Bit of a budget-ish deck that revolves around Shirei sacrificing things like crazy. Once this thing gets going, pretty much the only thing that can stop it is boardwipes. The amount of synergy between every single card in this deck is incredible.

This deck runs a lot of really mean stax stuff like Abyssal Gatekeeper, Possessed Portal, Contamination, Grave Pact, etc, and some other win conditions like Lightning Coils, Exsanguinate (paired with Black Market, Gemstone Array, or Ashnod's Altar), Blade of the Bloodchief, etc.

There are countless ways for this deck to get out of control for your opponents. If you're not gaining ridiculous amounts of life from Bottle Gnomes and Deathgreeter, you're drawing tons of cards with Mindless Automaton or Scarecrone or you're ramping like crazy with Black Market, Pilgrim's Eye, Gemstone Array, and Cabal Coffers. This paints a pretty big target on your head and you are very vulnerable to commander tucks and boardwipes, but Contamination, Nim Deathmantle, and hexproof-ing equipment should help you out with all of that.
