Game plan and how to win

This deck plays black Demons and other big flyers. Your commander is Ob Nixilis, Unshackled. It has flying and trample. Each time another creature dies, Ob Nixilis gets a +1/+1 counter. When an opponent searches their library, that player sacrifices a creature and loses 10 life.

In the first turns:

Play Sol Ring, Replicating Ring or Thought Vessel for extra mana.
Play Elderfang Disciple or Blood Speaker to slow opponents and find Demons.
Use Liliana of the Dark Realms to find a Swamp each turn.
Play Ob Nixilis, Unshackled on turn 5 or 6.

Varragoth, Bloodsky Sire works well with Ob Nixilis. After Varragoth attacks, pay 2 to make an opponent search their library. Then Ob Nixilis makes that player sacrifice a creature and lose 10 life.

Use Feed the Serpent, Bloodchief's Thirst and Jarl of the Forsaken on dangerous creatures. Crippling Fear gives creatures that are not Demons -3/-3. Choose Demon when you cast it. Each creature that dies makes Ob Nixilis bigger.

Ambition's Cost, Harrowing Journey and Sanguimancy draw cards but cost life. Use them when your life is high.

You win with large flyers like Ob Nixilis, Desecration Demon and Archfiend of Depravity. If Ob Nixilis, Unshackled dies, cast it again from the command zone.
