how do you feel about Bloodghast in this deck? it's a fantastic combo with Kalastria Highborn and Viscera Seer + fetchlands for multiple triggers

+1 from me either way!

@TheSimikBOat: Thanks for your suggestions!

• Savvy Hunter : When Food tokens came out, I was reminded of my experience with Clue tokens in this deck, which was very underwhelming, so I didn't test any of the cards in here. But you sound convinced, so I will test it (and also Gilded Goose and Witch's Oven , which also seem kind of promising to me).
• Korvold, Fae-Cursed King : Yeah, I want to run him (maybe instead of Kothophed, Soul Hoarder ), but he's a little too expensive right now.
• Sek'Kuar, Deathkeeper : I tried it when I still ran Bloodghast , Nether Traitor and Reassembling Skeleton and even then it did very little. Right now, I mostly only want to sac tokens... Fun fact: The first iteration of my Shadowborn Apostle deck ran Sek'Kuar as commander, which worked quite well, but then I made it Abzan...

Hey, nice budget version of mono black.

Budget cards to consider adding:

• Buried Alive : tutor for three creatures and reanimation enabler. Good with Golgari Thug and Bloodghast , etc.
• Phyresis : enchant Konrad and any damage he does to your opponents is poison counters instead of normal damage. A player only needs 20 poison counters to lose the game which is easier to do then having to do 40 or more damage to each opponent.
• Altar of Dementia : sac outlet, repeatable self mill, repeatable opponent mill, does it all just by sacing a creature.
• Mausoleum Secrets : instant tutor.
• Viscera Seer and/or Carrion Feeder : one mana sac outlets.
• Defile : one mana instant creature removal.
• Mutilate : four drop board wipe.
• Victimize : reanimation.
• Bojuka Bog : exile an opponents graveyard.

Cards to consider cutting:

• 2x Swamp
• Vicious Rumors
• Eye Collector
• Pit Keeper
• Hedonist's Trove
• Soul of Innistrad
• Urgoros, the Empty One
• Davriel, Rogue Shadowmage

i would consider Bloodghast or Gravecrawler .... maybe Cauldron Familiar with Witch's Oven or perhaps Festering Newt + Bubbling Cauldron + Bogbrew Witch ?

no problem.

Another suggestion: Bloodghast (if in a pinch you can sacrifice this vampire and bring him back from the graveyard next time you place a land )

Also if you get do sacrifice (backing or otherwise) or kill a lot I suggest (and since i don't see any removal) you should consider adding Tragic Slip (if you manage to do a lot of baking this card is easy to cast for its morbid effect)

Hi Tejas! The fetchlands are critically important to the efficiency of this deck. The MVP is Bloodghast . With the fetchlands, I have the ability to bring all the Bloodghasts back twice within a single turn.

Evolving Wilds slows this deck considerably. And since this is a death and taxes style deck, losing 1 life for the fetchlands is a price not even worth noting.

However, if you're considered about budget, you may consider Fabled Passage or Evolving Wilds . I understand; as this deck sits now, it's way over my budget. But as I described in my description, I've been building and improving this deck since day 1, since it has evolved from my very first deck ever. All the high-cost cards have been slowly (excruciatingly) accumulated over the years.

I think Gifted Aetherborn is your best option since Bloodghast isn't legal.

As for the 3 drop slot, since there is no Geralf's Messenger in Pioneer. I would consider Liliana, the Last Hope in that slot or Herald of Torment I think Nightveil Specter is okay at best.

If it were me trying to make a modern deck around Blood Funnel , I'd use Bloodghast , Prized Amalgam and friends as sacrifice fodder for a toolbox of answers to find with Dark Petition .
