The first and second combo are Animate Dead + Leonin Relic-Warder and Dance of the Dead + Leonin Relic-Warder with Elas il-Kor, Sadistic Pilgrim out, this is infinite life gain and life loss. This combo needs {1}{B} to cast either recursion spell, and Leonin in the graveyard.

New combo for the list Agatha's Soul Cauldron + Francisco, Fowl Marauder + Walking Ballista , With Walking Ballista in the graveyard, the Cauldron can give its ability to Francisco. If you hit the explore trigger you can infinitely ping.

The next combo for a less early kill, Bloodchief Ascension + Mindcrank needs {2}{B}, and three turns, Then it mills your opponents out after they lose any life.

We keep getting slower but its more fun, This combo is Cleric Class + Shadowspear + Walking Ballista as long as the ballista doesn't die to losing its last counter you can use it's ability to deal infinite damage. To play this out in one turn you need {10}{W}{W}, with walking Ballista needing two counters to start. This can be spread over multiple turns though.

The last combo will win you the game at instant speed, but needs at least {4}{B}{B}{B}{W} Mana. Ad Nauseam + Angel's Grace or Ad Nauseam + Teferi's Protection Will allow you to draw your deck. Then Sickening Dreams cast at the highest life total of your opponents will win you the game. You can use Reliquary Tower in the case you want to keep your deck in your hand, and Elixir of Immortality in the case you want your deck and graveyard back in your deck.

This deck is based on "Paint It Black". My version has been modified with different combos so Lurrus of the Dream-Den can be the companion.
