Rats.. lots of rats...

Infinite rats with the general + Thornbite Staff + any two rats (or one that you can recur)

Infinite rats + Ashnod's Altar/Phyrexian Altar + Umbral Mantle = infinite power/toughness to the general.

Combos out using Exsanguinate + Plague of Vermin + Ashnod's Altar/Phyrexian Altar. (Usually how the deck wins)

Infinite mana using Sword of the Paruns/Umbral Mantle and Magus of the Coffers.

Shutdown (not infinite) combo Chittering Rats + Chainer, Dementia Master + any sac outlet = they spend the rest of the game drawing the same card over and over again. (much crazier with Mikaeus, the Unhallowed on the field)

Black Market is great with any sac outlet.

The black mana ramp just plain stacks nicely, not to mention most of it only benefits me...

Infinite mana + Drana, Kalastria Bloodchief = kill all (targetable) enemy creatures Drana has infinite power.

This is the current version of the deck as I'm actually running it. I don't have the snow-covered lands yet, but otherwise it's basically identical. I'm still working through whether Door of Destinies and Coat of Arms belong here or not. For the most part I'm hitting infinite (or might as well be infinite) rats/combos and the power of each rat is insignificant. I get a LOT of mana usually, so the high-cost and x cost things seem pretty warranted.
