Intro:

Who's down with O.P.P. (Other Player's Pieces)?

This is 100% not cEDH. This deck is pure fun and will win very little. The object is not to win classically, but to be the most hated at the table, and in that hatred, bask.

Mana

Your commander (Ob Nixilis, Unshackled), most of your BigBaddieDemons, and some of your other cards are very pricey, mana cost wise, so this deck has several ways to help with that. This deck has 35 lands, and 11 additional mana cards which includes a few mana rocks, some instants & enchantments like Cabal Ritual, Black Market, & Bubbling Muck, as well as a few cool creature cards that help with mana. Special shoutouts too: Defiler of Flesh, who lets you use phyrexian mana instead of black mana, and Liliana of the Dark Realms, who's ultimate ability lets you triple the mana produced from swamps. In addition to all these ways to increase mana, you have access to 4 cards that reduce the cost of black spells.

Main Strategy

The goal of this deck is to get out Ob Nixilis, Unshackled (who is mad pricey) and then force your opponent to search their deck and kill them. It's a tricky strategy and doesn't always work great. Allowing your opponent to search their deck will more often then not lead to them beating you or stopping you. In order to avoid this eventuality, you will want the card Opposition Agent, which lets you control your opponents while when they search their library, exile the searched cards, and then play those yourself. There are about 8 tutors in the deck, and 4 draw cards in order to get this combo going. If possible getting out your land destruction (Discussed below), or forced search cards (Maralen of the Mornsong & Varragoth, Bloodsky Sire) will help you use Ob Nixilis to get some kills.

Land Destruction:

One of the fun side mechanics in this deck is land destruction. You only have 3 cards that actively perform land destruction, Demolition Field, Field of Ruin, & Ghost Quarter. The best of which is Field of Ruin. You have several tutors that can search for any card as well as Expedition Map, which is a land specific tutor. The land destroying cards all allow opponents to search their library at the cost of sacrificing the card, except for Field of Ruin, which forces everyone to search their library still at the cost of the card. Crucible of Worlds allows for you play lands from your GY, which will allow you to continue to destroy lands each turn. If, on the off chance, you have Ob Nixilis, Unshackled out, then you can punish your opponent each time you destroy their lands and make them search for new ones.

BigBaddies

Another side mechanic of the deck is demons. Just demons. The deck has 12 fun demons that generally don't help with the main combo in any way. They are meant to stall and look menacing. On the off chance you have 4 demons out and Liliana's Contract you can get that W.

Stall

This deck is not streamlined for any quick win condition and because it needs time to get up to power there are several ways to stall your opponents. Having intimate knowledge of your opponents deck will make all the difference. This deck is ideally meant for playing with friends and not in a competitive setting, because who better to upset than those you love. The deck contains 8 cards that will allow you to search your opponents deck for cards to either destroy or exile them. Cards like Sadistic Sacrament & Jester's Cap allow you to just search your opponents library for any cards, while cards like Infinite Obliteration & Necromentia lets you search for named cards. That is why knowledge of your opponents decks will be extremely helpful. The other stall tactic in this deck is simple destroy cards that either wipe all monsters (Blood Money) or specific targets (Cut Down).
