So you see, I wanted to play mono-Black in EDH, but I didn't want to buy a Cabal Coffers, Gauntlet of Power, or any of the other expensive mono-B staples. Enter budget Yahenni, where every card is less than $1. The deck has a couple of game plans it can use to win:

1) Wrath the board with Yaheeni out and hit someone for 21+ commander damage, or just use Rogue's Passage
2) Wrath the board after playing Revel in Riches and make enough treasures to win on upkeep
3) Play or recur Gray Merchant of Asphodel to drain each opponent to death
4) Generate a bunch of mana and use Pestilence to kill the table
5) Win with opponents' cards via Gonti, Lord of Luxury, Puppeteer Clique, and Necromantic Selection
