Any thoughts about the various quandaries I'm entertaining above? Does Phyrexian Crusader warrant inclusion in the sideboard? Is Cry of the Carnarium the best use of that lone card slot? Is Bad Moon worthy of serious consideration? How much will a lack of land destruction ultimately hurt me? Is Withered Wretch a better option than Relic of Progenitus om this particular deck?

I think you are probably right on cutting some removal. So how do these changes look.

Add: 4 Unmarked Grave 1 The Underworld Cookbook 3 Discovery / Dispersal

Remove: 3 Dismember 3 Esper Sentinel 1 Reveillark 1 Smallpox

Most all the additions are to help with getting hulk in the yard, with cookbook giving me a small amount of flexibility.

The removal decisions were based off mana considerations and the potential non-bo with an early smallpox/sentinel. Reveillark was probably the hardest pull since I do want backup combo pieces, but Body Double gives me the option to use another players graveyard as well.

I am not completely sure of these changes yet, but one thing I have been mulling over is the need for Prismatic Ending. I can't think of anything right now so dangerous outside of a Relic of Progenitus or Tormod's Crypt that I might need to remove. Not to mention that it doesn't progress my gameplan at all.

Looks good, budget allotment taken into consideration. Just a Sideboard suggestion, you’ll probably want a good graveyard sweeper to ensure what’s milled stays milled for good (also takes care of the plentiful Reanimator decks out there). There’s some good options that are slightly pricey like Relic of Progenitus, and others that are very budget minded like Tormod's Crypt or Nihil Spellbomb.

Looks pretty solid overall to me, I'd definitely start thinking about a sideboard. Cards like Grafdigger's Cage and Stony Silence will be especially good for your deck. With no strong focus on the graveyard, you could also consider Relic of Progenitus to go against delve or dredge strategies, and Kor Firewalker would be great for the burn matchups. It might even be a good mainboard include just because you'll get lifegain from your own red spells as well.

I'd personally drop the Triomes in favor of shocks if you're looking to get different colors for Prismatic Ending, the Triomes are just slow without something like Amulet of Vigor to help them come in untapped.

As wallisface rightfully stated: (btw. you just have to add the username in the bracket, the website will do the formatting itself) Noble Hierarch provides Ramp and Buffs for your creatures.
So the evaluation for Noble Hierarch VS. Thoughtseize, Inquisition of Kozilek, Fatal Push, etc. comes down to Speed VS. Interaction.
Both strategies are viable, the question is what strategy do you prefer and what performs better in your local meta.

The carddraw from Nihil Spellbomb is a nice-to-have, its main purpose is still to remove all cards in a graveyard from the game; keeping mana up to protect your creatues has higher priority. But there were situations where spellbomb even was just a ": Cycling"-card ^^
You can try a lot of differend graveyard hate: Relic of Progenitus, Soul-Guide Lantern, Lantern of the Lost, Grafdigger's Cage, Leyline of the Void, Return to Nature. Whatever works best for you :)

Wabbajacke a typical Lanturn control list would look something like this:

Typical Decklist

• 1x Nihil Spellbomb

• 1x The Underworld Cookbook

• 1x Grafdigger's Cage

• 1x Pyrite Spellbomb

• 2x Pyxis of Pandemonium

• 2x Pithing Needle

• 4x Codex Shredder

• 4x Ensnaring Bridge

• 4x Lantern of Insight

• 4x Mishra's Bauble

• 3x Thoughtseize

• 4x Inquisition of Kozilek

• 4x Prismatic Ending

• 4x Ancient Stirrings

• 4x Urza's Saga

• 1x Swamp

• 2x Razorverge Thicket

• 3x Concealed Courtyard

• 3x Blooming Marsh

• 4x Spire of Industry

• 4x Glimmervoid

So, if you're wanting to keep to just blue and black, and include Circu, Dimir Lobotomist, then I would suggest a list that looks something like this (you'll note the deck can be a lot more tool-boxy than the above because Whir of Invention lets us search for whatever we want, so for example we only need 2 bridges):

Suggested Decklist

• 1x Nihil Spellbomb

• 1x Witchbane Orb

• 2x Circu, Dimir Lobotomist

• 2x Pyxis of Pandemonium

• 1x Pithing Needle

• 1x Torpor Orb

• 4x Codex Shredder

• 2x Ensnaring Bridge

• 2x Talisman of Dominance

• 4x Lantern of Insight

• 4x Mishra's Bauble

• 2x Thoughtseize

• 3x Inquisition of Kozilek

• 1x Welding Jar

• 1x Relic of Progenitus

• 2x Collective Brutality

• 1x Sword of the Meek

• 1x Thopter Foundry

• 4x Whir of Invention

• 2x Urza's Saga

• 19x other lands

Omniscience_is_life That is actually some great advice! And these spells are defo better options than Blacksmith's Skill.

I'll probably look to add in 3ish Swan Song into the sideboard, as that seems like the most powerful of these effects, and the downside should be a non-issue for this deck. I think I'll still look to have a single copy of Spellskite mainboard (in place of the Relic of Progenitus) to Whir for in a pinch where I need to protect something.

Cheers!

orzhov721 that's a pretty cool interaction, however I don't know what to side out. Since the deck's mono black it is probably not necessary to have 4 in the sideboard. I have Relic of Progenitus mostly to get Surgical Extraction or Crypt Incursion more than GY hate.
