Getting close... —April 29, 2013
Okay, so the Swords weren't very good in the side at all -- this deck should stick to what it does best, making them discard and hitting them in the face. To that end, I added one Desecration Demon as another finisher (they rarely have many creatures out, because they've discarded them all).
I also switched the Sign in Blood to Blood Scrivener, because I think that synergizes well with the deck (also, props to forgetremembering below, who called Scrivener way before Dragon's Maze was released) in that ideally [i]neither[/i] of us will have cards in hand, and it won't hurt me if I draw Tombstalker.
Finally, I settled on two Tectonic Edge in the mainboard and one more in the side, because a lot Modern of decks run non-basics (almost all of them) and it's still very possible to play Phyrexian Obliterator with 20 Swamps.
Sounds very interesting... in fact, your comment inspired me to take a crack at another deck. I'm going to keep this one intact, but I based ZombiePox on Smallpox and Dredge decks. It's a lot of fun to play, and has actually done pretty well so far (at least on Cockatrice). I'm also thinking about making that one mono B... I wonder if I just like mono B too much.

Mortivore is a must if your opponent's graveyards are getting bigger.

I believe Liliana's Caress would benefit this deck exponentially. It is legal in modern according to magiccards.info

Dark Confidant is wanted in a deck with a low mana curve. In this deck he isn't so hot.
Have you considered making this GB, with a more "Rock" like feel? Currently, gifts runs a similar package with Life from the Loam and Raven's Crime .
So basically, you would be able to strip their hand repeatedly and play better creatures in GB to beat face with, and have better removal.
Sound intresting?
