Sac things, bring 'em back and sac em again... That's pretty much it.

This is a mono-black control deck looking to keep opponents' boards clear using the Fleshbag package (i.e. good 'ol Fleshbag Marauder himself, Merciless Executioner , and Plaguecrafter ) and sweepers such as Mutilate , Toxic Deluge , Decree of Pain , and Damnation if you can afford it. Once it's mid to late game, you want to search out big-mana-makers such as Crypt Ghast , Nirkana Revenant , Caged Sun , and of course Cabal Coffers and Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth . Once those have been found it's a matter of using Chainer, Dementia Master , tutors, sac outlets, and a little lifegain and draw to find your win conditions as you get value from sending creatures to the graveyard and bringing them back. The deck usually ends up getting a win through some kind of drain effect such as Gray Merchant of Asphodel , Kokusho, the Evening Star , Exsanguinate , or Torment of Hailfire .

Many of the cards are tech choices specific to the meta I play in and can be switched out and tinkered with in order to fit the situation of each player. This deck isn't optimized to be super staxy or oppressive, and there's definitely ways to make it faster and a little bit heavier on the lock-down, but I wasn't going for that kind of feel. Whatever it is you're doing with him though, Chainer, Dementia Master is a house that results in awesome sacrifice and reanimation gameplay!

WARNING!! IF YOU DON'T APPROVE OF INFINITE COMBOS TURN BACK NOW... lol

There's also the option of going infinite with Mikaeus, the Unhallowed + Triskelion (the 'ol Mike and Trike!). This is easily searched up with all the tutors such as Demonic Tutor , Sidisi, Undead Vizier , Buried Alive , etc. Razaketh, the Foulblooded with Abhorrent Overlord is sometimes just an insta win as you can search up any combo pieces you're missing. Then just throw Mike and his little Trike out there from and let them do their thing. Even better is getting them to the graveyard early on and using Chainer, Dementia Master or a sweet little Victimize set up to cheat them out early and let your opponents' nightmares come true!
