A control deck building up to a reanimation prison combo: Yosei, Debtors' Knell and/or Sheoldred, and a sacrifice outlet (Miren, flipped Blood Fast, or Grimgrin). Or Sheoldred and Yosei on the field and the other Yosei in the yard, either way works.

This is based on a deck I ran back during Kamigawa/Ravnica-era Standard, the major differences are mostly in the choice of cards rather than the functionality of the deck. This deck plays real reanimation and slightly more creatures than the original, with fewer counterspells. Also, it actually uses black instead of just technically being UWb because of Knell's hybrid status.

On Gifts Ungiven: If you have one of the three things you need for quick reanimating into the combo (Sheoldred, Yosei, Rites) already in the yard, use Gifts to put the other two in there. If you've got the creatures on the field but you need a sacrifice outlet, that's the reason for Arguel's Blood Fast and Grimgrin--fetch those two and Miren, and your opponent has no option but to give you one.
