Addition of Lost Legacy to the sideboard! —Nov. 2, 2016
One of our biggest weaknesses is enchantments or combo threats right now, we have no way to deal with them other than strip them out of our enemies hand, which is good only of it is currently in their hand. I'm adding Lost Legacy as a better option on the sideboard for removing these threats as I have absolutely gotten wrecked when cards like Fevered Visions have resolved. I'm removing Dead Weight because we already are very removal heavy and can afford its loss. We run Flaying Tendrils already in the aggro matchup, so cheap singleton removal won't hurt us to badly.
If you can't afford the Lilianas I would fill out the playsets of Ob Nixilis Reignited Thought-Knot Seer and Grasp of Darkness. But if you can get the Lilianas they really make a difference.

I really like the addition of Deadlock Trap. This deck is based less on creatures and more on instant kill and tap outs (which I really enjoy) in contrast to the one I made since I run Morbid Curiosity and Smuggler's Copter.
Solid foundation, I like it; +1!
Do you ever have trouble casting Demon of Dark Schemes? I might add him into my sideboard, but I'm not 100% on it (Give Me Your Hands!)

Indexxical, thanks for the +1, I'll definitely take a look at your deck. As for casting the demon, I occasionally run into trouble casting it against control, but it's better used in midrange and aggro matches anyways. That being said we have enough hand hate packed in that it still resolves in those games, it's just a bit of chess to play it after drawing out counters or stripping them away.

I love the look of this deck, just bought some of the cards i was missing to make it myself, do you have any suggestions as replacements for the liliana's though? as those are expensive as hell and i'd rather not break the bank on a deck i've never played XD
