I originally decided to make a deck based around Chainer, Nightmare Adept and his reanimate ability. Through multiple games with friends and multiple revisions I have come to this current list. Although Chainer, Nightmare Adept is the commander at the helm, the deck has a hidden commander who just steamrolls the table most times he hits the board and that is K'rrik, Son of Yawgmoth. My playgroup is very combo heavy and I have made it a point to be that one guy that runs little to no combos hence why I am only running the combos that revolve around gravecrawler and pretty much only as a way to close out a game that has gone too long. I am very happy with my current list however I am always open to suggestions and constructive criticism.

Notable cards are:

Gravecrawler + Phyrexian Altar + Blood Artist and another Zombie or Vengeful Dead = Infinite life loss (and gain with Blood Artist)

Bitterblossom + Contamination = All lands tap for a single black mana.

Bone Miser + Zombie Infestation = Lots of Zombies, lots of mana, lots of cards

Dockside Extortionist + Chainer, Nightmare Adept + Sac Outlet = absurd amounts of treasure tokens at times.

Balthor the Defiled can make for some fantastic plays when you have a very large graveyard.
