A few fun things to do with this deck:

Zur's Weirding, Necropotence, and Venser's Journal combo. This essentially allows you to pay 1 to draw freely, pay 2 to counter everything your opponent draws, have no max hand size, and gain life equal to your hand size.

This helps you feed costs like Zur's Weirding, Phyrexian Reclamation, Glacial Chasm, and Wall of Blood.

Contamination to lock out the opponent's mana.

Megrim and Oppression combo.

Best opening hand: 1 mana, 3 Dark Rituals, Phage the Untouchable. Then attack by turn 2. Effective through the early-mid game.

Stall long enough to trigger Marit Lage's Slumber and/or Dark Depths.

Nevinyrral's Disk & Bojuka Bog combo, and Polymorphist's Jest, Stench of Decay and/or Bojuka Bog combo for board wipes.

Wall of Blood, pay 19 (or however much) life, play Essence Harvest.

Sacrifice Flayer Husk with Grinding Station, milling the opponent of 3, bring Flayer Husk back with Salvaging Station, untapping Grinding Station, sacrifice Flayer Husk again, untapping Salvaging Station, rinse and repeat to mill opponent's library.

Elixir of Immortality to reset any of these.
