Shirei Aritocrats Hate Stax

As I've been working with Shirei, Shizo's Caretaker I have noticed that this is not going to be an easy deck to accomplish everything you need to with a standard EDH deck. If it could be best described it would realistically be a mono-black control deck. The main goal is to control the board state with our opponents to sacrifice creatures and bring ours back every turn. In this deck everything is a chump blocker even without a sacrifice outlet online it will help us to let our creatures be killed triggering a multitude of ETB/LTB triggers. The best part is, we will be able to trigger the effects effectively on every turn and continuously make our opponents destroy their own things.

We have plenty of Tutors for our key cards: Demonic Tutor , Razaketh, the Foulblooded , Diabolic Intent and Expedition Map for our Cabal Coffers .

Since their are not a lot of options for enchantment removal I added in Oblivion Stone and Nevinyrral's Disk to clear everything if we are not able to sacrifice Shirei, Shizo's Caretaker before he is enchanted.

The Sac Outlets

We will need to be continuously killing our creatures in order to trigger all of the ETB/LTB effects that we need to control our board. Of course they are all chump blockers and later on in the game our opponents will have to block and kill them due to low life totals. So the goal is to block or attack with them and at the end of our opponents' second main phase sacrifice anything that is still alive. There are many sacrifice outlets that are a mix of lands, sorceries, creatures and artifacts.

The Win Conditions!

This deck will be a continuous work in progress as I play it more. The cards in maybe board could be changed in or out depending on what works best in the deck. All of them have different effects and could be switched out if we want more damage or life gain.

Please share your ideas and let me know if there are any "key" cards that I have missed on this build!
