K'rrik (Doomsday Combo)
The Decklist:
This is what I consider to be the strongest version of the deck, though cheaper variants can still be quite competitive. This deck is entirely based on resolving Doomsday and winning the game with the cards in the pile.
Early Game Strategy
The deck utilizes early ramp and card draw in order to play K'rrik and find Doomsday as early as possible. It also has a significant tutor density.Ramp
The deck also runs a significant artifact ramp package that can be seen in the list above. Once K'rrik is out, Blood Celebrant becomes one of the best cards in the deck as it can fill generic costs K'rrik can't pay.
Card Draw
The deck also runs a large package of 1 drop black cards that either draw 1 or cycle to draw one. Once K'rrik is out Villis can draw cards very quickly, though that isn't a primary route on account of the high cmc for Villis.
Tutors

At 28 Life: B = Black mana S = Storm Count L = Life C = Colorless Mana
You already casted K'rrik -> 1S Tap 3 lands -> 3C (using colorless just in case you don't have all swamps out) Cast Doomsday -> Pay 6 down to 22, then it gets halved, down to 11L 2S Cast DRAW SPELL HERE FROM HAND (use a rock or something? idk?) -> 11L 3S Cast Bolas Citadel using the 3 -> 5L 4S Cast Zuran Orb -> 5L 5S Cast Aetherflux -> 5-4 = 1L 6S Cast 0 Drop -> 1 + 7(Storm) = 8L 7S Cast Sigil -> 8 - 4(cast) + 8(Storm) = 12 (Primer says 11) Bouncing and Casting Sigil costs 8 life per loop. You're generating 8+ life per loop now. It's infinite
