Here is a list of the combos run in the deck and other very synergistic cards:
Combos:
- Bog Initiate + Ashnod's Altar + Reassembling Skeleton + Bitter Ordeal = Mill all opponents
Sacrifice Reassembling Skeleton to Ashnod's Altar and filter the 1 into B with Bog Initiate. Repeat infinite times, and play Bitter Ordeal removing all cards in each opponent's library.
- Magus of the Coffers + Sword of the Paruns = Infinite mana
With 6 Swamps in play and Magus of the Coffers equipped with Sword of the Paruns, you can gain infinite B mana. Tap 2 and tap the Magus of the Coffers and generate 6 B mana, using 3 of it, use the equipped Sword of the Paruns to untap the Magus of the Coffers and you can repeat the combo every time netting you B per use.
- Nim Deathmantle + Wurmcoil Engine + Ashnod's Altar = Infinite Mana + Infinite creatures
Pay 2 and sacrifice the Wurmcoil Engine to Ashnod's Altar generating you 4 mana and two Wurmcoil Engine tokens. Activate Nim Deathmantle to recur the Wurmcoil Engine. Now sacrifice the Wurmcoil Engine and a Wurmcoil Engine Token and repeat this infinite times. You can create infinite colorless mana and infinite Wurmcoil Engine Tokens. -> Add Bitter Ordeal to the combo to exile all cards in each players library.
- Nim Deathmantle + Massacre Wurm + Ashnod's Altar = Board wipe with damage
Pay 2 and sacrifice the Massacre Wurm to Ashnod's Altar generating you 4 mana and each opponent's creatures get -2/-2. This combo can take out indestructible creatures as well as making each opponent lose 2 life per creature destroyed. With loads of mana you can destroy any creature that comes into play.
- Deathrender + Warren Pilferers + Gravedigger + Altar of Dementia = Mill
With one of the two creatures in play and the other in hand, equip Deathrender to the one in play. Sacrifice the creature to Altar of Dementia milling an opponent 2 or 3 respectively and equip the Deathrender to the one in your hand. With the new one coming into play, return the other to your hand and repeat. -> For infinite mana instead replace Altar of Dementia with Ashnod's Altar
- Puppeteer Clique + Ashnod's Altar + Nim Deathmantle = Infinite steal any creature + Infinite mana
Sacrifice Puppeteer Clique to Ashnod's Altar to generate 2 mana. It will persist and upon return you can steal a creature, sacrifice it again to have a total of 4 mana and activate Nim Deathmantle equipping to it. It will return and you can steal another creature. For infinite mana, sacrifice the stolen creature to the Ashnod's Altar and make 2 mana per use.
Synergy:
- Bloodchief Ascension + Ill Gotten Gains
With Bloodchief at full counters you can play Ill-Gotten Gains to make each player discard their hand, with each card discarded you gain 2 life and each opponent losses 2 life.
- Necropotence + Maralen of the Mornsong
With Necropotence in play I skip my draw phase, which is when Maralen of the Mornsong activates. With that I can't tutor but I don't lose life as well. If I pay 3 life at End of Turn, I can lose the same amount I would from Maralen of the Mornsong, but net 3 cards instead of 1. This would put me in a possition of card advantage over my opponents, who are still losing the 3 life.
- Temporal Extortion + Wound Reflection
Any player who wishes to counter Temporal Extortion will lose the game at end of turn due to Wound Reflection.

While I like Maralen for her ability, I've heard alot of hate against her cuz she lets your opponents fetch first. I don't think it matters but people comment all the time on that. I don't agree with it cuz cards like Howling Mine and Font of Mythos lets your opponents draw extra cards anyways. Also if they fetch removal then you can always replay her and it wastes a removal spell which can be much more useful on other things you have.
I'm kind of confused with your combos involving Ashnod's Altar. Ashnod's Altar reads "Sacrifice a creature: Add {2} to your mana pool."
- Nim Deathmantle + Wurmcoil Engine + Ashnod's Altar = Infinite Mana + Infinite creatures
Pay and sacrifice the Wurmcoil Engine to Ashnod's Altar generating you mana and two Wurmcoil Engine tokens. Activate Nim Deathmantle to recur the Wurmcoil Engine. Now sacrifice the Wurmcoil Engine and a Wurmcoil Engine Token and repeat this infinite times. You can create infinite colorless mana and infinite Wurmcoil Engine Tokens. -> Add Bitter Ordeal to the combo to exile all cards in each players library.
- Nim Deathmantle + Massacre Wurm + Ashnod's Altar = Board wipe with damage
Pay and sacrifice the Massacre Wurm to Ashnod's Altar generating you mana and each opponent's creatures get -2/-2. This combo can take out indestructible creatures as well as making each opponent lose 2 life per creature destroyed. With loads of mana you can destroy any creature that comes into play.

How are you paying 2 and receiving 4?
I was about to point this out. I read it for a minute and was scratching my head. Deathmantle costs 4 to activate. So you sac Wurmcoil to Altar for 2, then pay 2 more to recur it. Now you can sac a token for 2, then the other token for 2, then Wurmcoil itself again, using that 4 to recur. And we're back where we started.

Wont work because it wont give you the extra mana needed to get the Wurm back.
