TS/IoK package is the absolute best t1 in black. I'd personally run Fatal Push as my 9th-12th 1-mana spells, and Knight of the Ebon Legion to round out the bottom of the deck.

The best interaction in modern plus a creature that can do quite a lot.

Then you have 2-drops. I'd run Gifted Aetherborn and Yarok's Fenlurker. Your 1x Tymaret is solid as well.

For bigger stuff, you have a variety of choices. IMO, your big stuff is all pretty good. Obliterator, Gatekeeper, Messenger, Kalitas are awesome. Nighthawk is reasonable. If you want card draw, though, just use Sign in Blood and Night's Whisper.

Lazotep Plating is a COOL idea, I might have to try that! I also keep intending to find a spot for Dreamscape Artist...

I cut Dire Fleet Ravager just because I wasn't certain if I could push through enough life loss in that single turn to not die on the backswing, but I might have to try him again. How have you found it?

I didn't run Obsessive Stitcher because it conflict with my commander's cost, and I found Tideforce Elemental to be a problem because it required the additional blue for the untap.

I'm running Floating-Dream Zubera and Ashen-Skin Zubera over Yarok's Fenlurker because they give me a stronger ability to combine them. It's pretty easy to do both at the same time! Chronic Flooding is interesting.

Overall, this seems like a great list, I can't wait to see where it goes... :D

Ooooo, I hadn't thought about Yarok's Fenlurker, that's spicy...

I'll check out your list in more detail tomorrow morning!

Hagra Mauling  ^Flip in the cave slot? especially as Feed the Swarm now slots nicely in the erase slot. i also really like Yarok's Fenlurker and feel its possibly the best 2 drop off of a turn 1 druress id try and find a way to run 4. speaking off, id probably go 4 duress

Spark Harvest is a option for pw removal possibly better than your current option

Demonic Embrace could also work as a 2 off stick it on a Fenlurker or chupacabra after getting value for etb. also the fact you can ditch a land to have big flyer after a board wipe is pretty nice

if Spawn of Mayhem keeps droping it may be worth adding, maybe with soul flayer (sac theme with soul flayer, dire moon, kitesale, spawn and aether born could do some scary stuff)

Spark Harvest is a strict upgrade on your removal spell

Hello,

I don't think Thought Distortion belongs in this deck. It's meant to be used mostly as a sideboard card, possibly to be fetched with something like Fae of Wishes to really hit a hard on a control player that has a hand full of good stuff. In this deck, your opponent will be mostly empty-handed by the time you cast it. You will maybe make them discard 1 or 2 cards at best, if you're lucky.

Fetid Imp is pretty weak and taxes you 1 mana just to remain useful. If you really want a deathtouch creature, you could use Mire Triton instead, but if I was you I would use Yarok's Fenlurker instead, a typical 2 drop in any discard deck, and it would fuel your devotion better for Gray Merchant of Asphodel.

Kaervek, the Spiteful is an interesting addition, but since he's not always useful and is legendary, I would only run a single copy, maybe 2 if you really like him. Would kill a Yarok's Fenlurker if you decide to use some too.

Mire's Grasp and Dead Weight would work really well with Hateful Eidolon, could be an worthwhile addition. Btw, since you already run those as creature removal, you could swap some Grasp of Darkness for Eliminate so that you can also hit planeswalkers.

You should also run a few Castle Locthwain, no real reasons not to tbh.

Hopefully these suggestions are useful, cheers!

Nice combo spot with Gray, Ayara and Shepherd Titus7007! 14 damage to opponent, 14 life for you and a card draw at once :)

However, I think you did well putting in Murderous Rider instead. It should act more consistently.

My only concern now, if I may say, is Kaya's Ghostform here. I don't think you've got any key pieces that you need to secure, and some card draw or reocurring threat would be of use. As 3-CMC slot is already quite occupied (Liliana's Standard Bearer is tempting, though), maybe something for ? Yarok's Fenlurker with nice ETB & Devotion? Or Foulmire Knight for card draw & 1/1 Deathtouch body? Both you could recur with Lurrus of the Dream-Den and Call of the Death-Dweller if need be...

I think you are dipping into too many styles of play with your deck selection. If you streamline into a certain style of build I think you will have some more success. Looking at the choices of cards you've picked, I think a Mono-Black aggressive style Vito deck would suit what you are looking for.

Early turns you can play creatures such as; Vampire of the Dire Moon (4), Serrated Scorpion (4), Priest of Forgotten Gods (4), Yarok's Fenlurker (4)

Your mid-game would be; Vito, Thorn of the Dusk Rose (3), Ayara, First of Locthwain (3), Dread Presence (4)

And finishers in the form of; Nightmare Shepherd (4), Gray Merchant of Asphodel (3)

Pack some removal in the form of; Murderous Rider (3), Eliminate (3)

and then 21 Swamp and there's your deck! (Castle Locthwain if you've got em)
