This is my newest deck as of July 2019. It's primary focus is using my life total as a resource in full to either win the game out of nowhere or kill myself before somebody else can. If I have a Swamp, Dark Ritual, and Necropotence in my opening hand, you better believe I will pay 40 life and die before someone even plays a land; every time.

Realistically, my combo pay-offs are Angel's Grace + Ad Nauseam + Sickening Dreams to draw my whole deck and then discard my whole deck leaving me with 1 life, no cards in hand, and killing everyone else. Next, I try my hardest to play Barren Glory + Oblivion Ring + Apocalypse to remove every permanent in play and then win on my next upkeep, ideally it would be nice to flash in the combo at the end of my opponents turn with Vedalken Orrery. I also have Phyresis + Heartless Hidetsugu to win the game if I'm below 10 life or (hilariously) draw the game. Also, if I happen to get to 0 or less with a card that says I can't lose the game, I will cast Repay In Kind to set everyone else to 0 or less and win. I can swap life totals in that case with Axis Or Mortality or Soul Conduit too.

The look on peoples faces when I name myself with Sower Of Discord is always fun to see. I have a pretty good amount of wraths and card draw spells that utilize paying life to make it a bit easier on me such as Phyrexian Arena, Dark Tutelage (Budget Bob), Underworld Connections and Demonlord Belzenlok.

Finally, I chose Mathas, Fiend Seeker as my commander because it really does a solid job of everything I like to do. Comes out early because it only costs 3 mana, draw cards, gets political and can even attack every now and then with Menace.

I know my mana base is a little screwy at the moment and that will be rectified soon, any amount of feedback or card suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for viewing.
