our strategy. They should be all low on life so only a few attacks would do the trick.

Obzedat, Ghost Council + Silverblade Paladin - Win by commander damage, because a 5/5 with double strike and haste is no laughing matter.

Exquisite Blood + Sanguine Bond - Self explanatory.

Tutors

Rune-Scarred Demon, Increasing Ambition, and Diabolic Tutor - Usually used to grab a combo piece but in rare occasions can grab something else like a mass removal spell for politics or a big guy to help me gain board presence.

Thank you! Please upvote and leave advice, it would be much appreciated. Keep all suggestions to a reasonable price but please tell me how to make this deck better because it is a little cloggy as of now. I would also like feedback on if I switch commanders to the original Council as when I do play Obzedat I usually want to board wipe while he is on the field, but I also like the bigger body and bigger drain. Feedback?
