Work in progress, trying to see if -1/-1 counter tactic is viable.

The principal board clearing mechanisms are Atraxa, Praetors' Voice plus Midnight Banshee, Black Sun's Zenith, Carnifex Demon, or Contagion Engine. Basically, you get a blanket of -1/-1 counters on all of your opponent's creatures, then Atraxa Proliferates them to death. The other creatures with Wither are the backup plan.

Win con #1: Large X spells. Debt to the Deathless and Exsanguinate are meant to be used with Crypt Ghast &/or a Liliana of the Dark Realms emblem in play. The storage lands can be used as an excessive mana backup plan, since Atraxa will place more counters on them every turn.

Win con #2: Turn creatures sideways. This is the reason for the Zombie tribal.

Win con #3: A decent creature board state plus Cyclonic Rift.
