This is a mono black combo deck. Pure and simple.The combos include;

Necrotic Ooze + Phyrexian Devourer + Triskelion. With Devourer and Triskelion in the graveyard, Necrotic Ooze has both activated abilities, 0: exile cards from top of deck to put +1/+1 counters on Ooze and 0: remove a +1/+1 to do 1 damage. So exile as many cards as you need to ping opponent to death.

Leyline of the Void + Helm of Obedience: With both on the board, activate helm for 1, since no card goes to graveyard, you never will put 1 card into graveyard, so you exile their entire deck.

Mikaeus, the Unhallowed and Triskelion: With mikaeus, Triskelion has +1/+1 and undying, so it is 2/2 with 3+1/+1 counters, remove 1 counter to do 1 damage to anything, remove the last 2 counters to kill triskelion. Triskelion dies, has undying, so comes back with 4 +1/+1 counters, remove 2 to deal 2 damage to anything, last 2 to kill triskelion, rinse and repeat.

There are also several lockdown strategies in this deck.Contamination, Braids, Cabal Minion, Smokestack, or Infernal Darkness combined with one of the repeating creature generators, Bitterblossom, Grave Titan, and usually Bloodghast can make it very hard for your opponent to do much, while hindering you very little or not at all.

There is also the draw engine of Skullclamp, combined with Bitterblossom or Bloodghast

WIth 11 mana Buried Alive is game over as well. 3 mana for Buried alive, get Necrotic Ooze, Triskelion, and Phyrexian Devourer, then for 4 more mana (7 total) cast Xiahou Dun, the One-Eyed, immediatly sac it to return Necrotic Ooze then for the last 4 mana (11 total, 5 black 6 colorless) cast Nectrotic Ooze and win.
