Draw as much of your library into your hand, sack it to the familiar to make black mana, cast spell from your graveyard if you need to and then dispense it all into the Pestilence while you stand safely in your Urza's Armor.  This is mostly based on the rule that Pestilence is a source that deals 1 damage so the Armor constantly blocks it so I don't know if that rule has changed. 

I used this combo pretty well back when club playing started getting big.  Basically you flash out the Yawgmoth's Bargain and pull as much of your library in your hand as possible.  Add in Delusions to grab even more.  Sack it all to the Skirge Familiar or play Dark Rituals.  Yawgmoth's Bargain allows you to cast from your graveyard so cast some more dark rituals and if you need the Pestilence and Urza's Armor.  Then spend the rest of the mana you just created on the Pestilence, while hiding comfortably behind Urza's Armor.

Yes, in the reality of things this isn't a great combo, but it fits into the theme style I liked and it's just fun for your opponent to not know whats coming.

why do you say this is not a good combo? You could replace the Armor and the Pestilence with Soul Burn or the like, but this is a great combo because it finds all of its pieces. One the Bargain hits the table, its all over.

It doesn't effectively suck, but the metagame on the deck hurt it bad because there is so many elimination spells for it, from Disenchant the Armor to a Shock on the Familiar.  If they know what is going on, they'll wait for it, so it was good the first go round, but suffered on its next outing. 

I just had a lot of fun with it because theme-wise it's dead on.
