Akuba's Offering

Might consider Victim of Night it's only 1 more mana and in almost all situations is a certain kill. If you're feeling kinda zainy you could even do Snuff Out .
I'm not sure how concerned you are with gaining life but because you have Gray Merchant I am going to also recommend Crypt Incursion and Gift of Orzhova and maybe even Rite of Consumption or Foul-Tongue Shriek .
I'm not sure how off the top of my head but you could probably do something kinda neat with Black Mana Battery and Wicked Akuba . Maybe nuke em when they are low enough.
Other than that I'm not super sure. I like the deck a lot!

If you look at most EDH decks, the bulk of their cards fall on the 2 to 4 CMC slots. I would try out stuff like Kami of the Waning Moon, Hired Muscle, Farbog Revenant, Crypt Ghast, Baleful Eidolon, Lost Soul, Mindwarper, Morkrut Banshee, Nether Shadow, Pale Rider of Trostad, Searchlight Geist, Keening Banshee, Souldrinker, Skulking Ghost, Thief of Hope, Vampiric Spirit, Wicked Akuba, Death Denied, Horobi's Whisper, Soulless Revival, Three Tragedies, Swallowing Plague.
Everything else is too expensive or pretty terrible.

I think Liliana's Specter might be interesting (for example instead of Wicked Akuba).

Pauper spirits with Tortured Existence is fun, especially using cards like Plagued Rusalka along with cards like Ashen-Skin Zubera, Dripping-Tongue Zubera and Floating-Dream Zubera. Thief of Hope is a great engine for life drain and getting spirits back to the hand.
If you're keeping the soulshift creatures, I would consider adding Shinen of Life's Roar as a finisher along with Wicked Akuba.
Gnaw to the Bone is solid for survivability, Death Denied is an arcane spell that can get some creature cards back to the hand.
Kravix on Wicked Akuba with Spiteful Returned …
6 years ago
I have a Wicked Akuba creature with Spiteful Returned as Enchantment - Aura on them. I declare attack with my Wicked Akuba (Bestowed by mentioned Enchantment) and deal 2 damage to enemy player on Attack declaration. Does this damage allows me to use Wicked Akuba's ability before enemy's blocking phase?

I like what you're doing here, Dash Hopes is vicious! I think I might add it to my own deck.
There is a couple of things I don't quite agree with:
1) The play set of Wicked Akuba. It would benefit from some type of evasion, or even deathtouch, but it doesn't. More often than not, it's a bear. I think I'd rather see either another type of removal, or Chittering Rats, which has the always effective ETB effect. If your looking for something to help the devotion, another decent creature could be Dauthi Slayer: opponent can't chump block, which forces them to expend a removal spell.
2) Pharika's Cure seems too cute of a card. It's essentially a 2 cmc 4 life gain, strictly worse than Lone Missionary or Rest for the Weary, but in Black. Once again, I'd rather see some type of removal, or hand disruption, something that impacts the board state a bit more.
Thanks for sharing! You got an upvote!

is Crypt Rats very expensive? Not so much and it is wildly better than anything else on the list.
Literally anything else is better than Wicked Akuba. I would go for 4 Cuombajj Witches.
Cut 2 rend for 2 Corrupt.
