Creeping in the dark... a mighty call of death and rot.
Its hard to see full combo approaches outside the mighty Sidisi, Undead Vizier or the overestimated Razaketh, the Foulblooded - But, I show to you now how to use a nonglass cannon - full combo deck - Yeah, Chainer enables several comebacks along the game. The deck isnt dead until our life points reach ZERO.
If you like decks that are hard to play with - yeah, dude - this is your deck.
Game Plan
Firstly, all that we need know is: We'll try to combo with Necrotic Ooze!
Like this-> Buried Alive + any reanimation spell!
Keep in mind, other players will try to win too! It's a cEDH game, bro. Our deck lack responses, opposing players will counter themselves and dont know how our deck works properly, use baits, use wipes, use the opennings to win.
This deck have many ways to combo, however some combos demands more setup than anothers. Sometimes, against stax decks the game speed slowdown - we still have pieces to dominate this boardstate, Chainer is a situational card that give us the beloved power of RECURSION!
Combos
They are separated by difficult level:
The easy ones
(They may be really fast, for example, buried alive and a reanimation spell - as a T1 combo)
This combo can works with different sac outlets, but you may need more creatures to maximize carnival of souls eficiency - each loop will demands five mana to cast Living Death over and over again. Opossing creatures can trigger carnival of souls too .
The Very Hard ones "dancing time" (You need Corpse Dance, 3 opponents and several math lessons):
Kokusho, the Evening Star + priest of gix + Phyrexian Delver + Ashnod's Altar
Gray Merchant of Asphodel + priest of gix + Phyrexian Delver + Ashnod's Altar
The Very Hard ones "Chainer's time" (You need Chainer, Dementia Master, 3 opponents and more math lessons):
Corpse Dance + Razaketh, the Foulblooded + Soldevi Adnate
- Yeah! I did it 1 time in my entire life, Soldevi sacs Razaketh to Add 8 mana, reanimate razaketh using Chainer BBB, Razaketh sac Soldevi for TUTOR, Corpse Dance reanimate Soldevi with Haste thats sacs Razaketh again and this loop still running until your life points be entire depleted or you win the game xD.
Over than 20 life points is highly necessary to setup our loops.
The deck have power to deal against grave hate, Cursed Totem, Torpor Orb and Null Rod and another stax/hate pieces - It's hard, but It is possible.
Conclusion
I really love this deck, because it is unique and it can be very oppresive and unpredicable. Stunning Reversal is a great card and I'll study this slot applicability.
I told some combos because its nearly impossible to list all of them, this deck can adapt these combos in different ways or use sinergies with high efficiency.
Look: Rune-Scarred Demon + Sacrifice - a cheap way to reach 7 black mana and I can use Xiahou Dun, the One-Eyed to bring back sacrifice and Chainer, Dementia Master to reanimate both creatures -> BBB - reanimate demon - BBB reanimate Xiahou thats bring back B-sacrifice = SEVEN BLACK MANA LOOP -> look, I can tutor my entire deck (beware with our life points)!
Use the tutors wisely, try to sinergize game moves, because we can reutilize it again, Carnival of Souls is a powerful card in this deck, beware with our life points it is our most valuable resource and have fun destroying your oponnents.
