A deck for the new standard based around Descent into Madness]] and Shrieking Affliction so a suicidal monoblack control deck focused on reducing the opponents field and hand to ashes at the equivalent cost of my own. But with nothing for either side to call on my Shrieking Affliction can stick and lead the player to a slow death.
