MNM 3rd Place 11/25/14 —Nov. 25, 2014
Went 2-1 in mnm last light against 8 other players.
Round 1
Against what can be best described as "budget Jeskai control" . Most of his damage came from Vaporkin and Bile Blight took care of that problem. In the second game I sustained myself with Whip of Erebos even when he used singing bell stike on both of my Herald of Torment while taking damage from Pain Seer. The lifelink really made the difference is sustaining me in the long run. 2-0
Round 2
Was against a 4 color super friends deck. I've played this opponent before, it's simply a matter in how fast he can start to sustain himself off of Sorin, Solemn Visitor, or Ajani Steadfast then finish with Elspeth, Sun's Champion or Kiora, the Crashing Wave.
Game 1, my hand was extremely good. I was able to have 3 one drops on board by turn 2 and the rest was cake with 2 Mogis's Marauder coming the following turns. Game 2, I sided in my Thoughtseize , Erebos, God of the Dead and Master of the Feast (Since I know he'll be siding in things like Drown in Sorrow and Bile Blight.) Both of us had powerful board states, but the problem was, he was gaining life and I was not. He eventually wittled me down while bouncing back up in life total. Game 3, I was unlucky and had 3 blood soaked champion out on turn 2 so Bile Blight devastated my offence early game. Again, I didn't see Erebos, God of the Dead so It didn't take long till the life gain started kicking in. There were many chances to win if I had top decked a mogis's marauder, But I didn't get it. 1-2, This player was the eventual winner of the tournament.
My 3rd round was against selesnya aggro. 1st game I was able to get turn 3 mogis's maurader and turn 4 Whip of Erebos his deck wasn't drawing anything powerful enough to keep up with that. Game 2, turn 3 mogis's maruader, turn 4 mogis's marauader, turn 5 bestow Herald of Torment on Tormented Hero. Both almost perfect hands for my deck. 2-0.
After this tournament, I feel I need to always be running 4 Mogis's Marauder in the main board, this cards makes a difference in almost every game.

I would say they aren't. It plays just fine without them, there's just a decreased chance at drawing more land for each fetch land you crack, which is good for this playstyle. I happen to have a play set of Polluted Delta, so I'm putting them in the deck, I didn't got out of my way to get these for this deck. A lot of other decks run Bloodstained Mire too.
Despise is useful in it's own right. It should be fine, but taking away things like Anger of the Gods or End Hostilities is what makes Thoughtseize so valuable. It should be fine with despise, knowing what's in your opponent's hand is very strong no matter what you take away.

are the Polluted Deltas neccisary, i run mono black aggro, also but since youve had very good success with your variant i thought that i would switch mine a little to run yours. I also do not have Thoughtseize would Despise be a good switch for that or would you not even run them instead?
