Wincons: I'm running Mike + Trike for obvious reasons. There's a reason this combo is so universal in Black decks.

Melira has a few combos using her and Rendclaw Trow. With her, the Trow, and a free sacrifice outlet, we have infinite sacrifice triggers. It's important to note that we can get these two cards as well as Viscera Seer with Protean Hulk. Zulaport Cutthroat and Blood Artist are great ways to just drain out our opponents, and if we happen to have an Altar of Dementia we can mill our opponents. This combo is great if we draw into Protean Hulk or one of the other "accessories" to the combo. Why Rendclaw Trow? It's the cheapest creature with persist we can run. Any additional effects aren't neccessary, so we don't need to worry about losing the value. It's also able to come out a turn before Meren, so worst case scenario, we are able to get 2 death triggers off of it.

The rest of the deck is pretty self-explanatory. Mostly just ramp, removal, and a little bit of stax.
