I have become enamored with Horobi, Death's Wail. Here is a rough draft! Help needed!

Key interactions:

Horobi makes any targeting spell or ability into a kill spell, meaning we shut off Aura and Equipment decks, cut off a lot of interaction, and get to play some interesting spells. Stuff like Touch of Darkness and Cauldron of Souls become fascinating boardwipes, and cheap spells like Lose Hope become one mana kill a creature and scry 2(or gain life, draw cards, etc).

I want to run stuff like Lifeline and Endless Whispers, as I don't want this deck to be too oppressive, and because I want to repeatedly get those death triggers.

Since we can't run equipment or instant speed protection, I'm going to need a lot of recursion, protection like Eldrazi Monument, and ramp to recast my commander.

As mentioned, I like lots of "whenever a creature dies" triggers. There will be a lot of death. Harvester of Souls, Grave Pact, Shadows of the Past, Pawn of Ulamog, etc.

Revel in Riches is a main win-com at the moment. There is some other treasure support in here too. It's nice because if it doesn't pan out I still get some treasures :)

Toshiro Umezawa and Sentinel Tower might be really important if I go heavy into instants/sorceries. They're on the back burner for now.

I have the standard mono-black ramp package. Lands, swamp doublers, etc.

Lots to be done and think about. All help and suggestion appreciated!
