Ooh, I really like Diregraf Ghoul, that's a solid replacement for Carnophage I usually don't do a whole lot of blocking anyway, so that might be a solid choice!

And Oona's Prowler Looks like a solid addition. Would be nice to have more evasion.

Yeah, I'm not really sure why I left out 3cc stuff in the original build. Master of the Feast and Rotting Regisaur both look like solid additions, and give me some heavy hitters so I don't have to rely on Hatred so much. As mostly a pure weenie build as it sits, it does have a tendency to get bogged down versus bigger bodies.

I really appreciate the feedback! I'll look into testing a few different versions, and report back here once I've got some fresh results under my belt.

I like momo black aggro decks. Back in the old days I played a lot Black Suicide decks. On TappedOut I have a mono black singleton deck where you can find a lot of suggestion for your deck: Mono Black No More Suicide

Just some of the best suggestion:

For Carnophage maybe Diregraf Ghoul or Vampire Lacerator

Really good two-drops are: Oona's Prowler and Scrapheap Scrounger

But I would add more one-drops or some three-drops for better consistency of the mana usage of Dark Ritual Maybe Gutterbones, Bloodsoaked Champion, Master of the Feast, Dread Shade or Rotting Regisaur

I would suggest dropping 2 Diregraf Ghoul (Leaving you still with 10 1 drops) and adding 2 more Thoughtseize . Depending on your meta, I would also suggest Fatal Push over Spark Harvest . Also adding 1 or 2 Castle Locthwain over swamps costs nothing and may win you a game or 2. 2-4 Liliana, Untouched By Death would help with your late game. You may be able to cut Dark Salvation for it.

I like the deck! The Zombie tribe is one of my favorites.

After some testing I noticed that Diregraf Colossus was a bit slow, so I cut one of them and a land to make room for some Diregraf Ghoul s to help lower the curve to a point where 22 lands seems fine.

Gravecrawler Seems like it is just better than your 1 drops as it can come back with Diregraf Ghoul and Geralf's Messenger

Hey, I'm back again! Carrion Feeder is legal in Modern now and it's a waaaaay better card than Diregraf Ghoul (especially alongside Gravecrawler ), so I suggest you replace them with it.

Carrion Feeder is an amazing card with Gravecrawler and Geralf's Messenger and is just good in general. I recommend you add 4 of them in place of 4 Diregraf Ghoul / Dreadmalkin .

LordBlackblade on Why do red cards have ...

In my experience, this clause on cards isn't designed as an advantage, but rather a balancing/flavor choice. The idea behind it is that red is so aggressive that it will entirely neglect defense in favor of offense. As a balancing mechanic, its usually found on cards that R&D considers to produce too much value for red ( Goblin Rabblemaster ) or would be too efficient otherwise ( Akoum Firebird ). Usually red wants to attack anyway, so this "drawback" can sometimes be completely irrelevant.

A similar clause to consider is zombies that enter tapped. From a flavor standpoint, they enter tapped because they're shambling and slow. From a balance standpoint it let's you print things like Diregraf Ghoul which would be overpowered as a vanilla 2/2 for one otherwise.
