Flare of Malice
Instant
You may sacrifice a nontoken black creature rather than pay this spell's mana cost.
Each opponent sacrifices a creature or planeswalker with the greatest converted mana cost/mana value among creatures and planeswalkers they control.

Looks like a fun deck! I'd definitely throw in a Warren Soultrader, basically another copy of Phyrexian Altar on a zombie. Fell the Profane Flip and Flare of Malice would be great too!

Thanks a lot austintayshus and Exoflo, your comments were both very helpful!
I've ended up removing Skithiryx, the Blight Dragon and Thalia and The Gitrog Monster.
About some of the other cards mentioned: I'd like to keep Smothering Tithe in the deck because it's just bonkers. It also works well with Mazirek, Kraul Death Priest and Doubling Season. I think Toxic Deluge is a very flexible cards. And if my creatures got higher toughness because of the counters I'm able to duck the Deluge just under that for a one sided boardwipe.
I think you're right about Flare of Malice. The idea was to somehow sac a creature after casting Skithiryx, put the counters on it and give it haste. And no matter how much of a cool win that would be, those might just be too many hoops to jump through.
I don't play tutors anymore. I know it'd increase the powerlevel of my deck but just as you said I rather play cards I like vs cards just strong ones.
Again, thanks a lot for your thoughts!

Forgotten Ancient needs one full turn to trigger and the reward is not that great
Smothering Tithe has no synergy with your deck, you just become the archenemy instantly
Thalia and The Gitrog Monster is not a good card for your deck imo
Skithiryx, the Blight Dragon brings no synergy to the deck but is a strong kill. This is better than Thalia and gitrog however
Toxic Deluge is a very good card but is anti-synergistic with your deck because it goes over indestructible (so you can't protect you board and then wrath). Consider Damning Verdict if your are the only counter-matter player in your playgroup
Abzan Battle Priest is a strong card because lifelink is a powerful mechanic, even more when you keep your creature in defence
Keep in mind you only have 8 black creature + your commandant for Flare of Malice
You have very strong creature cards in deck like Sovereign Okinec Ahau. If members of your playgroup play tutors, you can improve your deck by adding Eladamri's Call and others
Anyway, this is a very good brew for sure and never forget to play the cards you like rather than the strong ones.

You might not be a Legacy player but you sure do like utilizing Legacy deck building strategies in EDH.
