As soon as I saw Harmless Offering I knew I had to play it. The obvious combo was with Demonic Pack. I find they work best together in a Mardu (RBW) control shell, which lets you play Nahiri, who's -2 is the only non-counterable way to get rid of a deadly Demonic Pact.

The first and most obvious win condition is giving you opponent a Demonic Pact with Harmless Offering when it only has the "You lose the game" option left. Surprisingly enough though, the deck is more than capable of winning with the use of Chandra, Flamecaller. If you control their board and hand, Chandra will do fatal damage rather quickly. Don't underestimate the damage from Goblin Dark-Dwellers either. If you're leaving them with no (or one creatures), 4 damage a turn adds up quickly. This together with the occasional -4 from Demonic Pact will often put them under 13 life, which means you can finish them with a Nahiri ult into Emrakul.

The sideboard is pretty standard with hand control/discard against control (Transgress the Mind is very good vs zombies too. exile is a thing), and removal and sweepers against creatures. For grindy match-ups, don't be afraid to bring in Emrakul. Either use her to deal a huge chunk of damage off of Nahiri's ultimate, or just hard cast her.

Oath of chandra and Lili are good vs any deck running Dromoka's Command. Aside from protecting your Demonic Pact, they also generate surprising value with the walkers.
