Liliana, Heretical Healer  / Liliana, Defiant Necromancer  

{B} Discard-Control

---

First, we "trigger" Liliana to flip(out), then profit from the discard-induced mayhem & destruction..

---

The idea is to use self-sacrificing creatures to cause Liliana to flip ASAP, and then take advantage of her flipped state (Liliana, Defiant Necromancer  ) by churning value out of her +2 ability, keeping everyone's hand empty while repeatedly wiping the board and otherwise Murdering anything that does manage to resolve, thus making her Emblem a realistic threat... and once her Emblem is out— at that point the game becomes permanently tilted..

In another words, most of the classical elements of Mono-Black Control are present & correct, plus a flavorful seasoning blend of Madness shenanigans, Necromancy, and Demons that Liliana (as a character) is known for. All to drag the rest of the table down into a long-game of death by Attrition..
