Not the most original of ideas. Commander can exploit itself to tutor. Therefore its just a deck stacked with combo pieces and ramp.

If I upgrade this, the obvious choices are just more competitive ramps to better utilize turns 1-3.

::Combos:: The cheapest combo is probaly Buried Alive + Reanimate

With this you tutor Triskelion, Phyrexian Devourer, and Necrotic Ooze to your graveyard and then cast Reanimate on the Necrotic Ooze. Converting your library into damage.

Outside of this there are 2 primary combos. Infinite mana and infinite dying.

Mana comes from a few good loops:

Basalt Monolith + Rings of Brighthearth gives infinite colorless

Cabal Coffers/Cabal Stronghold/Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx + Deserted Temple + Rings of Brighthearth gives infinite black if you can meet the swamp/devotion requirements

Magus of the Coffers + Umbral Mantle/Staff of Domination similarly provides the previous combo in creature form

Nim Deathmantle + Ashnod's Altar + Wurmcoil Engine/Grave Titan gives infinite colorless/infinite tokens.

Any of the colorless combos can be supplemented with Bog Initiate /Prismite to fix into black but so long as you have 2 black you can just tutor into Walking Ballista to end the game. Exsanguinate as a slightly more costly alternative just in case you can't target your opponent(s).

Death loops: Phyrexian Altar+Gravecrawler + any zombie gives both infinite creature dying and infinite creature cast/etb. Add a Diregraf Colossus and you get infinite token/mana

The previously mentioned Nim Deathmantle loop

Mikaeus, the Unhallowed + Puppeteer Clique/Putrid Goblin utilizes Undying + Persist combo

Mikaeus, the Unhallowed + Triskelion/Walking Ballista technically is also an infinite death/etb combo but you'll more likely win off the damage

Any of these coupled with Blood Artist, Zulaport Cutthroat, Bastion of Remembrance, Pawn of Ulamog,Falkenrath Noble, Pitiless Plunderer, or Vengeful Dead turns the loop into a win-con.

Because of the variety of interactions, these particular combos get a little creative, often used more as a boost into one of cheaper win cons
