Description of deck by its author (quoted):
The interaction between Nether Traitor, Genesis Chamber and Phyrexian Altar is quite alluring. Here’s what you can do:

Have out Chamber, Altar, and Traitor (Or another creature with a Traitor in the yard)

1). Sacrifice the Traitor to the Altar to make a Black mana.
2). Make a 1/1 token off the Chamber.
3). Sacrifice the token to make a Black mana.
4). Return the Nether Traitor to play by spending a Black mana

Net result – 1 extra Black mana is in your mana pool.

Repeat as you will any number of times, and you can have 5000 Black mana in your mana pool. Yay, mana!

What can you do with that mana? Well you could Consume Spirit, but that’s a bit boring, I’ve used Consume Spirit lots of times. You could pump your Undercity Shade and swing with its feared self. One player dead, boom! You could also put a ton of Goblin Cannon activations on the stack, killing every player in the game in one fell swoop. Bang!

In order to set up, we have cards like Uncle Istvan, Steel Wall and Wall of Souls to get you the time you need. Uncle Istvan does not get the respect he deserves but he is fine here. I wanted Will-o’-the-Wisp, but I use them too much so I went with the one drop Steel Wall instead, which is a fine compromise since it is not as mana hungry.

Liliana Vess is my subtle choice here. Use her tutor ability to collect combo pieces and you can get two tutors off her while you defend her from attackers with your 10 defensive creatures. She can also buy you time while she forces discards and pushes your opponent. I doubt you’ll ever get close to her ultimate activation, but it is possible, after all. I mainly used her to get you combo pieces.

And there we have another combo deck courtesy of yours truly. I like building and showing these things off, so I hope you like it!
