9- Combos:

Exquisite Blood + Sanguine Bond for obvious reasons

Chainer, Dementia Master + Rings of Brighthearth or Illusionist's Bracers to copy his ability w/out life loss

Chainer, Dementia Master + Gray Merchant of Asphodel returning him to the battlefield multiple times is beautiful

Chainer, Dementia Master + Sidisi, Undead Vizier who doesn't want a tutor on a stick? (also you can Exploit Sidisi to himself...)

Chainer, Dementia Master + Xiahou Dun, the One-Eyed for any black card that's not a creature

Crucible of Worlds + Buried Ruin for any artifact while they protect each other

Butcher of Malakir or Dictate of Erebos or Grave Pact + any sac device to clear the field

Butcher of Malakir or Dictate of Erebos or Grave Pact + Grave Betrayal or It That Betrays to get the newly cleared field on your side

Blanket of Night or Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth + Filth to skip all blockers with Swampwalk

Corpse Connoisseur or Buried Alive or Entomb + Filth to speed up getting Swampwalk

Expedition Map + Cabal Coffers or Cabal Stronghold or Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth depending on what you need

Blanket of Night or Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth + Cabal Coffers & Crypt Ghast & Magus of the Coffers & Nirkana Revenant for mana ramping

Cabal Coffers + Thespian's Stage or Vesuva for mana ramping

I have all of the cards, and suggestions are very welcome.
