So, Grimgrin, Corpse-Born was my first commander and I tried to run him as tribal zombies. I liked it but it couldn't hold up against some of the stronger decks my friends played. I got particularly frustrated playing against a combo Oona, Queen of the Fae. So I went "I CAN COMBO BETTER B*!@$!!". And thus this deck was born.

The main combos involve having Rooftop Storm on the field, obviously. These following combos work with it on the field.

Rooftop Storm + Gravecrawler or Risen Executioner is the base for several combos in the deck.

Add the commander Grimgrin, Corpse-Born = massive creature.

Add Vengeful Dead, Diregraf Captain, Blood Artist, Zulaport Cutthroat or Vela the Night-Clad = infinite damage/ life loss. For this one you need a sac outlet to use it. Obviously, you have easy access to the commander for that. If he is unavailable there are a few artifacts in the deck that let you do it. Using Ashnods alter also gives you colorless mana, while adding Phyrexian Alter gives you colored mana.

Add Phyrexian Alter + Pontiff of Blight = Infinite Damage

Add Altar of the Brood and a sac outlet = infinite mill

Add Diregraf Colossus = infinite 2/2 zombie tokens

Add Bitter Ordeal = infinite exile mill

Add Tendrils of Agony = infinite life loss and life gain

Add Alter of dementia = infinite mill

Having Cloudstone Curio and Rooftop Storm is also fun, especially when you have zombies with fun ETB effects like Grave Defiler, Gray Merchant of Asphodel, Geralf's Messenger.

So lets say Rooftop Storm gets removed or countered. Never fear, Codex Shredder and Academy Ruins are here to save the day. Even if that fails, Gravecrawler works with Phyrexian Alter to trigger the combos.

There are also three combos completely independent of Rooftop.

Of course Mikaeus, the Unhallowed and Triskelion for infinite damage and/or boardwipe

Then there is Mindcrank + Bloodchief Ascension or Duskmantle Guildmage for mill and damage

And last, Ashnod's Altar + Grave Titan + Nim Deathmantle for infinite 2/2 zombie tokens and infinite colorless mana

The rest of the deck is card draw, tutors, mana rocks, and a bit of utility and protection.

Any advice is welcome, and please correct me if I am wrong about how any of the combo cards interact.
