Notes
 
REID DUKE'S MONO-BLACK CONTROL

The biggest addition here is Dread Presence, which by itself gives the deck a reason to play 25 Swamps. This card does double duty, gunning down aggro creatures and gaining life or drawing extra cards against control. If Dread Presence survives, you likely win in short order, and even when it dies you may get a solid 2 for 1 out of the deal.
Yarok's Fenlurker is another big addition, despite it being a small creature. It eats the opponent's hand and chumps early, and then actually turns into a real card later.
Lastly, Cavalier of Night is a huge threat, and sacrifices Fenlurkers and Dusk Legion Zealots for value. If the opponent kills this, which they usually have to, it brings back whatever it ate and you get extra value as a result.
