You may recognized, that there is no card in the deck below 4 CMC. The reason why this deck is bulit in this way, is that this is a combo deck with that purpose to win the game within a single turn when the time comes...

Let me show you how:

The receipt is easy: 1. Summon Demonlord Belzenlok to the Battlefield, 2. prevent the damage he causes to you, 3. put your entire Library to your hand, 4. make 50+ Mana and finally win the game.

Let's see step by step:

1. Summon Demonlord Belzenlok to the Battlefield: You should wait until you have 11 Mana on the Battlefield, because you need to cast Skirge Familiar to perform Step 4.
2. Prevent the damage he causes to you: There are some ways to achieve this: Glacial Chasm: It prevents all damage caused by the Demonlord to you. Whip of Erebos: It grants Lifelink to all of your creatures including your commander. So he deals damage to you then heals you.
   Pariah's Shield: Damage is redirected from you to the creature wearing the shield. Platinum Angel: The riskiest way. She does not absorb damage, but let you live when your life is reduced to 0.
3. Put your entire Library to your hand: This is automatic, since all spells are above 3 CMC. Lands will be exiled.
4. Make 50+ Mana and finally win the game: Cast Skirge Familiar and discard almost all cards in your hand making 50+ mana. Leave only combo pieces in your hand and Inverter of Truth. He is really useful, since he can revert your Graveyard into your Library, so if anything goes wrongly he can help you out.

In the current form the winning combo is sacrificing Kokusho, the Evening Star and Gray Merchant of Asphodel with Dimir House Guard and bringing them back as much as you can with Strands of Night or Chainer, Dementia Master. For safety sake there is a Necrotic Ooze in the deck to re-use the ability of a killed creature. I know it is difficult, but you will have all cards in hand so you can use every combo pieces in the same time. It does not matter if your opponents could eliminate a combo piece, there is always an alternative solution to bring the card back or to use its ability from the Graveyard.

As you can see the deck has 11 Tutors, in order to find Mana generators as soon as possible to have 11 mana quickly and cards to perform Step 2. I know that the combo has so many cards, but since your entire Library will be in your hand within a single turn this does not mean a problem. On the other hand this is a deck for multiplayer game, because you can hide in a multiplayer game better than in case of a duel. Additionally do not forget you can win only once with the Demonlord, because next time your opponents will not give you time to achieve victory.

Additionaly the deck has numerous creature removal spells to protect yourself and to gain some time to find the most important Combo pieces.

One last thing worth to mention is that thanks for Belzenlok oldschool cards like Chill to the Bone can be used again, since cheaper creature removal spells do not fit into this deck.

Wish you good luck for this deck, enjoy it!
