Deck Description

An assassin deck, which I'm sure has been done before, but this is my attempt at it.
Icy manipulator to tap creatures so the assassins can get them.
Unholy strength combo with Kiku's Shadow or Kiku to kill most anything
Tutor to get either Phage or Kiku when I need them.
Reiver Demon to clear everything out of my way.

Update:
Added Whispersilk Cloak for use with Phage
Sideboarded Reiver Demon (good idea guys)
Sideboarded some other assassins and added Murderous Redcap, Scareblade Elite, and Rathi Trapper
Sideboarded one Liliana Vess and added a second copy of Kiku.

Deck discussion for Assassinated

If you're already killing all of your opponent's creatures, I don't see a point to Reiver Demon other than a really big creature that costs an obnoxious amount of mana. I'd get rid of those for more creature tapping, such as Rathi Trapper. I'd also take out one of each Nekrataal, Nightshade Assassin, and Royal Assassin for Scarblade Elite. Personally, I would sideboard the rest of the Nekrataal unless your opponent is playing really large non-black, non-artifact creatures and put in Murderous Redcap instead. It's not an instant kill, but it hurts more creatures, can hit your opponent, and is harder to get rid of. If you're emphasizing Kiku, I'd get at least 1 more. Finally, a Raise Dead-type card will make sure you can always eliminate your opponent's creature. The rest of the deck looks pretty good.

Thanks, looking back, Revier Demon really isn't the best card to put in. I was thinking of using it in Combo with Liliana Vess, but there'll already be a ton of creatures in the graveyard, so I guess it doesn't relly matter. I think I should put something in to make Phage unblockable, like maybe a Whispersilk Cloak. As for Kiku, with 4 diabloical tutors, I should be able to get her (or Phage)whenever I want.

the reiver demon is great card, you should sideboard it instead of maindecking it and use it agains hoard/token decks. i also feel you should put in more cards that would tap opponents creatures, making them easier to kill and preventing them from taking any shots at you. look into cards like Koskun Falls, midnight charm, mind whip, Paralyze,Rathi Trapper, or words of binding

You need 4 royal assassins and more assassins in an assassin deck. I would take out 2-3 of the Diabolic tutors. They slow you down too much at 4 mana apiece. Throw in 1 Demonic tutor and more Dark rituals.

I'd run Sorin Markov over Liliana Vess and I'd run 2 of them.
