Hybrid mana is okay as long it has only one of each mana symbol. For example, Nip Gwyllion would be legal, and I'm pretty sure that Daemogoth Woe-Eater would also be legal (because the Black, Green, and hybrid black/green are all distinct mana symbols). Having two identical mana symbols makes a card illegal with Jegantha.

Apollo_Paladin on A sweet ass B/W deck

I, for one, would update this deck's Format to Legacy. I don't see a single Vintage-only card in this build, and I think it's safe to say it wouldn't stand a chance against a genuinely competitive Vintage build (really, Vintage isn't really played outside of special events/playgroups anymore).

Anytime I click on a Vintage build, I expect to see a lot of the Restricted list Vintage-Legal cards like Black Lotus , Sol Ring , Strip Mine , etc.

That said, I like the theme, it reminds me of a winning Pauper build I did for Friday Night Magics back when they were still a big thing (pre-Covid). It's so strong (using the exact same Nip Gwyllion / Edge of the Divinity combo) that it's actually stood up against some non-Pauper builds even; you can give it a look if you want: Sick Pauper Divinity Rush.

One key thing I'd look at in my build is Nightsky Mimic & Mourning Thrull , who along the same lines as Nip Gwyllion, combo amazingly with Edge of the Divinity.

Darksteel Myr is to slow.. Oketra does the same for 1 Mana more, but much much better.

You need Cheap Removal like Fatal Push , Path to Exile or Dismember , so you can kill much faster.

As one Drops I recommend Inquisition of Kozilek or Thoughtseize for handdisruption or Nip Gwyllion , Serra Ascendant or Typhoid Rats for an early drop.

Honor of the Pure doesn't hit all of your creatures, Glistening Oil slows you down and Infet Odric doesn't share Infect. So therefore Raise the Alarm won't do much.

Swiftfoot Boots also slows you down. You want to play creatures to share their static abilitys. So stick with creatures, creature removal, hand disruption.

Aerial Responder is like a white Nighthawk. Crested Sunmare for indestructible and many horse tokens, since you have a havy lifelink base.

Nip Gwyllion combos extremely well with Edge of the Divinity . Mine isn't a Pauper build, but I run both of those in my B/W Vampire deck and I've found his strength to match quite well with my uncommon/rare options. He's a great turn 1 drop.

Mourning Thrull is another good common option to consider that I run along with Edge.

Tithe Drinker could be another good choice, as his ability is significantly cheaper and more useful than Acolyte of Xathrid . Seems like a pretty decent Pauper build tho all in all - kudos! +1

well Cabal Stronghold only works with basics so urborg does not help with that but you might already know that. anyway, Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx is great in this sort of mono black deck with a lot of devotion. Nip Gwyllion is also a really weak card in the deck compared to what you could have. something like Banehound would be better but even that is probably not the best card but at least an improvement.

I have a Lifelink-based creature deck that is largely (though not all) Vampires. One of the best additions I made to the deck was a creature I see you're already running 4 of, Nip Gwyllion . He pairs extremely well with Edge of the Divinity . Running 4 copies of each I regularly have games where I get both in-hand off the draw and can start swinging with a 4/4 Lifelink on Turn 2. Might be something for ya to consider.

Love lifegain!

Ajani's Pridemate could help you add some power to your board.

Radiant Fountain is another lifegain land you could use.

I would also recommend adding some 1-drops to the deck. I know it doesn't seem like much but having something to do on each turn can make your deck much more powerful. For this I would recommend Soul Warden and Soul's Attendant and Ajani's Welcome and Children of Korlis and Genju of the Fields and Goldenglow Moth and Leonin Vanguard and Nip Gwyllion and Pride Guardian and Soulmender .

Hope this helps!

I know you are probably sick of suggestions but I recommend adding 2 Karlov of the Ghost Council and here is why, your deck seems that it has no response for indestructible creatures with Karlov of the Ghost Council you would especially since you have Nip Gwyllion and Mourning Thrull. as far as what to take out I think 2 Necrotic Sliver would be a good idea its up to you though.
