After following some suggestions and the drop of rivals I have made changes. I have removed ruin rat for dire fleet poisoner, added four lands, mainboarded a bontus last reckoning and a Vraskas Contempt, removed 2x gonti and Yahenni and also replaced skymarch bloodletter with sadistic skymarcher.

I also added 2x dinosaur hunter to the sideboard.

I would suggest replacing Ruin Rat with Aether Poisoner. I don't see why you would need the exile effect, so even if you don't want to swing, it's just as good. It also opens up for using Glint-Sleeve Siphoner.

If you plan on making use of God-Pharoah's Gift, include 2-3 copies of Gate to the Afterlife. Otherwise you will end up with the gift in hand, before you get the gate half of your games, and im not sure you want that.

Your curve is very low, so the curse seems bad. If you plan on making a high tempo play by investing in a one-drop on t1, then you don't want to immediately fall behind again on turn 2/3. If you want to slowly drain, may I suggest a card like Torment of Scarabs. You will unlikely want to play Trespasser's Curse before turn 4 anyway, and by then they will only have to play around 4-6 creatures to beat you. Torment of Scarabs on the other hand, will likely trigger 3-5 times, which should grant you better value.

Also be aware that Walk the Plank does not hit merfolk, which will likely soon be very relavant.

As mono b aggro player, i can suggest u some tips : 4 copies of Gonti are too much, as legendary creature u wont see him much more than 2 copies for game.Also , Gonti is a sideboard answers to many decks.

Same for Yahenni, try 3 max copies with Last Reckoning into play for the combo.Dread wanderer is a super card, and u need that for the Ruin rat. Also Scrap-heap Scrounger is a must-have, u can put it for viciuos conquistador.

I dont'like the god's pharoh's gift, as u need a different deck to build for this kind of deck.Put Vraska Contempt and/or Never/Return for some copies of Walk the plank.You absolutely need x4 Fatal push for the Trespasser's Curse.

Tylerdurden803 if you wanted to show off your decklist, you could have just posted a link. Seems like a solid deck though. Also, remember to press enter twice to go to a new line.

Just like that...
