I don't have a list, but it feels like there has to be some kind of aristocraty Black (maybe green with the new flip enchantment) deck.

Some of the cards that look good:
Bontu's Monument
Bontu
Chupacabra
Jadelight Ranger
Dire Fleet Hoarder
Ruthless Knave
Yahenni, Undying Partisan
Oathsworn Vampire
Journey to Eternity

First draft, not sure what green/white cards would help the deck at the moment. I should probably fit in some Marionette Master's because it kind of has a treasure sub-theme. Man I wish we had a Blood Artist/Cutthroat that was legal, then Oathsworn Vampire would be insane.

I feel like there has to be some kind of deck built around Lich's Mastery and lifegain, Battle at the Bridge + Cabal Stronghold work great together. It might be better go splash white for more access to lifegain, but I like the feel of the mono black control list. Here's what I have so far:

Deck: Mono Black Lich's Mastery

//Lands
3 Cabal Stronghold
22 Swamp

//Spells
3 Battle at the Bridge
1 Cast Down
1 Dark Bargain
1 Duress
2 Essence Extraction
1 Karn, Scion of Urza
2 Lich's Mastery
1 Mastermind's Acquisition
3 Moment of Craving
1 Razaketh's Rite
4 Vraska's Contempt

//Creatures
1 Demonlord Belzenlok
4 Dread Shade
4 Gifted Aetherborn
1 Gonti, Lord of Luxury
2 Josu Vess, Lich Knight
2 Ravenous Chupacabra
1 Walking Ballista

The Shade is both an early threat they need to worry about and a mana sink. I think he's fine in a mono black deck.

That particular example couldn't happen, but I believe your understanding is correct - " can't lose the game" overrides " you lose the game".

Fun fact I discovered when looking up the rules - although you can't lose the game, your opponent can still win the game. Alternative win cons can still beat you.

Does this mean that Lich's Mastery won't help vs. approach? I was thinking it would be a good sideboard card against them.
