Hi TheSurgeon,Bone Picker,Perilous Myr,Quest for the Gravelord,Eliminate the Competition,Yahenni's Expertise,Demon of Catastrophes? This cards are a budget alternative for a black sacrifice deck

Similar to what DankMagicianD said, I think a higher saturation of boardwipes could be beneficial. I strongly suggest an Eliminate the Competition as it fits the synergy of the deck pretty well.

I think Eliminate the Competition could be a really cool include, some other good cards with the Aristocratic theme is Erebos, Bleak-Hearted so that you can pay life to draw cards and Ashnod's Altar to play your big spells

So when demolishing my Judith deck and going thru the Ghired precon, I did come across some gems that I thought might go well in here. Some of the cards in the list above, I don't actually own yet and are a bit pricey. So here goes.

Second Harvest Bloodhall Ooze Yawgmoth, Thran Physician Eliminate the Competition Liliana, Dreadhorde General Defiant Salvager Mayhem Devil Fireblade Artist Mastermind's Acquisition Mirror March Bloodcrazed Paladin Field of the Dead Krenko, Tin Street Kingpin Reassembling Skeleton Mortuary Mire Bolas's Citadel

Thoughts?

Mausoleum Secrets is great. You can easily get a bunch of creatures in your graveyard for this spell because they come back anyway. Desecrated Tomb works well with your commander. Deathgreeter likes it when things die.

Bone Shredder kills himself off with echo while continuously killing off other creatures. Eliminate the Competition and Malicious Affliction also give you more kill spells.

And why not? You can use Meekstone , too.

Nice deck! You might consider some haste-enablers such as Anger, Bloodsworn Steward, Xenagos, God of Revels, Fervor, Concordant Crossroads, Mass Hysteria, Lightning Greaves, or Fires of Yavimaya to get huge amounts of burst damage with Prossh and OTK opponents out of nowhere. Also with the amount of tokens you generate, cards that have synergy with armies of tokens (e.g. Parallel Lives, Doubling Season, Overwhelming Stampede, Triumph of the Hordes, Harvest Season, and Second Harvest) could be very effective, especially if you area able to curve out with Parallel Lives or Doubling Season into Prossh the next turn. Also, cards that can turn your many tokens into mana could have a lot of potential as well. You've already included Cryptolith Rite and Growing Rites of Itlimoc , but the addition of Ashnod's Altar, Thermopod, Pawn of Ulamog Cards like Green Sun's Zenith, Chord of Calling, Heroic Intervention, Damnation, Crux of Fate, Sylvan Library, Vampiric Tutor and Demonic Tutor could provide the the deck with additional consistency, utility, and power. If you wnt to add another mana-doubling card, Mana Reflection would fill that role. It looks as if you have a bit of a 'sacrifice stuff' subtheme as well, so more cards to add for that could be Barter in Blood, Birthing Pod, Blood Divination Attrition, Awakening Zone, Bloodspore Thrinax, Disciple of Bolas, Eliminate the Competition, Mazirek, Kraul Death Priest, Sidisi, Undead Vizier, Sadistic Hypnotist, Goblin Bombardment, and Razaketh, the Foulblooded. Other considerations might be Sprouting Thrinax, Goblin Sharpshooter, Atarka, World Render, Grave Titan, Oracle of Mul Daya, Dragonlair Spider, Stalking Vengeance, Tempt with Vengeance, Xenagos, the Reveler, Poison-Tip Archer, Avenger of Zendikar, Fecundity, and Pitiless Plunderer. Those are just a few suggestions, and good luck with the deck!

I'd definitely cut: Scuttling Doom Engine, Hope of Ghirapur, Cadaver Imp, Black Cat, Augur of Skulls, Bloodgift Demon, Bloodthrone Vampire, Eliminate the Competition, Sudden Spoiling

I'd cut: Sifter of Skulls, Ogre Slumlord, Liliana's Shade, Marsh Flitter

I'd add: Razaketh, the Foulblooded, Krav, the Unredeemed

Your deck seems a little low on card draw. You might want to consider adding] Read the Bones, Night's Whisper, Ambition's Cost, Reprocess and Damnable Pact (the latter can double as a life drain spell).

Also, in a deck with so many expendable creatures, Eliminate the Competition seems like an excellent removal spell.

If they're within your budget, Dictate of Erebos and Grave Pact would be amazing in this deck.

Some not-so-great cards you can swap out are Guiltfeeder, Dash Hopes, Vampire Cutthroat, Drain Life and Life's Finale.
