Vampire of the Dire Moon -> Vampire Nighthawk or Murderous Rider are budged replacements. Even a Graveyard Trespasser  ^Flip fit's in for the value.

Legion's End & Go Blank are good sideboard options.

Are you playing games with Sideboards? Because a lot of decks are able to shore-up their weaknesses by utilizing sideboards, and you'd also be able to gain some extra ground against those bad-matchups by doing so.

Other than that I think the biggest recommendation is something you've already eluded to in your commentary here & on the deck - there's too many different things going on here. The deck would really benefit from cutting-out the average/mediocre cards and running more playsets of the "goodstuff".

Without knowing too much about standard (I only play Modern) my gut instinct is that the following cards are probably a bit weak to be in the deck, and should probably be ditched: Dreadhound (soo much mana for such a meh effect), Graveyard Trespasser  ^Flip (doesn't seem to be helping your deck out that much), Old Rutstein (seems odd in this shell), Outland Liberator  ^Flip (it just feels like a sideboard card to me), Skyfisher Spider (mana cost seems too high for what it does).

I feel like Golgari decks do well from interacting with the opponent and grinding them down. In that regard, I'd prioritize making playsets of your current selection of instant spells (Tear Asunder, Infernal Grasp in particular seem strong for helping the game go longer so your creatures can get bigger. I'm not sure how relevant Cut Down is in your format).

Delphen7 on MDFC card tries to flip

Say I cast Valki, God of Lies  ^Flip. My opponent reveals their hand, and among other options, there is a Graveyard Trespasser  ^Flip in their hand, which I take.

Now it gets weird. Say I make Valki a copy of Graveyard Trespasser:

1. Does it become day if it wasn't already?
2. If it becomes night while Valki is a copy of the day face, does he transform into Tibalt? Normally a card wouldn't, but Valki has a back side
3. If it's night when I try to make Valki a copy, which Graveyard Trespasser face does he copy?

Hi,

If I target a Graveyard Trespasser  ^Flip with an Infernal Grasp but Grasp is the last card in my hand, what happens?

Thanks!

I have a real loathing for all the "kitchen sink" cards that have been cropping up more and more lately - the type that give you a ton of fiddly little incremental advantages. Strixhaven was especially bad for this. Things like Magma Opus, Culmination of Studies, Multiple Choice, Pestilent Cauldron  ^Flip, Scale the Heights... there's being versatile, then there's being overdesigned and obnoxious.

The same goes for creatures with a number of "might as well" abilities that are likely to never come up in actual gameplay. Questing Beast is perhaps the worst offender, but Moritte of the Frost, Vadrok, Apex of Thunder, Koma, Cosmos Serpent, Graveyard Trespasser  ^Flip, Orvar, the All-Form, any double-sided creature... these things aren't even fun to read.

It's because choosing a target for a spell or ability is part of the process of putting it onto the stack in the first place.

In the Graveyard Trespasser  ^Flip example, the target card in a graveyard is chosen when the ability is put onto the stack. It hasn't started resolving yet. People have the opportunity to make responses, and after they're all done with the responses, the ability can start to resolve.

In the Duress example, it only targets the player, not the card. The player is chosen when the spell is put onto the stack, but the card is chosen as part of the spell resolving. Once you let your opponent start looking at your hand, that means the spell has started resolving and no one can make any more responses until it's completely finished.
