We play the Pervdaddy, because it is like playing mono black on cocaine. The deck makes for fast games where we either win big or die by draining ourselves. Because we give our opponents card draw, we clearly deserve the right to spread some salt in return (and if they think this will be a group hug deck, then let them). Let's jump into it.

There's a fairly straightforward game plan:

1. Get Seizan out early to draw into whatever you need
   
2. Control the board to slow the game down and protect your combo turn
3. Win using one of the combos

Notable synergies/combos:

• Bloodchief Ascension comes online after one turn cycle with Seizan out and Mindcrank then mills each opponent on upkeep
• Peer into the Abyss and Psychosis Crawler typically drain the table
• Professor Onyx and Chain of Smog definitely drain the table (and even if you get stopped, Seizan can refill your hand rather quickly)
• Cards like Underworld Dreams get your opponents low so you can finish them with Exsanguinate or Gray Merchant of Asphodel - or use these cards just to give yourself some life to pay into Krrik or such (more on that below)
• Opposition Agent and Scheming Symmetry let you search an opponent's deck for a win con (and the Symmetry works well with Bolas's Citadel on our end, as does Vampiric Tutor)
• Final Parting is a one card combo with Vilis, Broker of Blood and Reanimate
• K'rrik, Son of Yawgmoth and Vilis synergise super well, letting you use life to go through your library very quickly
• Skirge Familiar absolutely slaps because of all the extra cards you draw every turn with Seizan
• Mono black does not have a lot of ways to protect our combo turn, which is why we play all the Thoughtseize variations as well as Imp's Mischief
• Clearly there are a few pet cards of mine, which are just plain fun (like Head Games, Royal Assassin or Do or Die), that can be replaced with more optimal choices

Feel free to swap in some stax pieces to adjust based on your local meta:

• Trinisphere, Mage Hunter and Oppression work against storm decks
• Lethal Vapors and No Mercy works against creature based decks
• Dauthi Voidwalker is great against graveyard strategies
• Plague Engineer shuts down most tribal/tolen decks like Chatterfang
• Infernal Darkness, Contamination and Defense Grid also help protect your combo turn from interaction
• If you come up against dockside or some flicker decks, swap in Torpor Orb
• If you come up against artifact decks, swap in Karn, the Great Creator
