Skullbriar storm deck that abuses Death's Presence , Paradox Engine and sac outlets to go infinite in a myriad of ways and contains a couple other infinite combos that don't rely on those cards as well. Since some of the combos end up giving Skullbriar or another creature infinite power/toughness, trample enablers were included in case you don't have a card that allows you to close out the game in hand.

Some of the infinite combos (in reducing order of improbability):

Skullbriar, the Walking Grave + Paradox Engine + Selvala, Heart of the Wilds + Krosan Restorer + Opal Palace + any sac outlet = Infinite card draw, mana and P/T. Needs a finisher card such as Exsanguinate, Triumph of the Hordes or Tendrils of Agony. If you already have trample, then you can skip Opal Palace and Krosan Restorer and slot in Death's Presence instead if Skullbriar's P/T is at least 3, but that does get rid of the card draw as soon as Selvala is bigger than Skullbriar.

Gravecrawler + Phyrexian Altar + any other Zombie = infinite storm/gravestorm. Least mana intensive way to cast Tendrils of Agony for lethal.

Aetherflux Reservoir + Exquisite Blood + having at least 51 life = Infinite damage in meaty 50 damage chunks. Exquisite Blood's rarely even needed since you can gain infinite life off of just storm count, but if you haven't gotten a combo rolling, this is a decent substitute.

Mikaeus, the Unhallowed + Walking Ballista. Infinite damage, six mana, two cards, can be fully tutored with Defense of the Heart as early as turn 2. BALANCED

Suggestions on how to improve the deck are always welcome!
