This is a Mono Black Control deck that I hope will perform well at Friday Night Magic. It is creatureless, because there are a lot of decks with tons of removal and Scarab God / Hostage Taker decks, so not having any creatures makes a lot of those decks less effective.

The key piece of this deck is Torment of Hailfire. There is not really any other wincon for it (barring a late game Cruel Reality)

The second key piece is the Primal Amulet, as it will allow you to double the effectiveness of Torment of Hailfire once it flips.

Suggestions and thoughts are appreciated.
