Bontu's Monument
Legendary Artifact
Black creature spells you cast cost less to cast.
Whenever you cast a creature spell, each opponent loses 1 life and you gain 1 life.

I have many building thoughts about this.
38 lands is a minimum, these days.
Adding would give this deck some more decent tools, like Path to Exile, Swords to Plowshares, and Eerie Interlude (one of the best Commander cards, imo).
You are missing all of the excellent Artifacts that help you Ramp.
Sol Ring
Arcane Signet
Mind Stone (which you can sac in the late game)
Command Tower (see above)
I believe Bontu's Monument is too slow.
Lose some of the rats, replace some of the Artifacts, and put Palace Siege in.

I would suggest switching out some of the cards that are a bit too focused, if that makes sense. For example Soothing Balm for Exsanguinate or Bishop's Soldier for Gifted Aetherborn. Otherwise this looks great! I included a few suggestions for mana fixing and protections. Need to keep your commander alive! Some of these are a bit expensive so they can be substituted later if you end up liking the deck and want to upgrade it.

Phyrexian Altar is included because of the Bontu's Monument and Oathsworn Vampire infinite damage three card combo. I'm not adding Rings of Brighthearth because I don't want to. I'm not adding Nim Deathmantle either. I do agree that Kalitas, Bloodchief of Ghet isn't the best and I should cut it. Priest of Forgotten Gods has a lot of synergy in this deck. I could add Vampiric Rites or any similar cards instead but I have chosen not to. I think I will add in Contamination instead of other cards. It is much more powerful than other options in my opinion. Thanks for the feedback!

I had removed Bontu's Monument for Jet Medallion. I'm removing the Jet Medallion for Martyr's Cause and testing this instead.

... the Bontu's Monument since it doesn't work here.

After doing some reading, cards like Reassembling Skeleton are using an activated ability to return from the graveyard. This is not considered casting a spell so Bontu's Monument wouldn't trigger. Probably going to remove Bontu's Monument because the value is low.

Does Bontu's Monument grant the discount and/or the trigger when you return creatures from the graveyard with their activated abilities?

I decided to leave Chainer, Dementia Master out. I feel my newest additions are more for what the deck does or wants to do. I considered Beacon of Unrest but I don't think I want to cut anything for it. Perhaps Bontu's Monument?
