I think what I'm missing so far are a few ramp cards, and maybe a few more artifacts? (I don't think it's a full deck, only 45 cards, if I did the math right) Possibly bigger creatures to build up mana for while I use smaller stuff like Child of Night or anything small just to block.

Archtype-of-Finality Was just something fun to pick up because everything gets death touch. Thought about running four of those in a deck that can make tokens swarm the field. Just a fun deck to play.

I'd love some honest feedback as to whether this deck would be really fun to play, or if maybe even with a few tweaks, could it be sort of "lower level competitive" - not going to Las Vegas for a tournament - but maybe have a chance at winning at local gaming stores or with friends. I'll also load up the beginnings of my Mono Red because it's semi burn, and I'd like a bit of "bring out the big dragons".

For my mono black, I intend on adding 3x Despise, 2x Hero's Downfall, 3x Thoughtseize, and some lands that can let me search for my basic swamps.

Thoughts, suggestions, or fun stuff to do - always appreciated!
