This is an attempt to take existing K'rrik lists and focus more on reanimation. Vilis, Broker of Blood is just perfect with K'rrik and should enable very stormy wins (until you run out of life). But who needs life when they're dead, anyway?

Assembling Combos - Mass Draw

Aside from the obvious necropotence and Bontu for drawing cards, Vilis, Broker of Blood is your primary reanimation target and will draw you 6 cards when casting K'rrik, at which point it becomes a Yawgmoth's Bargain . Most early game tutors will be to attempt and get a vilis into play.

Combo Kills

Without K'rrik out:
Bolas's Citadel + Sensei's Divining Top + Aetherflux Reservoir

With K'rrik out:

With Krrik, you essentially need 1 lifegain piece (Aetherflux or Gray Merchant) and a way of sacrificing/recasting to trigger the cards. Leshrac's Sigil is our 2-card combo with aetherflux that avoids using the graveyard, but requires a storm count of 8 to guarantee you don't die to bouncing and recasting it.

Carrion Feeder + Gravecrawler + Aetherflux Reservoir

Chainer, Dementia Master + Carrion Feeder + Gray Merchant of Asphodel

Aetherflux Reservoir + Leshrac's Sigil

Razaketh, the Foulblooded + Blood Celebrant + Gray Merchant of Asphodel

and several other 4 card ones

Doomsday

While Doomsday is free with K'rrik and is a 1-card combo, try to avoid casting it unless you have a way to crack the pile and have enough life. You'll almost always use God-Eternal Bontu or Bolas's Citadel to crack piles after the first draw, but other options include Ransack the Lab and Sign in Blood .

Primary pile:
- Bolas's Citadel
- Zuran Orb
- Aetherflux Reservoir
- Leshrac's Sigil
- Any 0-cost spell

Zero mana, 39 life pile (puts you to 1 if you cast Krrik and doomsday dropping to 14). HIGH RISK:
- Infernal Contract
- Sacrifice
- Aetherflux Reservoir
- Animate Dead
- Leshrac's Sigil

Razaketh

Razaketh, the Foulblooded does not function as well here as it would in a deck with animate dead loops, however, we have our own tutor loop with Gravecrawler and a zombie out under k'rrik (or just by paying 1 black mana per tutor if you grab a zombie, with required to start the chain):

- sacrifice any creature for gravecrawler, cast crawler (4 life)
- recast crawler and sacrifice to razaketh for carrion feeder (8 life)
- cast carrion, cast crawler, sac crawler for Culling the Weak (14 life)
- cast crawler, cast culling, generate (18 life)
- cast crawler, sac for aetherflux (22 life)
- cast aetherflux, cast crawler and storm off (24 before lifegain triggers)

Inclusions

Chainer, Dementia Master : Extremely powerful with K'rrik out on it's own, and functions in combos. Enables us to win with just a buried alive and a reanimation spell.

Cremate and cycling spells: Useful with Doomsday to begin the piles, I tried to only choose the more useful ones.

Exclusions

Mox Opal : Iffy artifact count

Lion's Eye Diamond : No really special combos aside from yawg will, it's probably fine to include

Bazaar of Baghdad : Not sure if its worth it, will test, but personally excluded for budget reasons. Will mess around with a proxied one when I build the deck

Mikaeus, the Unhallowed and friends: While we already run carrion feeder for combos, I think mikaeus/walking ballista are unneeded and don't synergize well enough with other cards (victimize is also excluded because we don't ever need a double reanimation, chainer and balthor can take care of mass reanimation without it)

Cabal Coffers : Just terrible without urborg, we can't afford early land drops that don't tap for mana

Diabolic Intent : I think most creatures are necessary in play aside from gravecrawler, and unless I'm executing a tutor loop with razaketh I don't really want to be using this kind of effect
