This is the counter part of optimizing characters or parties.
You have a table full optimized character for combat, with magic itens and so. Now you're the DM and need to plan a combat encounter to compete with the power level of the players without put a massive amoung of XP (like 2x or more deadly encounter table).

How take the best of a monster group combining they qualities?
Things like a drow casting darkness for they demons allies and a balgura casting entangle in player inside darkness.
Or a demilich in antimagic field that make him invulnerable.

What are your good options to optimizing monster's group? You're the DM, you can combine the mobsters with traps and terrain features.
