Hey I'm not feeling well for the past few days. I want to take the time to provide some feedback for this deck when I can fully examine it. For now, cabal stronghold should be cut because you don't have enough basics.

Maybe add a Whispersilk Cloak and a Buried Ruin? Perhaps cut one of your swords? Body and mind seems the weakest.

Profet93 thanks for the suggestions. Thespian's Stage will be going in the deck though I have not had the chance to try Deserted Temple and the political aspects of the card. I will have to try Bubbling Muck is one I will have to try out to see if it is worth the slot over other repeatable mana sources. Wedding Invitation is one that I have been back and forth on and may swap in the Whispersilk Cloak for the reasoms you mentioned.

Bubbling Muck - Like rain of filth, but you keep your lands. Beware with urborg and opponents but it's a great ramp spell

Whispersilk Cloak > Wedding Invitation - While wedding replaces itself and is less mana hungry, silk is repeatable and forces interaction pre-combat

Deserted Temple - Untap coffers, nkythos + politics

Thespian's Stage - Copy coffers,deserted temple or opposing utility land.

Profet93- Thanks for the upvote and for asking!

Boardwipes are a problem for any deck that requires a board state. As there are few spells to truly combat boardwipes in mono black, this deck accepts that inevitability, and takes it a step further to exploit its own low toughness of the creatures, to squeeze as much benefit as we can from it.

Zulaport Cutthroat makes a nice aristocratic win, while Elixir gives another shot at a Thrumming Stone play, should a board wipe be limited to creatures. Both Grim Haruspex and Species Specialist allow for a hand refill should your board disappear, and the Elixir keeps your library full.

Ogre Slumlord replaces your nontoken rats with 1/1 rats, while also counting your opponents' dying critters, giving you ALL the rats, for a go-wide win.

Early game, hitting early and aggressively with 3/1 - 5/1 creatures puts you within win range around t6 with some form of modified evasion on a single creature (Rogue's Passage, Whispersilk Cloak, fear from Marrow-Gnawer, and either gravepact or Dictate of Erebos, or the zulaport cutthroat on the board.

Hope I could clear that up, if you have any more questions or suggestions, please feel free to comment further!

Hey just want to say I just built this and so far have been having a blast. I've changed a few things bc of personal preference. I reckon tho that there are some great land cards you could add that would make the deck just better; Witch's Clinic, Scavenger Grounds and Shizo, Death's Storehouse are fantastic lands that i think would help boost umbris. Also Whispersilk Cloak is a great card that ill be probably be adding this to my deck as well.

A few nice cards to add unblockability: Rogue's Passage, Key to the City, Sonic Screwdriver, and Whispersilk Cloak.

Since this deck is so commander-centric, I'd recommend probably cutting 4-5 of your least favorite ETB effects and replacing them with some protection for your commander:

Swiftfoot Boots, Whispersilk Cloak, etc.

As for cuts, I see some negative synergy with Young Necromancer + Specter of Mortality and things like Possessed Skaab or Cadaver Imp. I'd focus either on exiling creatures from your grave or returning them, not both.
