The biggest edge this deck has is it's incredibly flexible card synergy, almost every 2 things you have in your hand will establish a potential win condition and much of what you'll draw will build momentum towards it.

I've listed some of the combos I've found below

NOTEWORTHY SYNERGY:

• Dreadhorde Arcanist + > Death Baron / Lord of the Accursed = cast 2 drop instant/sorceries from gy > Death Baron / Lord of the Accursed = make use of DA's trample

• Undead Augur / Midnight Reaper + > Relentless Dead = Card advantage loop > Curse of Disturbance = Card advantage ramp (Only with UA) > Undead Augur / Midnight Reaper = stack the draw effects early game for easy 3+ card advantage

• Dreadhorde Butcher + > Death Baron / Lord of the Accursed = DRAMATIC Rush > Death Baron = Deathtouch synergy, easy 2 for 1 DB as effect also gets deathtouch > Curse of Disturbance = play both in same turn for surprise momentum

• Death Baron / Lord of the Accursed + > BOTH CARDS = Deathtouch + Menace + +2/+2 field, easy win con > Curse of Disturbance = 3/3 generator

All strategies are easy to set up thanks to card draw from UA/MR and recovery from Victimize and Relentless Dead. Consistent draw power and low mana curve also allows the deck to run fewer lands, this is an advantage late game when playing lands becomes less irrelevant and regular action becomes more important.

Deck is weaker to flying as many decks are and is forced to rely on either DA removal combo or outpacing damage to succeed. It also has no lifegain to compensate for the -1 life draw effects so it's worthwhile being careful not to lean into this strategy too much as it's difficult to 'back out of' and very easily can kill you with your own card effects against more aggressive decks. That said, those cards make for powerful recovery from field wipes and the like and so it's almost always worth maintaining at least one on the field.
