---

My constantly evolving mono-black Chainer deck.

The main strategy is to either discard your own creatures to reanimate (Bog Witch, Abandon Hope), or steal/kill+reanimate your opponents' creatures (Praetor's Grasp, Sepulchral Primordial), or finish off with a (surprise) reanimation combo using Gray Merchant of Asphodel or Kokusho, the Evening Star.

Since this is a Big Black Mana deck, you can also stall it out and cast Exsanguinate. Lots of board wipes and removal to help keep your opponents on their toes until then.
