This a deck that does stuff. Have fun.

---

Combo #1:

-Have Kethis out.

-Use Hermit Druid to mill your entire library.

-When you mill, Dread will shuffle into your library, assuming its in your library and not in your hand or exile, and then it will be the only card in your library.

-Activate Kethis

-Cast Mox Opal, Mox Amber, and Hope of Ghirapur from your graveyard for free.

-Use Mox Amber/Opal to cast a Legendary Creature from your Graveyard, You could go with Lurrus of the Dream-Den if you'd like to cast Lion's Eye Diamond from your graveyard for some extra mana to cast Dosan the Falling Leaf from your graveyard to shut off your opponents spells or something else depending on what you need, but in reality you just need one more creature to sac to dread return.

-Flashback Dread Return targeting Necrotic Ooze, you can sac Hope, Hermit Druid, and Whatever other creature you pulled out with the mox mana.

-Use Skithiryx, the Blight Dragon ability to give ooze haste (you'll need one , youll figure it out)

-Use a mana dork to tap ooze for mana (we just want to tap him to set things up)

-Use Devoted Druid ability to put a -1/-1 counter on ooze and untap it.

-Use Channeler Initiate ability to remove a -1/-1 counter and tap for one mana.

-INFINITE MANOS

-Cast Syr Konrad, the Grim from your graveyard.

-Activate Syr Konrad, the Grim approximately five million times, and as Dread hits your graveyard and shuffles into your library over and over again everyone shall die a terrible death.

---

Combo #2:

-Same setup as first combo, mill your whole library.

-Use Kethis Ability to cast Mox Opal/Amber and Hope, and use Mox Amber/Opal mana to cast Lurrus of the Dream-Den from your graveyard.

-Use Lurrus to cast LED from your graveyard.

-This time Dread Return on Auriok Salvagers

-you are the jeff bezos of mana.

-Do the Syr Konrad thing.

---

Combo #3:

-Heliod, Sun-Crowned and Walking Ballista

¯_(ツ)_/¯

---

Combo #4

-Mikaeus, the Unhallowed and Triskelion

-These dudes CMC's are expensive as balls so I'd just dump em in the yard and reanimate if possible, or if using a self mill line you could make infinite mana with Ooze or Salvagers, Cast Mike from the yard, and get Skelly back with Unburial Rites or something.

"why is necrologia in this deck, that card sucks"

Because it works, I dunno. Necropotence is sick but if we need to discard to reanimate something then we're screwed. Ad Nauseum is sick but the mana curve is a little too high in this deck for that in my opinion. Necrologia is just the safest option. We can Draw a preset amount of cards and not have to worry about dying like Ad Nauz, and then we can discard to handsize without exiling our discard like necropotence does, and then we can dump all our goodies in the graveyard and keep reanimate stuff and other needed cards in our hand.

But it might actually suck I dunno.

---

Just to put it out there, Basalt Monolith and Mesmeric Orb also mills your whole library, if that's what you're trying to do.

I literally haven't even played with this deck yet, I hope it doesn't suck.
