How to Play

Requirements:
4BB, an opponent controlling a Forest and you controlling a Swamp
OR
4BBB
OR
Deal combat damage to a player with Geode Golem

Combo:
- Pay 4BB to cast Demonlord Belzenlok, putting all the non-land cards from your deck to your hand. (taking at most 27 damage)
-- (If low on life you can have Glacial Chasm, Whip of Erebos, Deadly Wanderings or Homicidal Seclusion in play to prevent this damage)
- Exile a non combo section black card to cast Unmask on yourself and discard Phantasmagorian.
- Discard Skirge Familiar, Dread Return, and a non combo section card to return Phantasmagorian to your hand.
- Cast Deepwood Legate for free.
-- (If nobody has a Forest, you will need an additional B; then activate Phantasmagorian two additional times (holding priority, discarding 6 non combo cards) to have enough cards to delve into Sibsig Muckdraggers to pay only B for it. Also, since Sibsig Muckdraggers’s trigger is not a may, you need an additional creature in the graveyard when the trigger happens to avoid returning Skirge Familiar to your hand)
- Cast Hollow One for free.
- Flash back Dread Return, sacrificing Demonlord Belzenlok, Hollow One and Deepwood Legate to return Skirge Familiar.
-- (I recommend casting Hollow One last because you can dodge artifact removal, since you regain priority after Hollow One resolves and sacrificing to Dread Return is a cost)
- Use Skirge Familiar's ability to discard: Skithiryx, the Blight Dragon, Lotus Guardian, Endling, Cinderhaze Wretch and Dread to add BBBBB.
-- (Skirge Familiar can generate mana to cast Scour from Existence, in order to deal with some stax cards such as Damping Matrix)
- Pay BBBB to cast Necrotic Ooze.
-- (If Necrotic Ooze gets countered you can return it with Makeshift Mannequin or Sibsig Muckdraggers)
- Pay B to give Necrotic Ooze haste (ability gained from Skithiryx, the Blight Dragon).
- Tap Necrotic Ooze to add B (ability gained from Lotus Guardian).
- Pay B to give Necrotic Ooze undying (ability gained from Endling).
- Alternate between Lotus Guardian's and Cinderhaze Wretch's abilities until Necrotic Ooze dies to add BB.
- Necrotic Ooze comes back with a +1/+1 counter (undying), then pay BB to give it haste and undying, then alternate between Lotus Guardian's and Cinderhaze Wretch's abilities until Necrotic Ooze dies to add BBBB. Repeat until you have unbound black mana (you can then filter to mana of any color).
---Optional: Give Necrotic Ooze infinite +1/+1, haste, undying, menace, and deathtouch (abilities gained from Deepwood Legate, Skithiryx, the Blight Dragon and Endling). Then use both of Cinderhaze Wretch's abilities to make all your opponents discard their hands.
- Use your unbound mana to cast Syr Konrad, the Grim, then keep using his ability to mill everyone. Also, by discarding Dread, you will deal damage since it will keep leaving and entering your graveyard.
-- (Syr Konrad, the Grim's ability is also useful to deal with Noxious Revival type of effects).
