Kozilek, the Great Distortion - Draw and counter! Super helpful and useful. With these types of decks (especially your version), you typically ramp hard into your commander, you draw cards from it's cast, they remove it, you play a couple more ramp spells and they destroy some. You hopefully have enough to recast commander to keep the cycle going. Worst case, you fizzle out. Moreover, having Kozilek Distortion allows you to counter! Countering a pact of negation by discarding a land, proactively neutralizing threats and bluff is powerful. Don't sleep on it.

Skullclamp - Draw

Expedition Map - "Tutor" - Helps you find eye of ugin, Field of the Dead or any other utiltiy land such as Blinkmoth Well, which goes "well" with winter orb

The following combos are all synergistic with your deck, ensuring little to no dead cards. Some of these combos you already have and want to ensure you are aware of them so you can put them in the description for reference.

Mystic Forge + Sensei's Divining Top + cost reducer/ugin ineffable/Cloud Key/Semblance Anvil = Draw your entire deck

Basalt + Rings + top = Draw and cast your entire deck

Basalt Monolith + forsaken monument = Infinite colorless

Scorched Ruins + Rings of Brighthearth + Deserted Temple = Infinite colorless

Voltaic Key > Manifold - You don't really need unblockability as your commander has evasion and usually paves a way. Voltaic allows for mana combos given it can target itself unlike manifold

metalworker + Voltaic Key + Rings of Brighthearth = Infinite colorless

Everflowing Chalice (4 counters) + Voltaic Key + Rings of Brighthearth = Infinite colorless

Scrap Trawler + Myr Retriever + Krark-Clan Ironworks + Sol Ring + Junk Dive

Scrap Trawler + Sculpting Steel + Krark-Clan Ironworks + Cost Reducer

Grim Monolith + Forsaken Monument + Rings = Infinite Colorless

Mystic Forge + Sensei's Divining Top + cost reducer/ugin ineffable/Cloud Key/Semblance Anvil = Draw your entire deck

Basalt Monolith + Rings of Brighthearth = Infinite colorless

Basalt Monolith + forsaken monument = Infinite colorless

Scorched Ruins + Rings of Brighthearth + Deserted Temple = Infinite colorless

metalworker + Voltaic Key + Rings of Brighthearth = Infinite colorless

Everflowing Chalice (4 counters) + Voltaic Key + Rings of Brighthearth = Infinite colorless

Buried Ruin - Recursion that doesn't take up a slot

Let me know what you think, I can provide suggestions for cuts should you wish.

To start with, there's a few cards that have better Vintage equivalents. Overmaster and Spell Pierce should be the 3rd. and 4th. copies of Force of Will. Leftover space from cutting those can be Red Elemental Blast, Pyroblast, or Flusterstorm. You don't need Faithless Looting because we have Paradoxical Outcome, Sensei's Divining Top, Gush, Dig Through Time, Treasure Cruise, and Brainstorm to choose from. Merchant Scroll also belongs in here, because you can use it to grab Ancestral Recall at the very least. Usually you want it to make sure you have protection in hand by grabbing countermagic.

Library of Alexandria isn't good in this deck. And you're not the type that needs 8x sources, so Steam Vents can go, along with a few copies of Volcanic Island (1 or 2). Replace all of these with four copies of Scalding Tarn and basic lands. Or even just play 6x fetches. You need to be able to shuffle after using Brainstorm, Ponder,and Sensei's Divining Top.

From here, you have a solid U/R Storm shell. However, I wouldn't play straight "Modern U/R Storm, but Power 9" dot dec. 2 mana is a lot for Goblin Electromancer, there are easier ways of winning than Grapeshot, and so on. The question then becomes "Where to go from here?"

Hope this helps! Welcome to MtG's oldest and greatest format.

Basalt Monolith + Rings of Brighthearth = Infinite mana + Sensei's Divining Top = Draw your whole deck

Basalt + Forsaken Monument = Infinite mana

Everflowing Chalice + Voltaic Key + rings = Infinite mana

Metalworker + Staff of Domination = Infinite mana

Mystic Forge + Sensei's divining top + cloud key/artifact cost reducer/Semblance Anvil/Ugin, the Ineffable = Draw your whole deck

Scorched Ruins + Rings + Deserted Temple = Infinite mana

I can recommend more but want to see how these work for you.

Cool deck!

To make the most of your commander's ability I'd recommend some untappers, perhaps Kelpie Guide or Vizier of Tumbling Sands. Some Proliferate like Tezzeret's Gambit would be very nice as well to boost those counters. Voltaic Key and the spendier Thousand-Year Elixir.

For board wipes, I'd recommend my pet card Chain Reaction. You can cut Cancel, Outnumber, Unsummon, and Hands of Binding for removal that hits more. Stoic Rebuttal is a counterspell that suits your theme well! Meteorite can be cut for Spine of Ish Sah, it hits more and is recurrable. Contagion Engine is insane value with planeswalkers and your commander.

Hope this helps! I didn't pay too much attention to the newest Jhoira, but she looks like a lot of fun! Enjoy your games with her! :)

Sensei's Divining Top to add to the rings + Basalt combo to draw your entire deck by copying the draw ability of top with rings.

Cloud Key/Semblance Anvil/Ugin, the Ineffable/artifact cost reducer + sensei's top + Mystic Forge = Draw your entire deck.

Voltaic Key + Everflowing chalice + Rings = infinite colorless

Forsaken Monument + basalt monolith = infinite colorless

All of these cards of synergistic with the deck so there are no dead draws.

I've commented on Sicohippy's, he was very helpful in establishing my own similar mono black control deck. I used to used Xiahou dun but eventually switched to Sidisi as 1 more mana for tutoring was more impactful than paying 1 less mana for recursion. Anyways, now onto the deck....

Aside from lethal vapors, what else do you name with pithing needle? Also, I'm assuming opponents cant respond to the "entering of the battlefield" of pithing needle because it states "as" it enters rather then "when." But assuming you've played against the same opponents multiple times, how often do they just destroy lethal vapors in response to cast of needle?

If you add Buried Ruin, not only could you recur your important artifacts such as ring (which I think is the purpose of codex shredder given your commander can recur your black cards, and u already have painters servant to make it recur anything), it allows you to bring back crucible, which brings back buried ruin. It's a nice, notable synergy which has assisted me several times.

What is the primary purpose of codex shredder? It messes up top decks and acts as a recursion piece. But given the above paragraph, do you really need it? Swapping it with a card in the maybeboard might be better serve. Although, I believe a potential niche yet potentially helpful swap would be...

Voltaic Key -

1) Synergy with tangle wire/trinisphere, top, mana rocks, wishclaw talisman and lux cannon 2) Political tool 3) Combo with Chromatic Orrey + Rings. Tap Chrome for 5, activate key for 1, floating 4, hold priority and copy untap ability for 2 mana, floating 2. Untap key and chrome. This process allows you to net 2 mana each time, providing you with infinite mana. Once you have that, you can copy the 2nd ability to draw your deck.

Let me know what you think.
