Need help with fine-tuning this deck. I knew from the first time I glanced over at Ruthless Sniper, I knew what I wanted to build. I'm Utilizing Cards that place -1/-1 Counters on creatures to either Destroy them with Crumbling Ashes, move a counter onto another creature with Blowfly Infestation, and necro them back with Necroskitter all while pumping out Snakes using Hapatra.

ALL ADVICE IS WELCOME! (Seriously, even If you just want to say this deck Idea sucks and I should stop playing Magic, I'll take it into consideration and cry myself to sleep. :) )

I like to think this is a very Synergistic deck for example:Call the Bloodline + Hapatra, Vizier of Poisons + Ruthless Sniper Nets you 2 Tokens for 2 mana and a -1/-1 counter on a creature of your choice. This may not seem like a lot but even ONE -1/-1 counter can do some serious Damage for Example: Creature with -1/-1 Counter + Crumbling Ashes + Necroskitter Now gives you one of their creatures every upkeep. pair that with Blowfly Infestation to keep giving their creatures -1/-1 counters to fuel the combo WHILE simultaneously making 1/1 Snake tokens if Hapatra, Vizier of Poisons is out.

Another Powerful combo is Kulrath Knight + Midnight Banshee , You put a -1/-1 counter on each non-black creature (which gives you green creatures with Vizier which may seem counterintuitive BUT thats why you have The Scorpion God to give you draws.) Banshee and Kulrath lock down your opponents creatures, rendering them unable to Attack or Block.

More Combos that I have found: Obelisk Spider + Hapatra, Vizier of Poisons + Blowfly Infestation + Black Sun's Zenith = One Dead Opponent.
