My board wipe tribal deck. It actually started out as a zombie tribal deck. People kept playing annoying things like Aven Mindcensor or what have you, and I didn't always have something to kill them with. So, I kept adding kill spells and removing zombies until I arrived at the Mono-Black control deck I have today.

The game plan is simple.

1. Hopefully ramp a bit.
2. Hopefully get out Phyrexian Arena or some other source of card draw.
3. Hopefully play Dread or Vengeful Pharaoh or some such.
4. Sit back and enjoy watching other people play the game.
5. Use spot removal on any creatures or planeswalkers that are troublesome or threatening to specifically me. (Maybe help someone else out for political favor)
6. Clear the board when the size and number of creatures start to get scary.
7. Repeat steps 4-6 for as long as is fun or until there is valid concern that I will lose the game soon.
8. Win. (If at all possible, with Rise of the Dark Realms or something equally cool and fun. Tutor for Triskelion only as a last resort.)
