Control the board until you instant win with the Exquisite Blood + Sanguine Bond combo (Vizkopa Guildmage can be used in place of Sanguine Bond). Play your land wisely, Leechridden Swamp can deal damage to them letting you win and Scoured Barrens or Kabira Crossroads gains life letting you win. Most cards dealing damage or gaining life just aren't fast enough to win the turn both are played and many are unreliable in black and white (needing a creature to hit or simply don't control well enough for cost) plus that would be another card needed immediately for combo where land can be helpful in the meantime.

Idyllic Tutor and Diabolic Tutor are hard to decide on which is best. Diabolic Tutor costs more but allows you to grab any card needed to help you win such as Day of Judgment but Idyllic Tutor grabs one of the combo enchantments for 1 less mana. In the interest in making cheap decks Diabolic Tutor is currently in the deck.

Planeswalkers prove to be a huge problem because none of the main removal can touch them. That's where Utter End comes in.

Burn decks, especially instant/sorcery decks can be a major problem. Side out the combat damage prevention such as Holy Day and Darkness and maybe even creature killing cards (depending on if they have any) and replace them with Luminesce Hallow Dawn Charm and Celestial Purge.

Cheap price to build and up to the modern challenge.
