Casual EDH deck I've been tinkering with. Starts out looking like a typical zombie/mill deck until I start turning my permanents into artifacts with Liquimetal Coating and Memnarch, then making them all indestructible 5/5s with Darksteel Forge and Tezzeret, Agent of Bolas.

Some other fun combos include:

Infinite damage/mill win-con with Duskmantle Guildmage + Mindcrank

Sundial of the Infinite + Whip of Erebos lets me cast anything from my graveyard for 2UU and then keep it instead of exiling it.

Ashes of the Fallen + Zombie Apocalypse does the same en masse for 3UU.

Merfolk Looter + Waste Not + Words of Waste lets me force opponents to discard, while giving me the opportunity to throw fatties like It That Betrays into my graveyard for cheap recursion, all while giving me card advantage, plus the opportunity for free zombies and black mana.

Thoughts and comments are welcome. Any additions that won't break the bank for me would be appreciated!

UPDATE:

Tezzeret, Agent of Bolas and Darksteel Forge have been moved to the sideboard to make room for a combo with Glen Elendra Archmage + Mikaeus, the Unhallowed + Retribution of the Ancients . Netting myself a permanent Negate every time I have UB open (plus a bonus -1/-1 to target creature) seemed more useful than the potential for an army of indestructible 5/5s.
