I've not had too much problem with being short on land the few games I've played with this so far. I usually do a partial mulligan to keep mostly/only land and ramp, maybe a single card draw card.

Since Mana Leak is your jam:
Wizard Replica, Spiketail Hatchling, and Cursecatcher work well-ish on offense with your commander.
Power Sink is fun when you don't want them casting anything else.

Library of Leng essentially gives you unlimited hand size since you never have to discard down to 7 (or whatever your handsize is). You simply don't discard since you don't have a discard phase, it does not technically effect your hand size.
It also works well when some one casts Windfall or even your own effects like cycling or cards like Frantic Search. You may also discard what you don't want to your graveyard but discard what you do want to the top of your library to draw again. It tends to be a strangely useful and underapreciated card.

Thank you for your detailed explanation, that makes a lot of sense. That's such a great synergy! At the risk of further exposing my ignorance, how does Victory Chimes commit a crime to work with your commander?
Targeting opponents, anything they control and/or cards in their graveyards, is a crime
Perhaps I'm missing it (like the Hex Parasite), where is the word "target" on victory chimes? I'm looking at the oracle text and I don't see the word target, it just says "a player of your choice."

Hey Profet93, yeah I can explain!
Basically, Hex Parasite's activated requires you to pay a (in our case, we'd opt for the 2 life most of the time) and amount of mana to remove X counters from a target. The key here is that unlike some newer cards, Hex Parasite does NOT say that X must be greater than zero.
That means we can pay 2 life for the phyrexian black, and 0 mana fr X to remove 0 counters from TARGET permenant. This is important because the targetting of opponents creatures is what we're after here. The same premise works for Retribution of the Ancients where you pay a to activate and remove 0 counters from permenants you control to give target creature -0/-0. The ability still resolves as normal even though nothing 'happens'. Gisa of course does have something happen from this targeting though.
So ideally you play U-Saga turn 1-2, ramp on turn 2-3, get Hex Parasite and cast Gisa on turn 4, and by turn 5 have Gisa, HP, and 8 zombie tokens for the price of 8 life.
All that said, I think Victory Chimes is the best Gisa trigger in the deck since you don't hurt yourself using it and it has no mana cost to activate AND you can use it on every single player's turn. It's just harder to get out due to cmc and not tutorable with U-Saga

Took me too long to realize how March of Swirling Mist helps the deck.
If you have the Triskaidekaphile and The Pride of Hull Clade out with 5 mana (3 blue) ready. And you can get the Pride through for damage untouched (maybe with Escape Tunnel). You can arrange to draw 15 cards from the Pride's ability. Then if you have that last blue mana ready and a March in hand, you can at instant speed probably find a few blue cards in hand to dump to get down to the 13 card hand and the Trisk's auto-win ability.
So I'm putting a couple Marches in.

Brother, I appreciate the support of the clan.
Oona's Blackguard is a solid card, particularly when played with Bitterblossom or a Rogue-engine. Paired with Ninjas it does lose some of its spice. Oona Blackguard wants to remain on the field, as do the Creatures you +1/+1 for player damage + handrips. Unfortunately both Oona + Ninjas require player damage for proc, leading to only ever getting 1/2 value. Ninja value EtB (Enter the battlefield) effects, since they get to use them more than once.
If no EtB, cards proc'ing on attack like Dreadhorde Arcanist have an ideal setup for Ninjas, getting an /attack/ + /player combat damage/ value.

I’m loving what you have got going so far! I suggest considering these cards for your deck: Darkblast, for mill purposes primarily, but it can always help clear the field of any 1/1 chaff or give you an unexpected edge in a fight; Stinkweed Imp, this is primarily a defensive card, but it’s got a very useful Dredge 5 mechanic. Cauldron's Gift, since you are monoblack; Millikin, to help you cast Ringwraiths; Corpse Churn; Mesmeric Orb, this card is certainly too expensive to really be an option but I saw it and thought I’d mention it.

