Did you consider any activated ability cost reducers to make X’s ability more repeatable? Like Heartstone, Thran Turbine or even Training Grounds?

While your avg cmc is very low, have you considered Urza's Incubator for ramp or Skullclamp for draw?

Contamination is fun with reassembling skeleton and Infernal Darkness is a nicer version.

Deserted Temple - To untap coffers or be a political tool.

Thespian's Stage - To copy coffer or opposing utility lands.

Arcane Signet > Felwar stone

Feed the Swarm - Easiest answer to RIP.

Heartstone - Might be worth it with all ur activated abilities

Ha great concept. What do you think of these? Luck Bobblehead, Powerstone Shard, Heartstone, Five Hundred Year Diary, Victory Chimes, Lithoform Engine, Adric, Mathematical Genius, Drift of Phantasms

Creature cheats always fun. Heartstone would br amazing in here with this commander. Agatha of the Vile Cauldron as well, especially if she can be buffed. Tutoring for these cards would also be a big plus.

I'll take a closer look later but how about Heartstone?

Sheoldred, the Apocalypse - Offsets commander lifeloss, great against blue/draw decks. Deathtouch is nice. Synergy with Peer into the Abyss (which also goes well with underworld dreams).

MAYBE Heartstone? - I'm unsure if this works with your commander only if he's a creature or even if he's just an enchantment.

Cabal Coffers - Ramp. Cabal Stronghold is more budget.

Deserted Temple - Untap coffers + politics

MAYBE Rings of Brighthearth - Copy commander ability without paying life. Also Coffers + Deserted temple + rings = {INFINITY}{B}. Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth - Makes you need less swamps but is not budget (or needed, but helpful).

Imp's Mischief - "Counter" counterspells while redirecting targeted removal, extra turns and draw.

Necropotence - Draw

I am unsure what your wincon is, beatdown? You lose a lot of life with your commander's ability. Perhaps a The Meathook Massacre could help as a wipe + lifegain effect?

Diabolic Tutor/Beseech the Queen/Beseech the Mirror. Tutors are black's biggest strength, utilize it for consistency.

Alhammarret's Archive - Extra draw

Black's 3rd biggest strength is massive mana. Aside from coffers, Crypt Ghast, Nirkana Revenant, Caged Sun, Gauntlet of Power

Once you determine your wincon, you can start to mold the deck to achieving that goal.

EDIT: Removed the non-budget options

Thran Dynamo + Unwinding Clock untap your Iso's and their power supply's. As I don't see a Sol Ring anywhere im thinking your local group does not run them. Use a Thran instead as a single copy will power all 3 Scepters if your running Heartstone.

GoodGuyAlex Training Grounds and even Heartstone don’t work with the ability unfortunately
