Making the following swaps:

Out:

• Vapor Snag (See above.)
• Dark Tutelage (See above.)
• Roaming Throne (See above.) Definitely will put this one back when I find it.
• Rain of Daggers Too expensive, and it denies my commander her targets.
• Ashes to Ashes Slow and kind of redundant.
• Death Wind Inefficient, and kind of redundant.

In:

• Planar Incision Flicker / blink beats bounce for my purposes.
• Reality Acid Yeah, it's removal, nut I may end up needing some, and in this deck it's very reusable.
• Bounce Off
• Arcane Signet
• Skywise Teachings I'm going to try putting this one back in. It's not strictly on theme, but it will get a lot of triggers and may serve as a Plan B if I need one and help with my low creature count.
• Naiad of Hidden Coves I'm running a lot of instants.

I can't seem to locate my copies of these cards, so I'll remove them from the list for now.
Vapor Snag, Dark Tutelage, and Roaming Throne.

Dark Confidant/Dark Tutelage is the draw tech for this strategy. I will be adding Phyrexian Arena and Vampiric TutorGC upon your observation.

I'm in.

Dark Confidant/Dark Tutelage efficient life loss.

Lurking Evil deliciously evil.

Temporal Extortion let your opponents share in the life loss or get a {U} extra turn.

Worship contingency plan

Transcendence weird one but similar to Phyrexian Unlife

Damn is a perfectly designed MTG card. I like seeing it in lists and I like playing it. However, in this deck wouldn't Deadly Tempest be more appropriate for the global life loss?

Your deck is over half 0 CMC. Dark Confidant and/or Dark Tutelage would be efficient card advantage. Sensei's Divining Top would streamline it.

Hey man! You're gonna need a higher density of card draw, ramp and tutors if you want this bad boy to he more consistent, there's no way around it. Fortunately you're in {U}{B}, so that's no big deal. I'd recommend the following options:

Tutors: Demonic Tutor, Diabolic Intent, Grim Tutor, Beseech the Mirror, Mystical Tutor, Personal Tutor, Solve the Equation, Fabricate Spellseeker, Merchant Scroll & Lim-Dul's Vault.

Draw: Talion, the Kindly Lord, Necropotence, Black Market Connections, Dark Confidant, Dark Tutelage, Night's Whisper & Ad Nauseam (if you can lower your mana curve).

Ramp: Talisman of Dominance, Dimir Signet, Fellwar Stone, Springleaf Drum, Dark Ritual, Cabal Ritual, Culling the Weak, Bubbling Muck & High Tide. Maybe Rain of Filth.

Other synergistic value: Praetor's Grasp, Bribery, Acquire, Entomb, Reanimate & Mnemonic Betrayal.

Other than that I'd probably say add more cheap counterspells and instant speed removal so you can control the board and bolster your own. Let me know if you need help with cuts, I'm seeing a lot of them.

Azoth2099 thanks for the feedback! Swapped Bond of Agony for Dark Tutelage. The various tutors are certainly better for the deck, and I'd definitely include them in a fully streamlined list.

Also Imperial Seal, Dark Tutelage & Sign in Blood!
