@Epetecan That's actually a good call on your part for Feed the Swarm, though to a degree I hate parting with Agadeem's Awakening  ^Flip. I did alter the deck by cutting Whisper Squad and brought in Foulmire Knight for another card draw option as well as mainboarding Cling to Dust. Feed the Swarm goes to my sideboard and I've added a couple of Massacre Wurms for a catch all since Witch's Vengeance only covers tribal decks.

Village Rites is a strictly better Altar's Reap . I recommend 4x Whisper Squad over Mardu Shadowspear as they can easily grab you additional sac fodder. Also, I think Bastion of Remembrance is a much better Syr Konrad, the Grim . For an aggressive deck, the mana curve matters and the additional token is helpful too. Finally, and your mileage may vary on this since it looks like you're trying to include mostly non-rares and not recent sets, Lurrus of the Dream-Den would be a very good card to include, probably over Blood for Bones . Good luck!

I love it. Just one question. Why Whisper Squad? Why not run something like Gray Merchant of Asphodel or Murderous Rider over it?

You get a +1 from me.

Hello,

Arboreal Grazer works better in decks with high land count, like 25+ easily. For your deck I think Gilded Goose would make more sense if you really want a 1 mana ramp card. At least it won't be a 1 mana do nothing like Arboreal Grazer often will be.

I'm not sure why you run 4 Whisper Squad since it's normally used as sacrificial fodder which you don't need, but if you like playing them maybe you could mix in some Blood for Bones to get the most out of them. It would also be nice +2 fodder Vraska, Golgari Queen if you played one, which you should probably consider too.

Unexpected Fangs is pretty underwhelming. +1/+1 on your Void Beckoner or Titanoth Rex won't make much difference, and they might even already have a lifelink counter from Unbreakable Bond. If you use it just to help defend early on, you could just play some Mire Triton instead. They make excellent deathtouch blockers, they gain you 2 life and even mill you some cards. All kinds of things you want to get to your late game plan.

I'm guessing you're trying to keep the deck budget, but obviously mixing in some Overgrown Tomb would help the mana base a lot too.

Hopefully these suggestions are helpful, cheers!

This is more of a knight tribal than a humans... If you want to lean more on the human side of things, go for General's Enforcer, Tajic, Legion's Edge Judith, the Scourge Diva and this kind of stuff. The Enforcer is low key one of the best cards of the deck. Giant Killer is also a great option to have some more removal and is just a decent card for the stats, quite easy to get it to be a 2/3 or even more with Tajic, it should be in the main deck ALWAYS, since this deck is really light on interaction. I really dont like Hero of the Nyxborn in this deck, it lacks synergy, if all you want is two humans for one body, there are way better options out there Skyknight Vanguard is cute and all, it can make you some wide boards (not probable tough, we all know it is removal bait) but even if it does, there is a HUGE problem with it. It doesnt create humans or knights, and a bunch of 1/1 just dont cut it in this format. If you are thinking about it for a Winnota combo, just dont. The token it creates does NOT trigger Winnota when it is created, because it doesnt techncally "attack" on that combat, it is created already attacking For the manabase... IMO just dont get fancy... 12 shock lands, a couple of triomes if you want and fill the rest with basics, this deck doesnt want to lose a single turn to tapped mana, SPECIALLY during the first 3, so I think that Passage is just a waste, and helps decks that want to use your grave for something (not common, but it is just a drawback). The Tournament Grounds lose a lot of value if you are not full on knights, so I cut them in my list Other two cards I would suggest you look into are Boros Challenger and Whisper Squad, they may look like not that much, but they are surprisingly helpful

I'd personally drop Corpse Knight. You have 2 very valuable creatures at 2 CMC that you want to prioritize playing, Priest #1 and Fiend #2. Cruel Celebrant is great because its trigger relies on creatures dying, and can be played later on in the game when you are set up. Corpse Knight wants you to play creatures after it is down, making it compete with your important 2 drop slot.

Garrison Cat might be worse than a card like Serrated Scorpion, Gutterbones, or Whisper Squad, since they have higher upside than 2 lame 1/1s. Whisper and Gutterbones are nice as they allow you to use unspent mana from Priest. Scorpion is a great target to play repeatedly with Lurrus or Call.

I've got a deck that is very similar to yours on my profile if you need some inspiration, it is Mono-Black so you can save some wildcards on lands if you're on a budget. Also it is extremely consistent since there is no splash/multi color requirement.
