Gotta pay the troll toll to get inside this boys h̶o̶l̶e̶ soul.

Sac creatures, draw cards and kill stuff.

Combos:

1. Contamination+Bitterblossom or Dreadhorde Invasion or Ophiomancer or Reassembling Skeleton or Trading Post = all lands produce B

2. Gravecrawler+Phyrexian Altar+zombie in play + Zulaport Cutthroat or Blood Artist or Ayara, First of Locthwain = infinite lifegain and life loss for opponents

3. Phyrexian Altar + Pitiless Plunderer + Reassembling Skeleton + Zulaport Cutthroat or Blood Artist or Ayara, First of Locthwain = infinite lifegain and life loss for opponents

4. Yawgmoth, Thran Physician + Nest of Scarabs + undying creature = infinite card draw (as much life as you can spend). Sac the undying creature put a -1/-1 counter on Yawgmoth, Thran Physician or another creature create a 1/1 scarab, draw a card. Sac the scarab, put a -1/-1 on the returned undying creature and create a 1/1 scarab, draw a card. Repeat

5. Butcher Ghoul + Geralf's Messenger + Yawgmoth, Thran Physician = infinite card draw (as much life as you can spend). Mikaeus, the Unhallowed can also do this as it require undying to activate. Opponents lose 2 life via Geralf's Messenger for every one life you spend

6. Buried Alive Fun thing I discovered when testing builds, you can use Buried Alive to fill your graveyard with recursive creature fodder that come back super easy. Bloodghast + Nether Traitor + Reassembling Skeleton or Gutterbones or Bloodsoaked Champion or Gravecrawler. Buried Alive is also on the CMC curve before Yawgmoth, Thran Physician, setting you up.
