Dark Dabbling

Instant

Regenerate target creature. Draw a card. (The next time the target creature would be destroyed this turn, it isn't. Instead, tap it, remove all damage from it, and remove it from combat.)

Spell mastery — If there are two or more instant and/or sorcery cards in your graveyard, also regenerate each other creature you control.

Interesting idea to exile your own extract yourself to boost Slime Against Humanity. However, this deck seems rather fragile to boardwipes. For a list so focused on combat, it would be a good idea to have some more protection in case of a boardwipe. The first ones that come to mind are Wrap in Vigor and Dark Dabbling.

Also, I don't think Umori, the Collector is the best commander for it. Sure, you get a discount for each slime, but that seems very week. For , considering you only have 3 creatures, you could run Old Stickfingers and dump almost your entire deck and you wouldn't need to exile most of your copies.

I cannot think of a lot of utility lands of the top of my head, but Oran-Rief, the Vastwood would probably be a good way to pump the slimes while also being hard to interact.

Looks pretty neat! Considering the voltron element and Seshiro's comment (with which I couldn't agree more), some additional ideas:

  • Astarion's Thirst: depending on what you're exiling, this could prove to be a substantial boost in strength and toughness for either your commander or his companion.
  • Courageous Resolve: can be the killing blow against at least one of your opponents and allows you to draw as well.
  • Dark Dabbling: excellent anti-wipe spell in your deck, provided you play it mid-game somewhere (which is fine as wipes usually don't appear before then anyway).
  • Hatred: not exactly a cheap addition, but considering its potential that's not surprising. You have plenty of lifegain in this deck to make this an extremely dangerous card.
  • Mandate of Abaddon: again a great potential finisher, especially if your voltron creature is strong enough.
  • Silverquill Command: great booster for your voltron and cheap to cast with Killian on the BF.

Have fun with the deck!

Last_Laugh Thanks for the comment! I plan to eventually add reconnaissance to the deck. Would you consider Boros Charm better than Dark Dabbling? Dark dabbling is better for colors, it replaces itself and the full effect isn't hard to get to work, though Boros Charm does offer different options too. My friend recommended Purphoros, God of the Forge but I wasn't too sure if it'd be too slow and make me the instant hate magnet. I've never heard of Scapegoat before, is that much redundancy necessary? What would you recommend to remove? I was also eventually wanting to get Diabolic Intent to replace Final Parting and keep three tutors. Finally, I totally forgot about Plumb the Forbidden. That looks like a great card to help with draw! This deck appears to have two great weaknesses, draw and enchantments lol. Thanks for sharing your deck too. I appreciate it!

I think that some spells can take benefit from Killian's ability as well.

Silverquill Command may be a good addition, it costs only two if you choose the "+3/+3 and flying" mode, while it can reanimate one draw engine like Kor Spiritdancer or Sram, Senior Edificer . I also like Wretched Confluence , it costs only three mana if you choose the "-2/-2" mode at least once, and the other modes are very interesting in my opinion.

If you're struggling against removals, maybe Sejiri Shelter  Flip helps you protect Killian without affecting your mana base that much. Dark Dabbling maybe helps too.

While Toshi does give card advantage, powerful stand-alone card-draw spells are still important. I really like Skeletal Scrying and Moonlight Bargain for being instants, here. Also, I think some instant-based protection like Boon of Erebos , Abnormal Endurance , Butcher's Glee , or Dark Dabbling would be good. Finally, I'd recommend Victory Chimes , Isochron Scepter , Runechanter's Pike , Spellbinder , Sentinel Tower , Mirari , Haunting Hymn , and Aphotic Wisps as good synergy cards for a black instant deck.

Slaughter could be interesting since it not only triggers Toshiro, but it has buyback so you can recur it indefinitely (even if you cast it using Toshiro's ability). Imps' Taunt works in a similar way and is an interesting form of disruption for mono-black.

You might also like these: Locket of Yesterdays , Sangromancer , Revel in Riches , Black Market , K'rrik, Son of Yawgmoth , Spoils of Blood , Grave Betrayal , Fated Return , Corpse Churn , Wretched Confluence , Aphotic Wisps , Cremate , Dark Dabbling , Deserted Temple

Random card draws that might be nice.

Ok, lots of cards there. I think for milling creatures, you should go with Hermit Druid, Undercity Informer, and Gisa and Geralf. Altar of Dementia should go in, too.

For recursion like Oversold Cemetery, Meren of Clan Nel Toth will be great. Palace Siege is another good option. Also, Eternal Witness and Regrowth. I don't think Reclaim and Vile Rebirth do enough in here. I see why you have Repopulate, Death Denied, and Gravepurge, but not sure there aren't better cards to go with, like maybe Haunted Crossroads.

I think I'd get rid of cards like Cremate and Dark Dabbling. If you have them there mostly for the cantrip, better card draw engines like Necropotence, Phyrexian Arena, and Rhystic Study will serve you better. Sylvan Library would be better for card draw early on. Also, it goes along with the library manipulation I mentioned earlier with cards like Mirri's Guile, Soothsaying, and Sensei's Divining Top.

Rooftop Storm + Altar of Dementia + Gravecrawler give you an infinite win combo if you can get the pieces set and go off. I always like to have some combo like this in a deck if I can work it it. Fatestitcher is a great Zombie to have, too. Intruder Alarm might also provide some combo potential.

To help your mana base out, consider adding lands like City of Brass, Reflecting Pool, and Command Tower, along with Commander's Sphere to smooth the colors you need.

Shambling Ghoul, Slitherhead, and Winged Coatl don't seem to fit with what you want do here, and I think those could be replaced.

I'm not sure the infect theme would fit in with what you want to do here, but that's up to you to decide. I hope this helps some.
