This is a fast and destructive combo list helmed by the greatest black combo general ever printed: Sidisi, Undead Vizier. The left handed path reaps dark rewards, and there are many ways to attain victory.

The three main combos are as follows:

Mikaeus the unhallowed + Triskelion: The classic. Infinite damage to all opponents off of 2 creatures. The only problem with this is that many players have seen it a hundred times, and good EDH players are often prepared for this. However, if no-one at the table has a way to deal with it at instant speed, this combo will end the game the second it hits the board.

Necrotic ooze + phyrexian devourer + triskelion: This is the fastest combo that this deck runs. It's easily enabled on turn two or three with Buried Alive, provided you have a mana accelerator and a reanimate spell in hand. The problem with this is that it's extremely vulnerable to graveyard hate, which can be hard to deal with in black.

Sanguine bond + exquisite blood: This is another immediate kill, but the problem with this combo is that you need a way to deal damage out to opponents. Exsanguinate and profane command can trigger the combo, as well as combat damage (but we rarely actually attack with this deck. The benefit to this is that it doesn't involve using the graveyard, which makes it a good backup plan if the triskelion shenanigans go south.

If these three combos get shut down, we still have plenty of backup plans!

Doomsday: This is basically a one card win in the deck. It requires some gas to get going, so it should only be relied on if the other combos get neutered. We want to start the pile with either infernal contract or ad nauseam to draw out the rest of the pile, which from there will include an infinite mana combo, exsanguinate, and imp's mischief (in case anyone tries to break our glass cannon).

Dark Depths: This card can combo with Thespian's stage or vampire hexmage to generate Marit Lage very early. This is a good combo to use against colourless and ramp decks, as Marit can easily snack on any of the eldrazi titans, or omnath (provided he hasnt gotten too big). Plus beating face with the biggest, baddest necromancer ever printed is just so satisfying!

Infinite mana combos:

Rings of brightearth + basalt monolith: This is the main infinite mana combo that will allow us to exsanguinate the table for lethal when stacked up with doomsday. Easy peasy, and only 2 cards.

Workhorse + mikaeus the unhallowed + heartless summoning: This is the backup combo for the doomsday stack since it requires 3 cards to go off and costs a bit more mana. You can still fit it in, but it'll edge out imp's mischief from the slot. However, if you already have one combo piece in hand or on the board, it's perfectly fine to use this combo in place.
