An EDH deck I am building featuring Obzedat, Ghost Council and crazy life-gain shenanigans without getting too incredibly expensive.

Darn near everything combos with something else, but here are the big important or complicated ones:

Combos:

One-hit KO: Sanguine Bond + Exquisite Blood

Tutoring: Diabolic Tutor / Increasing Ambition -> Diabolic Revelation -> Elixir of Immortality + DT/IA -> Diabolic Revelation

Mana: Cabal Coffers + Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth + Crypt Ghast + Nirkana Revenant + Magus of the Coffers + Liliana of the Dark Realms's Emblem

Draw: Reassembling Skeleton / Bloodghast + Skullclamp + Harvester of Souls with Phyrexian Arena

The "Everybody Hates You Forever" combo: Reassembling Skeleton + Skullclamp + Grave Pact + Grave Betrayal ( + Bloodchief Ascension + Sangromancer if you want the additional life gain/loss combo)

Kill the skeleton with Skullclamp, Grave Pact triggers and everyone sacs a creature, Grave Betrayal triggers and those creatures become yours. If Bloodchief Ascension & Sangromancer are out, they trigger and you gain life and your opponents lose life. Pay 1B to bring the Skeleton back. Attach Skullclamp for 1. Repeat as often as possible. Everybody hates you now.
