Synergy

The best part is that it triggers when zombies attack, before blockers are declared. To break it down you draw cards Psychic Corrosion), you discard that many (whatever you want to discard also fun for Archfiend of Ifnir) then you gain that much life Sanguine Bond.

Vengeful Pharaoh is definitely a auto-include in here, sure he goes back to the top of the library but you'll be discarding him soon enough.

Liliana, Untouched By Death + Rooftop Storm to cast all your zombies you cycled out of your graveyard for free.

I've included Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre and Library of Leng to make sure I don't deck myself.

Combos

Havengul Lich + Ashnod's Altar + Rooftop Storm + Any other zombie that dies or enters well.

That's it, I'm limiting myself to one infinite combo cause I abuse it way too much.
