One more thing I think....

I like Urborg Uprising or Wander in Death over Soul Strings.

In a super limited format you need to net as much bang for your buck as possible. The cycling with Wander in Death can help a lot in a pinch. Also the draw from Urborg Uprising is super nice.

I always try to play spells in pEDH that give me options. I feel that you are going to be paying close to the cost for the above noted spells when you attempt to cast Soul Strings anyway that the hard cast costs make sense even though they are a bit more than Soul Strings. pEDH games tend to last a while so accumulating the larger amounts of mana required to cast those spells is no skin off your back. In pEDH it's more about gaining control mid to late game rather than in the beginning.

I am trying to build my own mono-black deck and couldn't resist seeing what you've done here. I didn't quite understand what you were trying to from looking at the cards and your description. I've been out of Magic for 15 years and only slowly picking things back up.

I kept looking for some way to bring cycle creatures back from the graveyard. But it doesn't seem like the deck is built to do that outside of the Driver of the Dead. I will say that after playtesting the deck once I quickly saw how quick you could pump the Carrion Feeder and was quite impressed. I like the synergy with some of the cards, especially Sultai Emissary.

However, I can't help but feel like this deck needs something like Ghoulcaller's Chant, Disturbed Burial, Death's Duet, Soul Strings or Shattered Crypt. Maybe something like Innocent Blood would be interesting as well. These are ideas off the top of my head. I'd like to see if there is a pauper creature that returns creatures from graveyard in a useful fashion too. I'll keep thinking about this...
