Man oh man... 6 months later, and I feel I’m at the crux of optimizing this list.

Current Win Cons:

A) Bolas’s Citadel + Sensei’s Diving Top + Aetherflux Reservoir: made all possible by the amazing Insidious Dream

B) Dualcaster Mage + Twinflame or Heat Shimmer: Individually, the Dualcaster Mage acts as a niche Fork effect accessible from my Graveyard; & the copy sorceries are extra copies of ETB triggers I like to abuse (i.e. Dockside Extortionist or Sidisi, Undead Vizier). However, both cards together are an infinite mages coming at my opponents faces.

C) Necrotic Ooze + Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker + Mogg Fanatic: Due to Chainer providing a discard outlet plus haste from any zone that isn’t my hand, this easy to fetch combo (by way of Buried Alive) can instantly eliminate all opponents by the ability of Necrotic Ooze.

D) Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker + Zealous Conscripts: We all know (I hope) how this works.

E) Underworld Breach + Lion’s Eye Diamond + Wheel of Fortune: This is an avenue I’m currently working on figuring out. Together, this set of cards can easily fill my graveyard for any mentioned combo within this deck of mine. But over time I’ll update them once I have some more concise lines of play.

F) Animate Dead/Dance of the Dead/Necromancy + Worldgorger Dragon: The infamous Rakdos Combo!!! Though it’s easy to stop, and there are some conditions that must be met... it’s the backbone of this deck, & my number #1 faint.

G) K’rrk, Son of Yawgmoth + Chainer, Dementia Master + Grey Merchant of Asphodel + Viscera Seer: The most convoluted combination of cards that I’ve compiled that can win the game; however, with enough life, GG.
