Deathbringer Liege speaks to me as a Johnnie. This is very much the sort of creature you could build a deck around.

The current idea is to have an aggro ramp before dropping the Liege as a bomb. Then the control spells start getting crazy, because they're essentially 2-for-1. As an additional element, every spell in this deck is either gold W/B or uses hybrid mana.

The biggest problem the deck has right now is that there's no effective way to guarantee the Liege sees play. I could just count on luck of the draw, but my feeling is that if I'm going to build a deck around a card, I want to be able to play that card consistently. (Weird, huh?) So I'm reworking the "aggro ramp" portion of the deck to be more effective.
