K'rrik, Son of Yawgmoth combo'd with Whip of Erebos = nearly free casting rats. If you also bring in Jet Medallion , Bontu's Monument , The Immortal Sun , etc then they are free to cast.

This is a great start for a budget Skithiryx deck!

You mention ramp, and budget, so here are some things I'd add to help in that regard:

1. First, add Evolving Wilds and Terramorphic Expanse , dropping Bad Moon and Rogue's Passage . You are running mono black, so lots of basic lands. The last thing you want to do when trying to ramp is draw a land - use these to help filter.

2. Consider add Thawing Glaciers if you can - same reasons as above. It is "slow", but each usage means you never miss a land drop and you're less likely to top-deck a swamp.

3. I'd drop Skullclamp - great card, but this deck doesn't really put it to the best usage. Better uses for the slot.

4. Look at Vengeful Pharaoh - this is one of my favorite budget cards for mono black EDH. Bulk in recursion, and deathtouch. Use this as a chump blocker, and never worry about it being killed :-)

5. You're short on sweepers. Decree of Pain is a budget friendly option.

6. Black Market gets NUTS in EDH. More mana. Budget friendly. Win-win!

7. I'd drop/reconsider: Jet Medallion & Hedron Archive .

I'll look a little more this evening and see if I can help more. It's far from budget, from take a look at my Skittles deck: http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/skittles-25-08-12-1/

I would ditch Traxos, Scourge of Kroog for Waning Wurm . It benefits from anthems and if you are lucky he will cost a lot less since you run Bontu's Monument and Jet Medallion . Nice deck!

I aggree with nikolaTesla, adding more ramp would greatly improve the deck.

Cards like Bontu's Monument , Jet Medallion are great for mono black decks. Also adding more land ramp like Burnished Hart , Solemn Simulacrum , Wayfarer's Bauble and Myriad Landscape .

Things that make tokens that your commander would love are Bitterblossom , Dreadhorde Invasion , Bloodline Keeper  ^Flip and Plague of Vermin

Sinken on Sidisi, lands kinda matter?

A lot of good suggestions! Thank you!

Charcoal Diamond is already in my list, and I decided to shy away from Jet Medallion due to pricing reasons... but maybe not :D

Coldsteel Heart is a good one, definitely gonna add it, but Skull of Ramos has the same problem as Worn Powerstone : coming out turn 3 and generating 2 mana doesn't make it faster than generating 1 mana, since sidisi --> ad naus --> combo all take 1 turn each regardless :D

Rain of Filth actually does make the combo faster, since I can combo the turn I play ad naus then (main phase of course). Great suggestion ^^

I do actually own Chrome Mox , but considering I run 80 lands or so I wasn't sure if it was worth including or not... I guess I'll see what my final land count is before deciding

The problem with Cabal Stronghold is that I need 5 other basics to generate positive mana, and at that point I should already be comboing off or dying to counterspells

Terrain Generator is great, 0 damage from ad naus is amazing ^^

Imp's Mischief is also noted

There's a lot of great suggestions, now I just need to figure out my pain limit for ad naus... ^^

Charcoal Diamond and Jet Medallion are two that I can think of off the top of my head for black.

Coldsteel Heart Kinda acts like a second diamond. Skull of Ramos cheap rock to purchase and can get you 2 black mana in a pinch.

Dark Ritual and Cabal Ritual are sort of ramp.

Very risky, but Rain of Filth in case you absolutely need extra mana.

I doubt your looking into them since they are pricy but Chrome Mox and Mox Opal are zero drop

I dig it.

Generally, I'd include fewer Madness cards that buff your creatures and include more tutors, reanimation spells, and control pieces to help you buy time to find your combo. Black damage taxes are good, like Dread or No Mercy .

Archfiend of Ifnir over Archfiend of Spite . Maybe some more modular wipes (like Crux of Fate , Decree of Pain , or Kindred Dominance ) + spells like Grim Return or Endless Obedience . Have a way to win with other people's decks after they exile your graveyard or Worldgorger Dragon .

Maybe play Talisman of Dominance over any other rock than your signet. Play a cost reducer or two, as well, like Jet Medallion or Ruby Medallion , or more 2-drop rocks like Charcoal Diamond and Fire Diamond . I'd play the red and black cycle lands for extra draw/dig/loot, as well.

Notes from game on 09/08/2019:

Rock Stars:

• Bloodchief Ascension
• Exsanguinate - took out 3 players simultaneously
• Hex Parasite - OMG belongs in almost any black deck
• Lake of the Dead
• Overwhelming Forces
• Painful Quandary
• Phyrexian Obliterator
• Staff of the Death Magus
• Sword of Light and Shadow

Worth Considering for Removal:

• Arcane Lighthouse - unlikely to need / redundant with Detection Tower
• Lich's Mirror - I made a dumb mistake not paying enough attention to the win condition
• Maralen of the Mornsong (sigh) this was originally her deck
• Ob Nixilis, Unshackled - keep for at least one more round
• Platinum Emperion - belongs in another deck, redundant with Platinum Angel
• Soldevi Digger - very unlikely to need
• The Haunt of Hightower - I want to make this a better card than it really is, but I have to face it.

Replacements:

• Ancient Tomb
• Expedition Map
• Jet Medallion
• Liliana of the Veil
• Liliana Vess
• Sorin Markov
