--- Gameplan ---

Aggro out a combo win using our commander cheating them from grave. We will get them into the grave using tutors to hand, tutors to grave, and some discard pieces. Best wincon is a worldgorger lifeloss combo with Grim Guardian, Gray Merchant of Asphodel, Underworld Coinsmith (using the infinite mana worldgorger creates)

If you are desperate, you can get rid of your opponents' hands and creatures with Thoughtrender Lamia and Doomwake Giant + Worldgorger :)

My favorite (secret) combo win in this deck is mirror entity + Liliana's Contract + 3 other creatures for a sneaky upkeep win :D This is hilarious and not too hard to pull off with all the tutors in the deck. This can even be done at instant speed if you flash in necromancy to reanimate mirror entity on upkeep, but now we're talking about Magical Christmas land.

Another secret combo set is paying life around Font of Agonies. There are a lot of ways to pay life in this deck, but most of them are in the mana base (fetches, shocks, MH1 pain-lands). 1 drop enchantments are useful fodder for activating our commander, but if you can get ways to pay life, this enchantment can be efficient and repeatable spot removal.

--- Play pattern ---

1. ramp + tutor + fill grave + play protection and stax pieces (Aura of Silence, Blind Obedience, etc)

2. Get some of the following into grave: captive audience, overwhelming splendor, worldgorger dragon, Gravebreaker Lamia, animate dead etc. (Gravebreaker Lamia is one of the better ways of setting up combos because we can reanimate it from grave as early as turn 4 with our commander, leading to an entomb-effect each turn with our commander sacrificing and reanimating Gravebreaker Lamia. Oriq Loremage is another, less synergistic way of doing this.)

3. Using our commander and other enchantment reanimation spells, attempt a combo line for the win!

In my gold-fishing, it looks like I can get a infinite combo win on turn 6 fairly consistently. A near-perfect hand can do it on turn 4. This is not a cEDH deck, just one of my newest combo decks that is super fun to play :D
