Decently straight forward control/combo strategy.

Combo with Splinter Twin /Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker + Zealous Conscripts /Deceiver Exarch creating infinite tokens with haste and killing your opponents with combat damage.

Usually the most mana efficient way to do this combo is to cast Buried Alive + one of your reanimate spells. Buried Alive's three creatures should be Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker, Zealous Conscripts/Deceiver Exarch and Phyrexian Delver. Once these three creatures are in your graveyard cast a reanimate spell on Phyrexian Delver, Phyrexian Delver will enter and trigger to get Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker into play, Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker will then use his tap ability onto Phyrexian Delver creating a token, the token will finally reanimate Zealous Conscripts/Deceiver Exarch and allow you to create infinite tokens once Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker is untapped. Just make sure you have the required life total to not die you your own Phyrexian Delver triggers!

Deadeye Navigator + Dockside Extortionist can create infinite mana producing treasures. You may use these treasures and Deadeye Navigator flicker your commander Nicol Bolas, the Ravager   as many times as you need. This combo allows you to force all of your opponents to discard their entire hands + leaving you with infinite mana and a large Nicol Bolas, the Ravager   planeswalker in play.

Imperial Recruiter + Sneak Attack is another two card combo if you have the necessary red mana to pull it off. Cast Sneak Attack, then activate the 4 mana enchantment to put an Imperial Recruiter into play. Imperial Recruiter will search the library for Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker and putting it into your hand, activate Sneak Attack again and put Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker into play, copy Imperial Recruiter with Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker's tap ability to create a copy. The copy you made of Imperial Recruiter will finally search your library for Deceiver Exarch which can finish off the infinite combo with once last activation of Sneak Attack. This combo is a good way to get around graveyard hate cards like Leyline of the Void or Rest in Peace which are stopping you from doing your Buried Alive combo.

Depending on your playgroup you may want to change up cards in the deck and there are quite a few flex spots you can use to add new cards. In my opinion the most obvious flex spots include...

Mindbreak Trap

Pyroblast

Notion Thief

Nihil Spellbomb

Dack Fayden

Good luck!
