Another update. —Dec. 6, 2017

Made some more changes here. I've added Lake of the Dead to hopefully provide some mana acceleration, and taken out Ice Floe and Crypt of Agadeem, taking me down to 35 lands. I'm a bit nervous about that number, but if I find it doesn't work, I'll likely cut No Mercy and add a Swamp back in.

I cut Lashwrithe, Nightmare Lash, and Royal Assassin and added Pathrazer of Ulamog, Artisan of Kozilek, and Void Winnower. I didn't want to cut the Lashes, but I think the additions will make up for their loss. I felt like they could really be game winners, but I'm not sure they really matter that much in the end. Maybe in another deck... Also added Hatred.

2 things. Have you considered archiving the comments? This section took a while to scroll through.

And

You consider something like Dictate of Erebos or Grave Pact? I mean if you find yourself sacrificing a significant amount of creatures in your games, this may be an include? Or Butcher of Malakir? Creature version that is good with Volrath

Byuante, I don't really do a lot of sacrificing with this deck, that's why I'm not running the edict effects. I had Butcher of Malakir in the deck, but removed it because I wasn't using a lot of edict effects. Its a lot more discard than sac oriented.

Looks like a fun deck, and I think its always cool to see people play lesser know commanders. and Mono B with Infect can always seek out a win.

Thank you, Shane.Allen! The trick is getting these lesser-known commanders to run smoothly enough to make them worth playing. With Volrath the Fallen, the toughest part is his high CMC.

With so many higher CMC dudes, how about maybe Belbe's Portal? Maybe Nim Deathmantle or Deathrender?

Thanks for the thoughts, Wolfrage76. I could get some use out of Belbe's Portal, but I don't have much of a theme as far as creatures goes, so it would only help out with a few (but help out big). I do think Nim Deathmantle and Deathrender could both find a place, though. I will add those to the maybeboard.
