Mind Flayer deck I just kind of threw together from miscellaneous cards I had lying around. Tried to build around the theme of stealing the opponent's stuff for him to become a creature. Think a good way to do this in mono black is just reanimating the opponent's creatures. A few ways to force them to discard can help with this too, along with all the removal that mono black can play. Looking for fun cards that can go with the "steal their stuff" theme, mostly budget friendly ones.
