The Basics

Strong Synergies & End Game

For every turn you can use Sneak Attack + Kokusho, the Evening Star + Phyrexian Reclamation to do 5 damage to each opponent and gain the same amount of life
K'rrik, Son of Yawgmoth allows you to extort every spell with Crypt Ghast allowing you to drain oponents and often net life
Lifelink is so important to be able to abuse Greven's ability, and that is what supplies a lot of your card draw. Life gain engines include:

  1. Exquisite Blood 2. Whip of Erebos 3. Basilisk Collar 4. Loxodon Warhammer 5. Batterskull 6. Crypt Ghast 7. Shadowspear
Beyond saccing creatures there's a couple engines in the deck to be able to abuse loss of life:

Fire Covenant: Removes blockers, and pumps Greven. 16 life allows for an alpha strike.

**K'rrik, Son of Yawgmoth: Paying 2 life for also serves to pump Greven.

Treasonous Ogre: Life for

Necropotence: Life for cards

Bolas's Citadel: Card Advantage at the cost of life

Generic Life Loss: 1. Wall of Blood

The following cards will allow you to get 1 hit kills with Greven, Predator Captain:

Hatred: If you have more life than someone, any creature that gets through can use Hatred to pay X life, and kill them. However the synergy with Greven, Predator Captain is that you can pay half that amount of life due to his passive, OR you can pay 8 life, give him +16/o and kill them with 21 commander damage.

Chandra's Ignition: Any pay life outlet will let you kill everyone with this provided you are not too low.

Fling/Kazuul's Fury  : Lets you take an Alpha strike and potentially kill a second player as well.

Tainted Strike/Temur Battle Rage

Out: Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth, Cabal Coffers, Dark Depths, Mirage Mirror
