Description/Playstyle (Anti-Meta/Jank/Meta)

Mono-Black(for no reason other than that I like it), control-ish, UrzaTron shell, no Ballista. Mana dump is Torment of Hailfire. A 9 mana Torment of Hailfire forces the opponent into a lethal position in almost all cases, forcing permanent sacs and discards. Hand disruption ensures you can stick your big Planeswalkers and Creatures. Hitting a Diabolic Revelation allows you to tutor anything else you need. Having UrzaTron online with an additional 2x allows you to tutor a Hailfire of Torment and an Urza's Tower, allowing for a 10 cast Hailfire of Torment, which is almost always game ending(for those longer games). Semi-budget as far as the UrzaTron shell goes.

Thoughts/Notes (Mostly for myself)

• Multiple Platinum Angels with Slaughter Pacts? (Risky)
• Do I need more Oblivion Stones? (Likely)
• Should Talisman of Dominance be core? Too often struggles at reaching 2x. (Likely)
• Do I need more Karn Liberated? (Definitely $$$)
• Additional Urborg and Sundering Titans? Good synergy/interaction. (No clue)
• 3 Wurmcoil? Or 2 with Sundering Titan/Urborg combo. (No clue)
• 2 or 3 Diabolic Revelation? (More testing required)

How I think/assume I'm supposed to play against other meta decks with mono-black(?)

• Izzet Phoenix: Sideboard additional Relic of Progentius/gravehate? Thought-Knot Seer in addition to Inquisition/Thoughtseize? Replace what?
• Humnans: Keep current kill spells, add additional Damnation/Black Sun's Zenith? Replace what?
• Tron: Add Ghost Quarter(s), add 2 Thoughtseize, remove 2 Inquisition of Kozilek? Add more Oblivion Stones? Exchange Go for the Throat and Fatal Push with Slaughter Pact/Ruinous Path/Despise? Feel the deck can control their curve then a Torment of Hailfire can easily close out the game. Ob Nixilis, Unshackled to stop searches?
• Burn: No idea, get Wurmcoil out ASAP? Add 2 more Thoughtseizes? Spellskite? Leyline of Sanctity, how many?
• Dredge: May not need to change much. Max Relic of Progenitus? Bojuka Bog? Black Sun's Zenith/Damnation?
• Control: As semi-control as well, I feel the deck can just control the game and use Thoughtseize/Inquistion to ensure a massive Torment of Hailfire sticks to close out.
• Other control decks to worry about?

Still theory crafting sideboard with budget in mind
