Mono Black control on a budget.

Treasure Map   instead of Karn, Scion of Urza and Demonlord Belzenlok instead of Doom Whisperer to keep cost low.

Cabal Stronghold plus Dread Shade keeps us alive with flipped Arguel's Blood Fast  

Cabal Stronghold makes for easily kicked Josu Vess, Lich Knight

Everything else is pretty standard for mono-B control

Sideboard for going against other control decks.
