Massive and overdetailed game breakdown incoming, be forewarned

I've been testing this mono black control list and had some epic grind fests, I just finished an extremely long and hard fought game against Simic, Izzet Storm, and an upgraded Necron precon Szarekh, the Silent King. You'll never guess who the problem was. Ok this game was absolutely wild, so after about an hour of normal play i.e. simic is simicing and has a rhystic, I have necropotence and bowmasters (2 of my 3 gc's) and I'm keeping the game mostly under control, Mizzix player is totally cucked bc they keep losing their Mizzix, Necron guy is casting Necrons, and it's mostly a fight of Vannifar, Evolved Enigma trying to gain steam and me removing all their stuff except I can't touch the rhystic so we're both full up on cards. First crux of the game, Vannifar player plays Ixidron, I tuck my Crypt Ghast under The Moment. On my turn I pop the moment and get my ghast back, clearing the rhystic but taking a lot of collateral. I tried to completely recover from the moment wrath via Yawgmoth's Will but Vannifar had a counter for it. So I do seem to pull ahead here, Mizzix just quits and I manage to get lethal on Vannifar. So then it's me and Necron guy. Enter the halfway mark of the game, a 1v1 now. He's at full and I'm at half. I have Crypt Ghast, Gauntlet of Power and both coffers so tons of mana, also I have Bowmaster and Yawgmoth, Thran Physician. My opponent has Caged Sun and Biotransference, and a good board of Necrons with a Trazyn the Infinite threatening to copy a Bolas's CitadelGC in the yard. I have Dimir Machinations and Languish but most of his stuff is too big, he's mono black so my gauntlet and his sun both pump him lol. I'm so low on life, at this point I need to %100 control the game or lose but I'm in a decent position to do it with the Yawgmoth. Here's my big choice, I use machinations to get Maralen of the Mornsong, then use Talon Gates of Madara to phase her out until my next turn. I take a hit here because I tapped to attack and kill Vannifar. I fumbled a little because I could have used the Yawgmoth and discarded some lands to -1/-1 and reduce my damage. I owned it and go down to 5. My turn, the Maralen phases in, I go down to 2 life. Can you guess what I get with her? Umezawa's Jitte. I needed some kind of life gain and Jitte was just about my last hope. Because I had so much mana and lands in hand, I was able to proliferate Jitte with Yawg and use both modes to perfectly Languish all the Necrons while pumping my board. I draw back up but nothing great. Their turn. They have huge mana too, replay their flying commander and make bonus necrons from Biotransference. Threatening lethal again. Back and forth, I'm CLINGING TO LIFE against these (still pumped +2) necrons, by using yawg ability and Jitte to snipe them and proliffing about 4 times a turn. He gets Bolas's CitadelGC on board, recurred via the commander. I got a harnessed The Soul Stone and recur Maralen to tutor on my turn, then sac her to yawg (she died to languish before). I still don't have enough life to go for the oppo lock because they are going too wide and I have to actively snipe necrons to stay alive AND prevent the lethal Bolas's CitadelGC activation. I have Maha, Its Feathers Night and Night of Souls' Betrayal which does NOT kill the necrons but brings them to X/2, I tutor and asymmetrical sweep again with Nuclear Fallout and finally we are are looking a bit safer. I'm still hovering at 1-2 life each turn (on Jitte life support, allowing me to maralen tutor) and barely keeping them off the lethal citadel activation. But I drew like ass, deck has no wincons only sorc speed removal, and I'm dead as soon as they can get 10 nonland perms which could be any turn. But I do have enough cards and mana to use yawg/jitte to stay alive. Finally, I draw Plague Engineer on a Massacre Girl trigger on their turn (responding to their trigger making the lethal necrons and sniping the existing ones). They pass. I use Soul Stone -> recur Maralen and get Engineered Plague. 39 cards left in my deck. I cast BOTH PLAGUES finally making the Necrons X/0 and they concede on the spot sealing the game. HOLY F*CJKSCING NECRONS!!!! Seriously was the most epic game I've had in a while and not at all who I expected trouble from in that pod. WELL PLAYED. Well PLAYED, Necron dude.

And I have to confess that while I absolutely love the Elektra version of Massacre Girl, I absolutely DESPISE the black widow version of Dauthi Voidwalker.

So I think I DO understand where you (and lots of other folks, too!) are coming from re: Universes Beyond ...

Cheers!

seshiro_of_the_orochi -
Thanks much for the comments and suggestions. Some thoughts ...

• Tarrian's Soulcleaver and Blade of the Bloodchief are great on other creatures (they basically turn anyone into a Venomcrawler). But they don't do anything for Massacre Girl at all.
  
• Thinking about Fake Your Own Death: Yeah, like I say in the description, I've got "a few blink effects for Elektra, for when the party gets out of hand again". But I probably need to either add more or delete the package entirely. With my current 5x cards (Synod Sanctum, Voyager Staff, Erratic Portal, Conjurer's Closet, and Demonic Gifts), I only have a 54% chance of having one by Turn 7, and that's not as consistent as I'd like. But to justify more, I'd really need to swap a bunch of creatures out for ones with ETB effects (currently I only have 7 creatures worth blinking). Hmmm ...
• You might not have noticed it in the deck description, but "I'm already bringing plenty of salt to the table with a repeatable board-wipe in the Command Zone; I don't want to bring much more. As an example, I'm avoiding Blood Artist effects." So thanks, but Bastion of Remembrance is right out.
• Similarly, you might not have noticed that I said "I mostly play in an ultra-budget (USD $25) Bracket 2 pod. So ... any card above USD $3 has to be better for the deck than Skullclamp". Grave Betrayal is good, but it's no Skullclamp. And Revel in Riches is great, but ridiculously overpriced for this deck.

Thanks again; cheers!

I've been thinking about Massacre Girl ever since I saw we're getting Elektra, Deadly Assassin as a reprint in the upcoming Marvel Super Heroes set (source: WotC).

Here's my first draft:
