Umbra Stalker
Creature — Elemental
Chroma - Umbra Stalker's power and toughness are each equal to the number of black mana symbols in the mana costs of cards in your graveyard.

I imagine the artwork for Saiam similar to Smog Elemental or Umbra Stalker.

slaftergames, that is a very good point and I feel silly for missing that. I'm going to set this to casual for the time being until I can find a good modern-legal replacement.
Right now I'm looking at Crowd of Cinders, Umbra Stalker, Mortivore, or bringing back Marrow-Gnawer.

@ MagicCordell: it didn't let you link because you had the card name wrong. Altar is spelled with an a.
@ Raging_Squiggle: I had a discussion with some friends on how to win once you have put your library in your graveyard. Our parameters were:
- We want to go off with any of the free discard outlets + Dakmor Salvage. Flexibility means one less thing to tutor for.
- We do not require having infinite mana. This is because the only discard outlet that gives you infinite mana when you mill your whole deck with Dakmor Salvage is Skirge Familiar
The solution we found was to have three creatures (and Haakon + knights and Gravecrawler can help as needed) but, instead of returning Eternal Witness for Yawgmoth's Win the plan was to return Dread Defiler and fling Lord of Extinction and/or Umbra Stalker (we would have to build our deck to have a large number of 
to ensure that Umbra Stalker is lethal but I have to assume that's not too hard).
You can also build the deck to have as many creatures as possible so that a Lhurgoyf is also lethal.
The problem is that you would need 
for each player, which is a fairly large amount of mana. Krosan Reclamation can throw a couple cards back in so you don't die and you can finish killing everybody next turn, but if that's the plan one might as well play Mortal Combat and call it a day. I do think this kill requires less mana than yours (especially because most of the matches I play are 3-player games) and also does not require that you use a wish (I am not sure if that would fly in my playgroup since technically in Commander wishes don't work - especially a wish for a card outside of color identity!).
Thoughts?
