Infernal Medusa
Creature — Gorgon
Whenever Infernal Medusa blocks or becomes blocked by a non-Wall creature, destroy that creature at end of combat.

No worries on that one. I hate the old card text where creatures reference themselves by only part of their name. I once spent several hours tinkering with a jank build centered around Infernal Medusa and Mirror Entity before realizing the former's effect only applies to itself and the latter's ability doesn't even include the medusa type because it was removed from the game in 2007.
Anyway, you are correct that I was mostly referring to modern for the swaps but possibly some casual legacy/vintage too. I don't play much competitive legacy, but back when I played a bit with some friends in high school, I was rarely able to resolve any 3-cost spells before dying to Griselbrand or Emrakul, the Aeons Torn or both. That's what I get for trying to make Lure basilisks work I guess XD But yeah, seeing Taxes and Red Prison in the meta's top 10, the permanent removal does make sense. Plus, I imagine it's always nice to have more ways to eliminate threats like Plague Engineer .

This deck is far from ready, but I thought the concept was there. I will definitely add Whispersilk Cloak and Canopy Cover though. I also need to remove most of the ramp as ramp in that quantity for this deck is unnecessary. I also wanted to add more cards like Infernal Medusa , as having that card with lure can potentially wipe another players creatures, while Virtus the Veiled hits them for half.

Cuts:
Helm of Obedience if not going combo route
Arisen Gorgon Too dependant on Liliana being on the field
Gorgon Recluse Too high CMC for what you do
Infernal Medusa Medusa /= Gorgon
Keepsake Gorgon Too high mana for one and done
Korozda Gorgon Too high CMC && not running heavy +1+1 Presence
Ohran Viper As you are in blue, you have better options for card draw, especially because this one means you have to deal damage to player first.
Oona's Blackguard Cut unless you are rogue heavy
Pitiless Gorgon All your snakes will typically have deathtouch or be able to gain it, at 3 mana this should do more.
Venomous Hierophant Currently you aren't running much recursion cards I.E Reanimate
Night's Whisper not too useful, in blue if you need card draw, maybe a Blue Sun's Zenith or something
Maybe:
Gaze of the Gorgon A little too high mana but hilarious at the same time.
Killing Glare not bad spot removal, however, it may be more impactful to consider something like Doom Blade which is cheaper, and works on all but white.
Vraska, Relic Seeker Might be better for pirate deck, it's not on flavor at all here, and not in line with or as powerful as your other walkers.
Vraska, Swarm's Eminence This is useful however high mana for what it does, totally up to you, this could go either way.
Adds:
Chromatic Lantern To ensure you make colors. Given you're going heavy black we may need to revise this item.
Eternal Witness , Maybe cut Pharika's Mender for this, as it is 2 less CMC for almost the same thing.
Chevill, Bane of Monsters super value at 2 cmc
Baleful Strix Super value at 2cmc, fly, dedtouch, card draw
Fathom Feeder value town, and if you yank combo pieces this can help facilitate a win with it's ability
Hapatra, Vizier of Poisons 2cmc, high high values and makes SNEKS!!!!
Hythonia the Cruel Yeet cannons all non-gorgon creatures + big creature
Seshiro the Anointed SNEK SNEK +2+2 to all SNEKS! Draw card wen snek do damage!
Kaseto, Orochi Archmage Unblockable +2+2 SNEKS!
Prowling Serpopard Make's your Sneks and Gorgon's Un-Counterable
Stonecoil Serpent cool snek, but I think you might already have cooler in deck & on list
Orochi Hatchery Funny stuff this one, totally up to you
Bow of Nylea all creatures get deathtouch + more check this one out
Ohran Frostfang Gives attacking creatures you control ded touch and when your creatures damage a player, draw a card.
Kodama's Reach Mana Ramp
Search for Tomorrow Mana Ramp
Three Visits Mana Ramp

Linthia of the Hypnotic Gaze
Legendary Creature - Gorgon 3/7
Creatures you control gain deathtouch.
Whenever a Gorgon creature or a Vraska Planeswalker you control destroys a permanent an opponent controls, return it to the battlefield under your control at the beginning of the next end step.
Her glare stays with you forever, even beyond the grave.
Of the 14 Gordon's in Magic, 9 of them have Deathtouch (or pseudo-deathtouch, like Infernal Medusa). Then there's also Visara the Dreadful, so I think Linthia works well with other gorgons. And if you don't have any others then it's just like Archetype of Finality+.
Anyway, my challenge is to make a pair of planeswalkers with partner that could be commanders, like the Kenriths.
