Welcome to my Haunt of Hightower Brew! The name of the game here is Removal, Removal, Removal!

When I opened my box of Allegiance, the most exciting card I drew commander wise was my box topper, The Haunt of Hightower . When I read the card, I instantly wanted to brew it, and this list is my brainstorm on what a deck with him at the head would look like. Being mono-black, my first instinct was to go full on removal, but after doing some thinking I've rounded it out to resource denial in general.

The basic strategy of this deck is to deny my opponents resources, be that via single target removal, board wipes, or mill/discard. Then, I plan to turn my opponents losses into my gains, chiefly through Haunts ability to stack counters, as well as through cards like Waste Not .

I am still in the brewing process, so any suggestions are welcome! Thanks!
