its not much, but right out of the gate it could put on some pressure
T1: swamp. Tormented Hero
T2: swamp: Boon of Erebos , target Tormented Hero . swing for 4 and an additional 1 for a total of 5 on turn 2. like i said not much. but i feel like it will add pressure on you opponent

Swings for 6 in the same fashion, and you don't lose any life.
Though the mono-black aggro strategy might be a bit more reliable in this situation, based strictly on the mana bases.

Arguably this is synergy vs combo, but that aside. This kind of thing was what the R/B deck that won GP Santiago last November did. It ran the Tormented Hero , Rakdos Cackler and Madcap Skills . It did run more mountains than swamps plus a couple guidlgates in addition to Blood Crypt , but effective is to say the least :) I'm thinking this might be a decent thing still post BNG, especially with Temple of Malice coming in.

I utilize the combo in this:
The Gift of Bountiful Life... makes for a pain in the neck...

Cards that synergize (Vaguely) aren't a combo lol
