TheForsakenOne Thank you.
I removed Ob Nixilis of the Black Oath and Gonti's Machinations, and added back in Peer into the Abyss, good suggestions. Made a fair amount of changes as well, mostly to help ramp mana and lands.

I'd replace one of the Soul Warden effects with Guide of Souls, since it's got a better statline and gives you energy that can be turned into +1/+1 counters and flying. Sure it doesn't do any creature like they do but I think the tradeoff is worth it.
Ob Nixilis of the Black Oath is just bad. It's too much mana for not enough impact and there are just better things you could be doing. And Gonti's Machinations just doesn't do enough despite its low mana investment. I'd recommend cutting them both for more ramp, you've got a lot of 4 drops that you'd love to get out a turn earlier.
Peer into the Abyss should definitely be added in from the maybeboard. With your commander out you're going to gain a shit ton of life and kill multiple players. If you add more ramp like my earlier suggestion then it'll be a lot more feasible to hit that 7 mana number.

Jund Fast Energy

That's what I thought. I considered cheating it out, as well. I can say this: Attune with Aether and Voltaic Brawler are pretty good choices for an energy deck.
Here are a few suggestions: Aetherworks Marvel, Wheel of Potential, Plasma Caster, HELIOS One, Greenbelt Rampager, Glint-Sleeve Siphoner, Deadlock Trap, Dynavolt Tower, Chthonian Nightmare, Unstable Amulet, Servant of the Conduit, Harnessed Lightning, Gonti's Machinations, Decoction Module, Woodweaver's Puzzleknot, Sage of Shaila's Claim, Die Young, Consulate Turret, and Aether Chaser.

Hahaha Metropolis39 Trust me... They are back breaking.
When not dealt with, Winding Constrictor is a house. Glint-Sleeve Siphoner will bury you in Card Advantage when paired with the snake and even more so with Gonti's Machinations. Bloodhall Ooze can be a T3 5/5 and a T4 9/9. Olivia Voldaren will steal your creatures once you've spent all of your early removal. And Woodland Wanderer is often a 6/6 or 7/7 Trample with Vigilance.
Play against it and see what you can pull off. Energy is entirely broken and under represented.

Tainted remedy

I'd cut the bad stuff and lean 100% into the enemy lifegain theme. This means up to 4 Tainted Remedy plus 4x Kavu Predator , and cut Idyllic Tutor , Serrated Scorpion , Twilight Prophet , Gonti's Machinations , Roiling Vortex , etc.
I know Blessed Alliance and Rest for the Weary are used with Tainted Remedy, but the best cards with Remedy are ones that have a "drawback" that involves your opponent gaining life and Remedy/Kavu turn that drawback into an advantage. I see you already have Wall of Shards and Grove of the Burnwillows , which are classics. Some other ones are Oust , Fiery Justice , Solitude / Condemn , Devour Flesh with Nature's Claim for the sideboard. Alms Beast is also funny.

Dark Shot Pezzent! (10/12 Euro/$)

Thank you for upvoting my deck. We all work so hard on these things and its nice to have someone else show appreciation for it! I came here to return the favor. When I got here, I had to learn what Pioneer format was all about--I like that they are making time segments that are larger than they used to because I have always been more of a player than a collector.
This deck definitely accomplishes your goals-- it has an obvious theme and the cards are completely affordable. I have a couple of suggestions that would fit into this deck, but I am not sure if they would improve it...just some ideas (I made sure they were affordable as well). Also, I noticed the low number of creatures and wanted to see if I could persuade you into adding a few more. I recognize that the ratio of cards in the deck that caused the desired "life loss/gain effect" needs to be really high for the deck to be functional...finding that balance is likely the hardest part for the newer player.
- Cryptolith Fragment Flip : Seems to be right on theme with the life loss for opponents thing and could provide some ramp.
- Multiform Wonder : Uses and provides energy as well. This could give the player a blocker and a little flexibility, at least if you are running 4 copies of Gonti's Machinations .
- Ammit Eternal : Cheap CMC for a 5/5. Worst case scenario, the opponent is losing 3 life once. Best case scenario, you have a creature that swings every turn and applies pressure.
- Baleful Ammit : Combos with the card above nicely, provides lifegain as well. Also Cheap CMC.
- Bloodhunter Bat : Is one more mana than Sovereign's Bite , does the same thing and provides you with a flyer.
- Bloodthirsty Aerialist : With there already being 50% of your deck causing you to gain life, this seems like an awesome option. They will grow to the point of ridiculousness very quickly. The price shown here is twice as high as it is when I looked it up, but it is still less than a dollar.
What is great is that there are so many available that I had absolutely no trouble finding some to fit into this theme...I only made it partway through the B's!
Great deck and good luck in your endeavors!
