A deck based around Phyrexian Obliterator

Up Votes are appreciated if you liked the deck! :D (Clicking this upvotes the deck)

Trying my best to make this a modern deck that could hold its own against even against tier 1 decks, if you have opinions on what to change please voice them I am trying to make this as constant as possible. The biggest struggle of this deck is holding its own against affinity. If you have any suggestions to this problem please let me know.

The Deck Show

Why Phyrexian Obliterator? Show

Funny enough, even though I love Phyrexian Obliterator I never actually built it because I liked the card, I build this deck because I randomly acquired 3 Obliterators and had a strange thought of building a deck around it. At first it was Jund Obliterator then Rakdos, and finally decided to stay with mono black for the best consistancies.

Creatures Show

I try to use the best and most efficient mono black creatures that run great in this deck. Mainly creatures with a big body and that has some sort of evasiveness.

• Phyrexian Obliterator: No real need for explenation here, Phyrexian Obliterator is a hefty 5/5 trampler for 4 mana and just because everyone loves to burn/block Phyrexian Obliterator it he kinda has his own defences effect, and to top it off do you think your opponent is gonna wanna swing non-flyers with this out? Also pairs great with Lashwrithe.

• Kalitas, Traitor of Ghet: With all of the killspells running around in mainboard Kalitas, Traitor of Ghet loves to get a big army going, and his lifelink helps make up for the life loss made up from cards like Thoughtseize and Dismember.

• Tombstalker : Since I have no reanimation in this deck whatsoever this makes a good cheap 5/5 flyer.

• Geralf's Messenger: A good beater and you gain value as soon as it comes out, synergizes well with Kalitas, Traitor of Ghet by sacking Geralf's Messenger into kalitas to do 2 damage to an oppenent and put 2 counters on Kalitas, Traitor of Ghet.

Spells Show

This deck has a lot of killspells and a lot of Thoughtseize effect spells to disrupt your opponent's plan long enough to take away the game.

Thoughtseize: This deck cannot live without thoughtseize, it hits what your killspells cannot (Artifacts, Enchantments, Instants, Sorceries, Planeswalkers.) This this also gives you ton of information on what your opponent's plan is and what you should do next to counteract and disrupt their plan.

Inquisition of Kozilek: Being just as importain as Thoughtseize is, Inquisition of Kozilek is quite often is even better. There is no better turn 1 in this deck than a turn 1 Inquisition of Kozilek, it disrupts your oppenents early game and could potentially save your creature from cards like Path to Exile in the later game.

Duress: Nearly just as good as Thoughtseize and Inquisition of Kozilek a very relevant discard spell.

Sign in Blood: One of mono black's biggest weakness is probably it's lack of draw power this is the best draw spell for mono black that I can find. I was even considering on putting in 2 Watery Grave for Ancestral Vision, but I wasn't sure if that would mess with my deck's mana consistancy or not.

Liliana of the Veil: Good planeswalker for removal and discard. A solid card for this deck.
