Neat deck! I had something similar in MTGA but I used Grixis colors for efficient draw and better multi-creature burn spells.

Mono black doesn’t have much access to direct creature burn spells, but there are a few that I’ve found that would be a good fit for your deck. Pharika's Cure is just a strictly better Last Kiss and Wail of the Nim pairs very well with Pestilent Spirit as a field wipe that can also protect your own creatures.

King saproling! Thanks so much for the upvote and suggestions! lets start on the positives, Strata Scythe , Not of This World , Aphotic Wisps , Expedition Map , Eternal Thirst , Blade of the Bloodchief , and Sadistic Glee are all amazing! ill put them into my maybeboard for consideration! they all fit the theme of the deck super well, but the deck is kind of tightly packed as it is, so itll be hard to incorporate them. the other cards are alright in some cases, but the Glaring Spotlight i already have enough anti hexproof with the two lands and shadowspear, Hatred isnt honorable! it one shots my opponent, but then i paid a whole lot of life and i only kill 1 person, so eh. Necrologia for the same reason of paying a lot of life, and then Tsabo's Decree , Wail of the Nim and Manascape Refractor all feel a little underwhelming, but thanks for the suggestions! have a good one!

Shiki No Uta is a jam!! Check out the song "Books of War" by Omegah Red/MF Doom when you have a chance, I think you'll like it.

And nice deck, great choice of basic lands haha. These might interest you: Glaring Spotlight, Strata Scythe, Hatred, Necrologia, Tsabo's Decree, Not of This World, Aphotic Wisps, Wail of the Nim, Manascape Refractor, Expedition Map, Eternal Thirst, Blade of the Bloodchief, Sadistic Glee

You are missing Wail of the Nim in black or am I incorrect?

Snuff Out would be better than Terror, I think.

This seems like a good deck for Tortured Existence. It would allow you to reuse some of your more useful ETB/LTB triggers.

Krosan Tusker is a very overlooked draw spell. It's a 3-mana, instant speed, uncounterable Divination in Green that guarantees you a land. I would play it over Bequeathal.

Carrion Feeder is pretty much the best sac outlet out there, in my opinion. It should really be in this list somewhere.

With all the saccing you're doing, I think Mortician Beetle could give you a lot of free value. It also counts the opponent's sacrifices, so it works well with something like Slum Reaper or Abyssal Gatekeeper.

Wail of the Nim is a good, versatile boardwipe that can feel one-sided. I would play this over Sandstorm, which can be a bit narrow.

With all your ramp and Ashnod's Altar, you could support a very big Death Denied, which could take the place of some of your worse draw.

Gangrenous Zombies seems like a better choice for you than most of your boardwipes, even without snow-covered lands (if you want to save some money, just get 3-5 snow-covered swamps and fetch them out).

You might like these: Thrashing Wumpus , Pestilence Demon , Scythe of the Wretched , Pyrohemia , Blazing Volley , Boiling Earth , Scouring Sands , Syr Carah, the Bold , Dry Spell , Wail of the Nim , Blade of the Bloodchief , Eternal Thirst , Infernal Genesis , Genesis Chamber , Akroan Horse

Gravecrawler, Death Baron, Obelisk of Urd, Call to the Grave, Raving Dead, Zombie Master, Rite of Replication.

Runed Stalactite makes your boss a zombie for zombie bonuses.

Your zombies will die. Your boss can bring back zombies. You have to protect your boss in case of multiple exiles. Alexi's Cloak effectively counters whatever was going to kill him then gives him shroud. Neurok Stealthsuit can do the same. Swiftfoot Boots etc.

No Rest for the Wicked and Wail of the Nim protect from board wipes (mostly saving your boss so he has mana to bring back a couple creatures instead of being recast).

Does that planeswalker actually help?

Actually, I included Wail of the Nim over something like Dry Spell because of the regenerate part... there are a lot of 1/1's, so I thought it would be kind of detrimental to kill them off like that, and maintaining a big board state is necessary for Gempalm Polluter and Shepherd of Rot to be as effective as possible. But idk, I'll try it.
