Description of deck by its author (quoted):
 Essentially, this deck runs a bunch of cheap
threats and some good ways to get things out of the way. A Seizan in
play can simply finish the opponent off by draining away their life
after the initial rush (even if they do manage to draw good cards with
him). Cover of Darkness can supply a great path of victory for either
Zombies, Demons, or Spirits, depending on your board position. Tangle
Wire is great in any Seizan deck, but in a beatdown deck it becomes
especially good. I'm running a split selection of Moxes just to speed up
the deck further, but even though I'm mono-black, I'm running more Mox
Diamond just to help make the Rotting Giant better. For a similar
reason, I'm running the full complement of eight lands that sacrifice to
find Swamps, even though they can't find anything else. If you start
making a sideboard, Masticore is a great place to start. Not only does
he shore up one of black's notorious weaknesses (dealing with small Red
creatures), but also he works wonderfully with Seizan. I helped work on
a similar deck for Extended a few years back with Andy Wolf and the rest
of Cabal Rogue, and I think you'll find that the basic idea has a lot to
offer.
