Mono-black control with Skithiryx as the win condition.

The goal is to control the game with discard and removal in usual mono-black fashion before Skithiryx coming in for the quick kill. Note that this strategy is risky in multiplayer, since you are at the mercy of the other players. If you make too many enemies, you likely won't be able to keep yourself alive.

In terms of the pump effects, the idea is to have as many free equipment and static pump for Skithiryx as possible. This means that you generally don't need to cast him until the turn that you actually kill someone since you save so much mana on the pump.
