So basically, right from the bat you wanna tutor for that Maralen of the Mornsong and use her to get Stranglehold . You want to deny them their resources as early as possible, and start getting your combo pieces.
The deck has a lot of cards that synergize well with Mogis, God of Slaughter and there's a lot of cards that can kickstart the devotion. Since I've got a lot of cards that count for double R or B, Gray Merchant of Asphodel can still get crazy, and Erebos, god of the damned can also get in on the action.
Mogis animated means the opponent is on a 3 turn commander damage timer. He closes out games surprisingly quick.
Before I start blabbing, how competitive do you want your deck to be? I have a thread that's focusing on Competitive Mogis but in Duel Commander format. The format is different but the approach is the same.

So yeah, heavy removal suite, draw power, combo finishes.
Combos!
Mikaeus, the Unhallowed + Triskelion = Infinite damage
Mikaeus, the Unhallowed + Murderous Redcap + sac outlet = infinite damage
Maralen of the Mornsong + Stranglehold = I get a cruel tutor every turn, my opponent doesn't draw nor get to tutor, but still loses 3 life. Also, my opponent can't take extra turns.
Thornbite Staff + Avatar of Woe = Destroy all creatures they control (can indefinitely untap to tap again)
Thornbite Staff + Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker + Ashnod's Altar /Phyrexian Altar = infinite mana
Thornbite Staff + Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker + Triskelion = infinite damage
Nim Deathmantle + Grave Titan + sac outlet + infinite mana = infinite tokens
Nim Deathmantle + Ashnod's Altar + Grave Titan = infinite mana and infinite tokens.
Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker + Zealous Conscripts = infinite hasty 3/3's
Grave Betrayal + Grave Pact + sac outlet = Very strong synergy
The deck is in fact Skyrim themed, drawing inspiration from the Daedric Artifact questline for Mehrunes Razor. (Of which, Elbrus, the Binding Blade Flip represents; Mogis represents Mehrunes Dagon himself.).
