I don't even know.

This just happened.

I randomly looked at the U/B enchantments that exist, determined to build U/B that didn't involve Mill or Clone spells. I found the following:

Breathstealer's Crypt -- Draw pain for those with a lot of creatures.

Vile Consumption -- More pain for those who use creatures. Pay or die.

Seer's Vision -- PermaPeek and spot discard.

Unfulfilled Desires -- Draw power, and beautiful art.

What I ended up building was a suicide black strategy, but it didn't feel right, building around sacrificing creatures when chances are I might not have to.

So I added in some old friends...

The key strategy now revolves around having one creature on the battlefield and only ever one to take advantage of Homicidal Seclusion and Deadly Wanderings -- One creature means less things to deal with in the long run like Breathstealer's Crypt and Vile Consumption

The few creatures I do run all have ways of sticking around and making things easier, let alone any creature with Lifelink from either of the lonely enchantments.

I would like to make this a more dedicated voltron strategy, and I'm debating as to whether Wydwen or Lazav would be better as the Commander, so any advice on that front is greatly appreciated.
