This deck was built around the Gifts Ungiven combo and the Sword of the Meek combo.Basically, it's a control deck based on removals, such as Abrupt Decay and the board wipes. It also has hand control with Inquisition of Kozilek and Raven's Crime. The last one has synergy with Life from the Loam, allowing the player to discard many cards from the opponent.

The Combos:

Gifts Ungiven + Unburial Rites + Elesh Norn, Grand CenobiteThe player can play this combo at turn 4 if he/she have a Birds of Paradise in the field. Pretty strong against some aggros.

Thopter Foundry + Sword of the MeekA infinite army of 1/1 creatures with flying is pretty strong. It's specially stronger if you have Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite.

Raven's Crime + Life from the LoamAllows you to discard quite a lot of cards of your opponent's hand. Very useful against control and slower combo decks.
