Whiplash, Vengeful Engineer

Whiplash is a low-cost Villain engine that turns Equipment into a repeatable life drain. You're building a mono-black Equipment deck where each attack triggers massive life loss for opponents while you gain life, creating a slow but relentless clock. The key is ramping into cheap Equipment early—cards like Hawkeye's Bow and Unstable Molecule Suit come down fast and instantly make Whiplash lethal. As you stack more Equipment, each attack becomes a bigger drain, and the life gain keeps you safe while you chip away at opponents' totals.

Your win condition is grinding opponents down through attack damage plus the triggered life loss. You'll use black's artifact synergies and Plan enchantments like Doom Reigns Supreme to generate value while equipping up. The deck is forgiving because it doesn't need complex combos—just play mana rocks, play Equipment, equip Whiplash, attack, and watch opponents lose life. Plan cards give you additional payoffs and counter-based incentives to stay on the offensive, making the strategy tick even when Whiplash is dealt with.
