Very much your typical mono-black control deck, just with an atypical commander. Kuon is quite easy to flip, usually one Fleshbag Marauder will get the job done. We break the symmetry of Kuon's ability by running token producers like Ophiomancer , creatures that won't stay dead ( Bloodghast ) and creatures that want to be sacrificed ( Kokusho, the Evening Star ). We want to play slow, control the board as best we can, then win with classic mono-black wincons such as Gary, Torment of Hailfire , Exsanguinate , and Rise of the Dark Realms .
