Ayara, First of Locthwain

Our aim is to either use combos to drain our opponents to death or we can make a boat load of tokens and use them to take our opponent's life down with Blood Arist or Zulaport Cutthroat.

---

Bolas's Citadel + Mortuary + a sac outlet + a 1 cmc creature + a drain effect = infinite drain & infinite death/ETB triggers.

Gravecrawler + Phyrexian Altar + a zombie + drain effect = infinite drains & infinite death/ETB triggers.

Thornbite Staff + Priest of Gix + Mortuary + Ayara, First of Locthwain = infinite black mana.

Sac your Priest to Ayara and stack it so that you draw the card after Priest is already on top. Cast him with the mana he generated, rinse and repeat.

Nim Deathmantle + Ashnod's Altar + Grave Titan = infinite death/ETB triggers & infinite tokens.

This works with any creature that enters with more than 1 token.

Ayara, First of Locthwain + Plague of Vermin + you have the highest life total = your opponents are drained out of the game.

Just pay the highest life total out of all your opponents. You'll instantly gain it back when the rats enter and your opponents will be drained out of the game.

Gray Merchant of Asphodel + Mortuary + Bolas's Citadel + a sac outlet + devotion to black of 5+ = infinite drain & life (if devotion is 6+) & death triggers.

---

Any of the above infinite drain/death trigger effects can include Dark Prophecy, Grim Haruspex or Liliana, Dreadhorde General for unlimited card draw too. Just make sure you're gaining more/just as much life as you're losing with Dark Prophecy.

A card of note, and a little bit of a pet card of mine, is Alhammarret's Archive. We gain life and draw cards in this deck so there's no better place for it.
