MBC post Gatecrash?

Standard forum

So I saw the spoiler for Crypt Ghast and I am very exited to say that I will be playing Mono-Black Control in standard come Gatecrash! This has always been my favorite play style, but I did not start playing in standard until RTR so is has not been a feasible strategy yet. Right now I am running a control/midrange black deck with a splash of red, Olivia is a Bit of a Control Freak, so that I can run Dreadbore and Olivia Voldaren to stay relevant. However with Griselbrand , Heartless Summoning ,both versions of Lili, Crypt Ghast, all the hand destruction we have I can see MBC being viable and fun.

So what about you guys? Any thoughts about it or ideas on how to play this?

I actually had a fun idea for a type of MBC once I thought about it. Planeswalker Mutilate Control, using Shocks to keep your swamp count high and still hit a good color spread.

Here's what I was brainstorming for GTC: Shadow Council
