The main combo consists of 3 or 4 cards, depending on which sac outlet you use.

As a prerequisite, you need to have Putrid Goblin and Thran Vigil in play. When Putrid Goblin returns via Persist, the -1/-1 counter on it gets cancelled out by Thran Vigil's +1/+1 counter.

With this infinite sac fodder, we can feed the 2 win conditions:

OR

Undead Augur and Village Rites provide some good draw to help get the combo pieces. Gravecrawler comes in handy as convenient, cheap and repeatable fodder for Village Rites.

Be careful about having Undead Augur on board while perfoming the main combo, as its draw is mandatory and will ping you to death if you don't sacrifice the Augur first.

The rest of the deck is made up of auxiliary cards to have at least some interaction with the opponent's board/hand and can be adapted pretty freely to the decks you're facing.

  • Bone Shards is a strong removal for creatures or planeswalkers of any toughness or mana cost, and quite flexible in its extra cost as you can either sac or discard a card. Pairs very well with Gravecrawler.

  • Tragic Slip just acts as basic removal. Triggering the Morbid condition should be easy enough for this deck.

  • Inquisition of Kozilek is here to provide at least some ability to scout the opponent's hand and deny interaction that might prevent the main combo.

  • Unearth provides a failsafe to return a combo piece from the graveyard for cheap.

Consider the Maybeboard a list of relevant cards you could swap in to make the deck suit your tastes.
