Guaranteed to blow your mind

Really interested in doing my first mono-colored EDH deck with the new Ayara at the helm. Basically we want to drain a bunch of life away from our opponents while getting value for casting and sacrificing our creatures. Maybeboard is cards I want to get but might take some time to do so.

Combos

Sanguine Bond + Exquisite Blood = The tried and true classic

Exquisite Blood + Aetherflux Reservoir = Can be used once above 50 life. Blast an opponent, get your life back, repeat until everyone else is dead.

Ayara, First of Locthwain + Plague of Vermin = have more life than your opponents, pay life equal to your opponents' highest life total, and watch everyone die as you get an army of rats, ping everyone to death, and get all that life back.

Gravecrawler + Phyrexian Altar + Ayala, First of Locthwain/ Blood Artist / Zulaport Cutthroat = Sac the Crawler, get a black mana, recast over and over until everyone else dies.

Gravecrawler + Phyrexian Altar + Pitiless Plunderer / Pawn of Ulamog / Black Market = If you can't get your commander out for some reason, but you have these out, you have yourself infinite mana. Now you could combo this with Exsanguinate for a win, but more easily you should just use this mana to recast Ayara for the win. Though in Black Market's case you'll have to wait until it's your turn again...

Gravecrawler + Phyrexian Altar + Open the Graves = Again, assuming you can't have your commander out for the kill, you can instead make an endless army of zombie tokens.

Gravecrawler + Phyrexian Altar + Aetherflux Reservoir = You can also recast your Crawler for an absurd amount of life, then blast everyone.

Gravecrawler + Phyrexian Altar + Dictate of Erebos = Alternatively, you have an easy boardwipe (not infinite, but then I never said this section was all about "infinite combos").

Gravecrawler + Phyrexian Altar + Liliana, Dreadhorde General = This COULD be infinite, but you don't want it to go that far. We're only interested in drawing however many cards we need. Again, assuming you can't just end the game with Ayara (Seriously just DO IT!! Unless you're just that sadistic).

Please let me know if you have any suggestions or other thoughts!
