I wasn't sure what your budget per card is but this should hopefully not break the bank. I can recommend cuts should you wish

Feed the Swarm - Enchantment removal

Mind Twist - Note it states random, especially effective if ramped into in the early game. Also useful as counterspell bait.

Night's Whisper - Draw

Nightmare Unmaking - Versatile wipe

Sheoldred's Edict/Hero's Downfall - PW Removal

Bubbling Muck - Ramp! Highly recommended. Especially because you're not running urborg

Ill-Gotten Gains - Up to you, could be useful, could backfire.

Barter in Blood - Mass sacrifice

Have you thought about Barter in Blood, Pelakka Predation  Flip, Torment of Hailfire, and Distended Mindbender?

Also, Geier Reach Sanitarium seems ugly in this deck.

Finally, Acererak the Archlich is a bit of a strange inclusion, but given that it can venture into Tomb of Annihilation and try to force discards and sacrifices, it seems really good.

Hey there! Mushroom time is party time with these fun guys.

Okay to make up for the horrible pun I'm going to give some suggestions. You have a lot of spore counter buildup here, and these need cultivating time to reap the rewards. I'd recommend more Proliferate to accelerate how many spore counters you can get. You currently have three accelerants, Winding Constrictor, Karn's Bastion and Sporesower Thallid in the deck. How about Grim Affliction, Spread the Sickness, Plaguemaw Beast, Smell Fear, Evolution Sage, and Throne of Geth?

What is Tainted Strike in the deck for at the moment? It doesn't look like you capitalize on wither or poison counters with this deck, so I wouldn't route the deck down that road.

The Elvish Farmer is a nice spore counter addition, but card cost is high for something you can live without.

Would having a Barter in Blood interest you? I've noticed you don't have as many Black cards in the deck, and it'd be useful for more sac opportunities that also hurt your opponent.

I am all for budget decks and think this looks very promising without breaking the bank. Good job and happy harvesting.

I wouldn't ever use Tajuru Preserver unless you have multiple players running Grave Pact in your meta. Even then, it's gotta be one of their more prevalent strategies, so if you don't see mass sac effects almost every game it's a pretty useless card.

Also, All Is Dust is pretty good. Barter in Blood is also scary if you run 0 or tons of creatures.

Daedalus19876 thanks for the comments!

Vito, Thorn of the Dusk Rose - Yes! Probably the card I’m most excited about to come from Core 2021, definitely will slot him in.

Hatred - Can pull off a few unexpected wins with Hatred in hand. My deck currently has managed to be completely modern bordered, I think aesthetically, if it got reprinted, I’d reconsider slotting it in hehe

Barter in Blood - I used to run this actually when I first started with a mono black vampire deck. It is great thematically, it’s just unfortunately probably too weak in comparison to a similarly costed board wipe. Depending on my playgroup, I may slot it back in.

I think that as my curve starts to lower, I could consider cutting a land like you mentioned, but I feel like I’d need more changes to have more ramp and draw at the lower end to compensate. I’d have to do more play testing to know whether it’s still consistent enough. I’ve generally brewed with 37-38 lands, so that’s what I’m used to and comfortable with in general lol

The new Vito, Thorn of the Dusk Rose seems like he'd fit amazingly here. Hatred is an awesome card with Elenda, since you gain the life back immediately from the lifelink :) Barter in Blood seems very thematic, while also working well! Finally, I'd think you could survive with one less land. You aren't running much recursion/reanimation, though that might be from the lack of vampire themed reanimation...

This was my Elenda deck once upon a time, btw, if it helps at all!
