This feels like the old Haakon, Stromgald Scourge combo lists that tried to abuse Basal Sliver and Skeletal Changeling.

There are definitely other combo lines that should play nice with this - Ashes of the Fallen would let you combo with Wild Cantor or Myr Moonvessel, Skirk Prospector/Universal Automaton would offer a second combo line for non-bombardment.

Enduring Renewal. I love the card, It is jank. The 'reveal your hand' is a massive drawback. Similarly, Kethis, the Hidden Hand felt close to working for similar but didn't quite.

Augur of Skulls , Duty-Bound Dead , Manor Skeleton , Reassembling Skeleton , Sanitarium Skeleton , Tenacious Dead Death Baron , Skeletal Changeling , Spawning Pool are all ok.

I'd look at doubling down on the board wipes, especially if you can delay them, and looking more to artifacts like Lashwrithe . Mono black deckbuilder's toolbox is my list of all the stuff I've made work in mono-black in modern.

Nice Idea!

There are some token creators that you could use. Belfry Spirit , Regal Bloodlord and Sengir Nosferatu .

Maybe for the weaker changeling cards like Skeletal Changeling .

Dont know what you are trying to do with the deck since you have several cards for others builds in here.Dont see a use for Bloodbond Vampire since you not gaining much life.Bloodhusk Ritualist for my deck wasnt that good. Kheru Bloodsucker not worth since you dont have my creatures for it.No reason for him at all unless its a fillerSkeletal Changeling.Chainer's Edict feel like there are better things that do this. Planar Bridge tutors are better. Not the best for how you have this deck built right nowBlighted Fen. Geier Reach Sanitarium dont use lol. Piranha Marsh use a Swamp. Not worth it Sorin's Thirst. Wound Reflection great card but not made for this deck.

here are some better sacrifice cards: Barter in Blood Fleshbag Marauder Innocent Blood Plaguecrafter Smallpox Tyrant's Choice

better land drawMikokoro, Center of the Sea

Some suggested creatures: Asylum Visitor Crypt Ghast Dark Impostor Drana, Liberator of Malakir Magus of the Coffers Sangromancer Skeletal Vampire Stromkirk Condemned

instant/sorcery: Beseech the Queen Blood Tribute Dark Petition Diabolic Tutor Night's Whisper Read the Bones Zombify Murder Sudden Spoiling Ultimate Price Victim of Night

artifact: Sword of the Animist

When you need to switch things up for your meta, there is a viable combo strat with Basal Sliver backed by Skeletal Changeling, Hivestone and Ashes of the Fallen alongside haakon.

Maybe Forgotten Creation, Minds Aglow, Carrion Feeder, Graf Harvest, Ruinous Path, Open the Graves and Phylactery Lich (you have very few artifacts)?

You really don't have many great blockers. Skeletal Changeling and Drowned come out cheap and can chump block over and over.

I notice you have a ton of ETB's so a little more graveyard recursion would be good. Palace Siege, Victimize.

Sakashima the Impostor is $20. You may WANT it but you don't NEED it. Skeletal Changeling is a ninja and chump blocker with regenerate. I like that one.

There are several cheap enchantments to make a ninja unblockable after you get the first ninjitsu onto the board. Aqueous Form, Writ of Passage and Aether Tunnel are the cheapest. Flitterstep Eidolon can attack, ninjitsu then recast as bestow. Lots of mana but really flexible.

If you are married to the faerie theme try Knacksaw Clique or Puppeteer Clique for ETB, fly in, ninjitsu, recast for ETB all over. Bitterblossom provides chump blockers and fliers to ninjitsu off of. (Bitterblossom is expensive as heck though).

The biggest change i had to make to my deck after the first draft was Reliquary Tower, Thought Vessel, Library of Leng and anything to let me hold onto cards instead of discarding down to 7.

Skeletal Changeling IS in your color identity if you need a cheap ninja that regenerates.

Double Strike makes Yuriko's card draw and card damage trigger twice. So will a Strionic Resonator.

I've had good luck using cheap fliers with an ETB, like Baleful Strix to use ninjitsu on. I get ETB value, usually able to pick a target with no fliers, NINJITSU!, and then I can cast again for another ETB.

Identity Thief removes a blocker, which can be nice, and True-Name Nemesis is unblockable and protected vs at least the one guy.
