The Reaper is the mill, the graveyard, and the sacrifice. He is the answer to all you seek in mono black's vast repertoire of foul play. We will be utilizing the graveyard to fuel the Reaper's ability. We can and we will dump mana into his secondary ability to mill everyone at once. While milling, sacrificing and recurring, the tucked away eldrazi titan should help us recur our entire graveyard to deck if need be, mid to late game, Kozilek, Butcher of Truth. Kozilek and the combination of Mesmeric Orb and Basalt Monolith make having all three an infinite treat that kills and wins the game via the Reaper.

A virtually one card combo lies within Morality Shift. For 7 whole mana we can swap our graveyard and library, causing massive damage via the Reaper, ever reaping. With Kozilek in the deck we can Shift, causing it all to swap and all to immediately go right back--doubling the damage dealt.

The Reaper is great at many things, but what he excels at most is Mindcrank. Cause some damage or life loss and things begin to spiral out of control rather quickly, winning or nearly winning the game with those two cards alone. When coupled with a Mesmeric Orb the game is nigh over considering Kozilek, Butcher of Truth.

This version is built to utilize the commander as much as possible, gaining as much value and momentum as we can. Even if the deck happens to not win it is a very fun and interactive deck to pilot. Overall, no matter how it's built, the Reaper is super fun to play and to see mill mechanics click together with graveyard and hand is a blast.
