What can we get away with today?

This is a Mono-Black Deck Starring: The King of Walue

The primary combo is to set up The Recycling Plant, The Big Book of Nothing or Gentle Facial Fondling and any continuous discard engine, Like This One or This One, to lock all of your opponents out of any incremental advantage they might be able to gain.

An end state of this lock would look like each opponent having less that 10 life, with Some Old Guy Breathing Down Their Neck and Sadistic Hypnotoad on your side of the board. as long as your opponents can't draw more than one card per turn (outside of cantrips) they can't really cast spells.

Second to that is to try to acquire a Mana lock. Something like Simon says: make Black Mana with Jack Harkness, Agent Smith, Kenny, Thenardier, Lazarus, Ra's Al Ghul or just a bunch of *Adorable* Kids.

While It's wishful thinking, if, by some miracle, you could actually Ultimate Liliana, Heretical Healer  , say with The Planeswalker Boardwipe, it usually wins you the game on it's own.

If All else fails, Zomboi Beats work too.

Infinite Combos

Bloodchief Ascension + Mindcrank Infinite mill and infinite damage.

Gravecrawler + Ashnod's Altar + Useful Minion, Produces Infinite black mana

Gravecrawler + Phyrexian Altar + Altar of the Brood, Infinite mill

Reassembling Skeleton + Ashnod's Altar + Altar of the Brood + Initiates of the Ebon Hand also causes infinite mill

Value town (Just not Infinite)

Waste Not/The Big Book + One-sided Smallpox Draw some cards and/or make a bunch of Bois

Waste Not/The Big Book + Words of Waste Replace each draw with discard, pay for it with the Waste Not mana, Make some Bois and a bunch of mana, maybe even draw some cards for real as well.

Ill-Gotten Gains returning Unnerve and Vicious Rumors/Liliana's Triumph plus any other card. Each opponent discards their hand, hopes that they might get something back to claw their way onto the table, only for those hopes to be crushed again. Spicy.
