Go To Hell? Come With Me First. (HELP PLEASE)

Modern Budget Competitive Cruel Control Midrange Mono-Black

Please check out my other mono-colored deck:

Ain't No Basic Mountain High Enough.

CREATURES:

Blood Artist: If you're running a deck that focuses on sacrificing creatures, spot removal, and board wipes, you NEED to have him as playset. I can't tell you how many times this guy has won me a game.

Gatekeeper of Malakir : Pretty much a black Grizzly Bear that comes with a sacrifice spell. ALWAYS pay the kicker.

Geralf's Messenger: Pretty much needs no explanation. There's so many combos you can do with this guy. If you have a one Blood Artist or more in play, cast a Geralf's Messenger, it deals 2 damage to your opponent, then cast a Mutilate, wipe the board, the Blood Artist(s) trigger, Geralf's Messenger's Undying trigger goes off, and he comes back with a +1/+1 counter and hit your opponent with 2 more damage. Or you could just Devour Flesh and target him and deal 4 damage while gaining 2 life.

Phyrexian Obliterator: Once he gets out, your opponent pretty much has a 2-3 turn clock before they ragequit.

Vampire Nighthawk : Lifelink and deathtouch are always good in a monoblack deck. Say goodbye to your Tarmogoyf!!

INSTANT:

Devour Flesh: As previously stated, I mainly use this on Geralf's Messenger but you could also use this to get rid of any hexproof creatures if you can get them alone.

Dismember : Just an amazing card that gets rid of things like Tarmogoyf, Thundermaw Hellkite , Falkenrath Aristocrat , and any other big threat they may have.

Grasp of Darkness: A really underrated card that no one really plays. -4/-4 is just so good and take out a lot of stuff.

SORCERY:

Distress: Even though it comes in a turn later than a Thoughtseize, you don't have to pay 2 life and it pretty much does the same thing. Plus, it doesn't cost $50.

Mutilate: An amazing boardwipe that gets rid of EVERYTHING, including any stupid indestructible creatures.

Still don't have a sideboard so if you guys could help me out, that'd be great!!

I know any monoblack midrange/control deck is pretty much useless without Phyrexian Obliterator but I don't have any right now. Once I acquire some, I'll throw them in.

I also don't have a sideboard yet so if you guys could help me out there as well.
