This deck plays all cards with 4 or more cmc so that Demonlord Belzenlock can draw all the non-lands. It plays things with alternative costs, life gain, and board wipes to try to live through the early game. The win condition is similar to an Ad Nauseam deck.

Demonlord Belzenlock can be cast with 11 mana available for the least interruptible combo. Skirge Familiar allows the player to win the game by providing mana for some combos. It is also important to make sure enough spells have been drawn (3 if you are at 40) to stop Belzenlok from being lethal or there is Glacial Chasm and Whip of Erebos to prevent Belzenlok's damage.

Belzenlock can be cast with no mana left for the quickest kill. Once Belzenlok draws your deck, cast Unmask on yourself to discard phantasmogorian. Then activate phantasmagorian pitching Skirge Familiar, Dread Return, and Dread. Cast Hollow One and Deepwood Legate for free (if no opponent controls a forest, pitch extra cards to Phantasmagorian and delve out a Sibsig Muckdraggers for one more mana or play a Dross Golem if you have enough swamps). Cast Dread Return sacrificing hallow one, Deepwood Legate/Sibsig Muckdraggers/Dross Golem and Demonlord Belzenlok to reanimate Skirge Familiar. Pitch at least 12 cards for mana. Cast Mikaeus, the Unhallowed + Triskellion to win the game. Dread and Living Death provide backup options.

I’m considering this combo from my original list. Belzenlock will draw your spells, then you discard to handsize, keeping Living Death and any other spells that seem helpful (Unmask to remove a counter can help a lot). Dread will shuffle into your deck when discarded. This stops you for milling out. On your next turn, cast Living Death getting back Dimir House Guard, Soul of Innistrad, Pitiless Plunderer, and Abhorrent Overlord (it's a convoluted combo). Use Dimir House Guard to sacrifice Abhorrent Overlord and its tokens for treasure equal to your devotion to black +1 (it has to be at least 13). Then activate Soul of Innistrad to get back Abhorrent Overlord. Cast Abhorrent Overlord and repeat the loop for infinite mana. Then, sacrifice and replay Gray Merchant of Asphodel to drain out your opponents.
