I have had had great success with the following deck. It puts me in the top 8 every time....and it has gotten me to 2nd place 5 times post RTR. I am looking for any suggestions that will give me that extra push it needs to take #1. (I'm not gonna blame bad hands or nothing...it is made to deal with it.)
I would like to keep it Mono-Black. *Mutilate advantage* (I have tried it with 4 drowned Catacombs + 2 Snapcasters - will consider more after Gatecrash) (Splashing Red is possible for Dreadbore and Slaughter Games...I just dont want to)
The deck theory is: Kill Kill Kill, do damage, Kill Kill, Control, Kill, do damage, then win.
(Always use your first lilianna to make them sacrifice....you're bound to get another one. She is more of a distraction...and a big one)
Deck List:
21 - Swamps (more foil the better)
Plainswalker:
4 - Lilianna of the Veil
Creatures:
4 - Vampire Nighthawk
4 - Lilianna's Shade
4 - Geralf's Messenger
2 - Dark Imposter
2 - Desecration Demon
1 - Shimian Specter
1 - Griselbrand
Spells:
4 - Tragic Slip
2 - Ultimate Price
2 - Victim of the Night
2 - Murder
4 - Sign in Blood
4 - Mutilate
SB:
1 - Victim of the Night
1 - Ultimate Price
1 - Murder
4 - Graffdigger's cage (vs. zombies / reanimator / lingering souls)
4 - Witchbane Orb (vs. Burn)
4 - Duress

First off, more people will respond if you do the card and/or deck tags. [c*]card name[/c*] minus * will do cards, [deck*][/deck*] minus * will help with a deck. There's a post on it somewhere...but I'm not certain where. Anyway, I'll do the links for you this time Land 21 x Swamp  Planeswalker 4 x Liliana of the Veil  Creatures 4 x Vampire Nighthawk  4 x Liliana's Shade  4 x Geralf's Messenger  2 x Dark Impostor  2 x Desecration Demon  1 x Shimian Specter  1 x Griselbrand  Spells 4 x Tragic Slip  2 x Ultimate Price  2 x Victim of Night  2 x Murder  4 x Sign in Blood  4 x Mutilate  Sideboard 1 x Victim of Night 1 x Ultimate Price 1 x Murder 4 x Grafdigger's Cage  4 x Witchbane Orb  4 x Duress

Thank you Zephyr77. I will make sure to use that in future posts, and I will look for the tutorial as well...I am still a newbie to this site and I was in a rush to post this in hopes for an answer before my next FNM tournament.

A few problems I'm seeing with this deck is that it doesn't have the land necessary to maintain it properly. I think that you should add a couple more. Maybe take out the Dark Impostor s to add them. Another issue is creatures. Your lowest-cost creature still takes 3 mana to get on the battlefield. Add something like Rakdos Cackler  or Diregraf Ghoul  to start scoring damage as soon as possible. Also, your deck, at least by my count, has 61 cards in it. It's not illegal to do that, but it's not advised to go over 60.

I second this recommendation. The FAQ on tags is here:
Magic Area FAQ: Posting Tags
[Scroll down to: "How do I make card links?" and "How do I use deck tags?"]
