ORZHOV FARM

A competitive approach to the orzhov duo. Its probably not cedh, but can be very powerful in a below S-tier pod. Krav and Regna are quite unusual and people don't really know (or care) how they work. 11 total cmc is super high and doesn't sound competitive at all, but Krav has a neat trick under his demon sleeves.

Lion's Eye Diamond + Auriok Salvagers = infinite mana. That means you can keep casting Krav, the Unredeemed from the command zone, sac him for his own ability (making him return to the command zone) to draw a card and gain life, infinite times. After drawing your entire deck, cast Silence or Grand Abolisher and repeat the Krav combo, but now targeting your opponents, making them draw their entire deck. Yey! Yes, Krav's ability can target a player (which sounds pretty cool in 2HG or BattleBond draft). This is the best wincon in the deck and can go off as soon as turn 1 (if you can play both Lion's Eye Diamond and Auriok Salvagers abusing mana rocks like mana crypt, mox, etc you are good to go).

Bolas's Citadel + Sensei's Divining Top + Aetherflux Reservoir allows you to draw your entire deck while gaining almost infinite life from the reservoir. Cards that tutors to the top are specially nice with the citadel. This combo comes ocasionally, mostly because all 3 cards are very strong on their own and should be played even without the other 2. Krav and Regna also have this neat interaction where you can search for one when you cast the other (Partner with ability). Of course you won't find either of your commanders in the deck, but you can abuse this effect to shuffle the deck and take another chance at the top card of the deck if you get land stuck with the citadel in play.

Ad Nauseam + Angel's Grace draws your entire deck, so you can get those yummy combo pieces in hand. Playing them after shouldn't be hard, as there are a lot of ways to generate more mana once you have all your cards in hand (0 cmc mana rocks into Grim Monolith,Sol Ring, Dark Ritual, etc).

Contamination + Bitterblossom/Ophiomancer locks the board out of non-black mana, which gives you more time to find the combo pieces.

Mindslicer can be sac'ed to Krav so everyone discard their hands first, then you get to draw from the ability. Sadistic Hypnotist can protect your combo by making the dangerous player discard their counterspell/removal, and can also be tutored with Recruiter of the Guard, but I often find it to be too expensive (5 cmc) to be viable.

Scheming Symmetry is in the deck as a low budget Imperial Seal alternative. Opposition Agent makes it insane tho.

Silence, Grand Abolisher and Lapse of Certainty are in deck mainly to protect the combo, although they can be used offensively (Silence and Lapse can prevent an opponent from getting their combo working for a turn, while the grand abolisher can protect a power play like getting rid of a problematic permanent). Imp's Mischief is in the maybeboard for the same reason, so if you play group has a lot of blue, I'd consider it in the main deck.

Low cmc mana rocks play a huge role into making this deck competitive. Generating a lot of mana early is key to making the deck work. Both Krav and Regna are high cmc, so keep them for the right time. I usually cast Regna first, so she can generate some tokens before Krav comes in and eat them. Regna, the Redeemer can make a ton of tokens with a life gain engine in play (eg. Soul Warden), which then can be converted into cards through Krav's ability. If your combo pieces get exiled, win is still possible through pure card advantage having both commanders in play. Just dont forget to keep some mana up for Krav's ability in case the board gets nuked!
