This was a fun idea to build a deck that was truly creatureless (no cards to gain control of opponent creatures either), and still be able to slow down an opponent long enough to win.

The concept is to basically get out a few Liliana's Caress or Megrim and then discard your opponent to death. The Shrieking Affliction is there to discourage them emptying their hand before you can discard them and punish them further after you do.

The deck can be a little vulnerable to direct damage and fast creatures but Night of Souls' Betrayal can slow the latter down a bit.

Once you get enough land on the table, every subsequent land you draw becomes a Raven's Crime assuming you've got one in your graveyard for extra discard potential.

Damnation is a better card option than Mutilate in every way, but I went with the poor man's option to keep this a budget deck.
