Basic strategy is setting up a sacrifice engine and creating value through it.

To achieve that you have ramp through Smothering Tithe, Black Market, Pitiless Plunderer, several Mana Rocks, lands like Cabal Coffers and of course by sacrifices with cards like Phyrexian Altar or Pawn of Ulamog and Priest of Forgotten Gods. You also have alot of card draw, three ways to tutor and alot of Graveyard returnal to get your combo pieces. However most of your value effects are conditional as you need to be able to sacrifice/have your creatures die to get them.

It can win bei either tick damage or by mass tokens. Also you can easily go infinite with Darkest Hour + Teysa, Orzhov Scion . However you can easily remove this combo by removing Darkest Hour, the deck also works really well without it. If you want a treasure win condition you can add Revel in Riches; probably makes the Deck strictly better but might be a bit lame.

Big problems are graveyard removals and exile effects when you dont have a sacrifice outlet ready. Cards like Pull from Eternity and removal spells for the graveyard hate cards should help. Also as of now, the deck has no way of land destruction like Strip Mine. which you should probably include depending on your playgroup as some lands are a big problem for this deck. As soon as I have these cards included, I will update the deck list accordingly.
