This deck is a basic burn type deck, using creatures as disposable shields while you hit opponents over the top. So far I am a bit disappointed in it. I want to increase the recycling rate somehow to make the deck a bit stronger in the endgame. I originally planned on combining Chainer, Nightmare Adept with Chainer, Dementia Master + K'rrik, Son of Yawgmoth but realized the average combined casting cost of the deck was fairly low so the combo wouldn't have saved me much mana, and could cost a ton of life, so I pulled it. It's still in progress, but I think its getting better, any tips for refining and making it a better product is welcome. Ignore the sideboard, its a lot of cards I pulled out but wasn't sure when I removed them.

The majority of the highest impact combos are relatively simple, and with some interchangeable cards allowing for some variety and flexibility.

Chainer, Nightmare Adept + Illusionist's Bracers gives extra triggers to bring back more dead.

Chainer, Nightmare Adept + Flayer of the Hatebound is a foundational combo for this deck, creating a lot of options for other things moving forward. Chainer, Nightmare Adept + Warstorm Surge is an alternative, and also a way to double the effectiveness. Impact Tremors and Electropotence are cheaper cost spells with similar effects that help establish the tempo. Pandemonium is a risky play for the deck due to its equal benefit nature, but with proper usage it will benefit you much more than any other player. Chainer, Nightmare Adept + Flayer of the Hatebound + Gutterbones is a repeatable endgame strategy. I like the potential of Phyrexian Dreadnought + Rakdos, Lord of Riots as a killshot with Flayer or Warstorm Surge in play.

Ancestral Statue + Rakdos, Lord of Riots + Warstorm Surge leads to an infinite combo, and warstorm surge can be subbed out for Impact Tremors or the other enter the battlefield enchantments.

Kederekt Parasite + Xantcha, Sleeper Agent or Kederekt Parasite + Spiteful Visions are quick combos that open up your draw, and also dish out small amounts of damage to opponents looking to speed up theirs.

Squee, Goblin Nabob can provide you with 1 free cast from your graveyard per turn, as he returns to hand each upkeep.
