How it plays & wins
This looks like a mono-black reanimator deck backed by fast mana. Rituals and moxen (Dark Ritual, Cabal Ritual, Chrome Mox, Mox Diamond, Lion's Eye Diamond) power out early plays, while Entomb, Buried Alive, Stitcher's Supplier and Street Wraith fill the graveyard. Reanimate, Animate Dead, Necromancy and Dance of the Dead then bring back threats like Doom Whisperer, Sheoldred, the Apocalypse, or Massacre Wurm. Vampiric Tutor, Demonic Tutor and Grim Tutor help find the right pieces. Dauthi Voidwalker, Opposition Agent and Orcish Bowmasters add disruption.
No infinite combo is detected, and the list doesn't point to a single clean kill. The most likely wins are a resolved, reanimated big threat attacking through a weakened table, or a large drain from Gray Merchant of Asphodel, with Bolas's Citadel and Doomsday Excruciator as other ways to close. I can't say more about how the commander itself contributes.