Thanks a bunch, RiotRunner789! Very useful advice! I'm keeping Graceful Adept so that if it ever happens, I can make it use Prosthetic Injector. But Library of Leng doesn't affect the hand size does it? Like, what happens if I have more than 7 cards and skip my discard phase? Admiral's Order is great! Same with Dissipate and Unwind! However, I do enjoy cards that tie up mana the most. It's a win-win because if they choose not to pay the cost, they end up losing their card. And, if they can't that's also good. Not just that, but also if they do pay the cost, it makes it to where they can't spend much mana on anything else.

I also don't really understand Fog or Spore Frog but I know you like politics so maybe they'll be fun in order to get favours from people. Loads of card draw which is nice but again I can see you running out of creatures to sac for Village Rites and Deadly Dispute type cards. You generally need to draw cards while behind and while behind you might be suffering from graveyard hate agaist your skeletons or other effects - just something to consider. Also Damnation might be something to consider switching for a different boardwioe if you are gonna put some regenerate creatures in (Toxic Deluge turns off regenerate aswell - but it's such a good card it's probably worth it)
In terms of cuts to make to make space for more dummies, Shadow in the Warp doesn't really fit much in the deck - you have so many cheap creatures that you'll probably be casting more than one a turn and it will rarely help that much - and the 2 damage is pretty insignificant compared to your other effects. I would favour Llanowar Elves type cards over Fertile Ground as again, creatures are what you want and they give you the oppurtunity to sac them if you need.
Some good cards to consider:
Victimize - brings back your Sakura-Tribe Elder type cards and is a sac outlet at the same time
Kroxa, Titan of Death's Hunger - just great value aswell as triggering Bhaal. A good reanimator target aswell.
Recurring Nightmares - Reanimator + sac outlet + it doesn't die? This card's great.
Dread Wanderer? Not the best but helps you out in a pinch if you have a Village Rites and nothing else
Nether Traitor - I don't know why this isn't in there already

Hey man, Looks cool. A couple cards I'm not a huge fan of here, like Smothering Abomination and Greater Good. Abomination is slow and because you're not running a token deck you will often have to sac creatures you dont want to as it's not a may sac. Greater good I'm not really understanding as you have very few creatures with greater than 3 power - it will rarely actually net you cards. A more general criticism is the number of creatures. You have 26/100 creatures and only 4 that come back when you kill them. Maybe consider more regenerate creatures like Mortivore or something like Bloodghast that will come back without you needing mana open. Also you're such a creature focused deck and I can see you running out quickly (part of the reason I don't like Smothering Abomination).

With Marwyn as your commander, you'll want to be careful with shroud (looking at Eladamri, Lord of Leaves). Shroud affects both you and your opponents. Therefore, Marwyn can't become the target of "Untap target creature" when Eladamri is out on the field. Personally, I like Asceticism for protection.

I'd swap Graceful Adept for Library of Leng. Cheaper, harder to remove, and added bonus against discard.
Cancel for any other counterspell. There are plenty of 1UU with upside such as personal favorite of mine, Admiral's Order. Rewind, Dissipate, Unwind and Negate are also solid budget options. Personally not a fan of Mana Leak-esk counters since if an opponent has a ton of Mana, they become useless. Also, Defense Grid is an odd choice for a blue deck since it hurts your own counters on your opponents turn.
I'd consider trying to find room for a card or cards like Coastal Piracy, Bident of Thassa, and The Indomitable.
Single protection to consider, Mithril Coat is amazing, Commander's Plate always pulls a ton of weight in mon color (may hurt commander's unblockable agaimst another monoblue but otherwise really helps), Dive Down not amazing, just a pet card when it was in standard.

Hidden Retreat and Penance would allow you to streamline your mana base and make the deck less clunky. Also Dust Bowl.
Harsh Mercy tribal destruction.
This deck desperately needs haste. I see your creatures are streamlined so no Anger but an artifact, enchantment and/or land seems crucial.
