Silly idea, dunno if it's playable...

Plan A: Mono Black aggro. Take them down with speed!

Plan B: If you can manage to break 2 Ordeal of Erebos by turn 4 your opponent will discard pretty much their whole hand. .... PROFIT! That kind of hit early game just wins.

Plan C: (Because any deck without one of these is incomplete!)

Play Tainted Remedy then Land Cruel Feeding on an opponent's big creature (or two) as they swing... or block. GAME. Breaks many of the games most popular Power cards. I'm looking at YOU Sorin, Solemn Visitor and Seeker of the Way.

Obviously this deck has more than just a few things going on, and obviously this deck is NOT a serious Tier 1 deck. BUT it is cheap to build and capable of silly wins from reverse healing as well as solid Mono-Black-Aggro :) I think it'll be a fun use of $50. It's cheaper than two Liliana, Heretical Healer

Fun Synergies / Effects to watch for:

Once Tainted Remedy is on the field go ahead and put Eternal Thirst on your Opponent's creature! That's right! From now on that creature will kill it's owner anytime it engages in any combat :)
Brain Maggot is here for two reasons, Just looking at their hand lets you plan your moves, and Brain Maggot absorbs removal, as your opponent tries to get their best card back.
Simply casting Tainted Remedy after your opponent plays Whip of Erebos or Courser of Kruphix. it's a good laugh!

Any suggestions? Any other fun Mono-Black silliness I forgot to include?

2-1 and 2-0 Game Day! — Aug. 9, 2015

Edit

I only got to play two rounds gameday.

Rakdos Dragons Control 2-1

The control was just not able to keep my guys off the field, he never drew Anger of the Gods. After he played a big dragon blocker I used it as a reverse-lifelink blocker, which hurt him bad. His playset of Crackling Doom hit my Bloodsoaked Champion over and over :)

Izzit Burning 2-0

He used his burn on my face, and I used my healing abilities on my own creatures to push through without dipping into the danger zone. Radiant Fountain helped vs burn!

Both rounds my hand control pulled through, making it impossible for my opponents to stop my aggro's advance. So long as Brain Maggot does not die to a board wipe, I always feel good about forcing my opponent's precious removal to hit such a poor target. In the meantime it pokes away for 1 a turn. This card has treated me better than I deserve.

All in all for a VERY BUDGET deck this thing has done great! Mainboarding Tainted Remedy punishes so many decks for their healing, it's great!
