This is made to be a turbo-naus in Golgari. There is a good amount of removal to keep opponents behind in mana and creatures. Valentin is a cheap guaranteed creature to sac or kill with commander damage. Hatred is a solid surprise one-shot and even better if you can sneak in Hunter's Insight. If a 10 power creature gets through, Tainted Strike can also be a surprise kill. Chain of Smog + Witherbloom Apprentice targeting yourself is the most efficient combo win-con. Another two card win-con is Psychosis Crawler + Peer into the Abyss (or Necrologia at end step) though it's much more mana intensive. Dina, Soul Steeper + Exquisite Blood is the next best combo win-con. Another less efficient combo win-con is Bolas's Citadel + Aetherflux Reservoir + Sensei's Divining Top.
