---

The way the deck is set to work is by enchanting a handful of your opponents creatures with cards like Binding Agony or Treacherous Link, putting creatures you control Spitemare, Boros Reckoner, Toralf, God of Fury   on the battlefield, and then resolving some ridiculous board wipe like Star of Extinction or Chain Reaction. The goal is to ultimately use that massive creature-damage spell to blast opponents away as well.

Ghen is set as the commander in order to make sure that when (when, not if) your redirection enchantments get blown up, you can re-attach them. There are a handful of 'sac fodder' targets for this goal: Cessation, Glistening Oil, Spirit Loop. Additionally, Some of the low cost enchantments Land Tax, Curse of Opulence, Seal of Cleansing, Soul Snare Treacherous Blessing, Demonic Pact Provide value or interaction (even threat of interaction can be very, very good) early game, but can be cycled out to put your combo in place when you're ready to blow everything up.

Another combo to note is Stuffy Doll or Brash Taunter with Guilty Conscience. With the enchantment, Stuffy doll will kill one player and Brash Taunter will kill everyone. Use the Stuffy Doll to 'hold a knife' to someone and force them to attack/remove other players since the combo can be done at instant speed by simply tapping the stuffy doll to start the loop.

Coalhauler Swine and Repercussion are All-stars in the deck, if little tricky to manage. Be careful that the "Each Player" clause in their abilities don't end the game in a draw. Look to use cards like Pariah, Spirit Loop, or Solitary Confinement To either redirect, prevent, or outgain the damage.

Volcano Hellion in combination with any redirection effect is another way to remove a player. Since you can choose a value, any player with a life total lower than yours is up for removal. If you have Pariah, or Soul Link out pick an arbitrarily large number and anyone is up for elimination.
