i'm trying to make a mostly creature mill deck with 4 Liliana's Indignation with Elixir of Immortality and/or a few Cranial Archive to do it all over again. so far other than those i have Grave Strength to use on a couple Revenant some Dusk Legion Zealot for creature based draw, and a few Sign in Blood
looking for some additions, this is hopefully gonna be a fun deck i plan for a few kill spells, but i wanna keep it mono black, and not terribly expensive if possible.

all those cards are nice, thanks. gonna cut Cranial Archive for the Perpetual Timepiece since it can leave the noncreatures for the delve of Murderous Cut, added in the Phyrexian Ragers, and ill have to get some Nighthowlers i swore i had a couple. also found some Dismembers and threw them in and take the slot for priciest card.
probably gonna get 2 of the Phyrexian Delver also.
Thanks guys

I've always considered Read the Bones to be better than sign in blood since it gives you the scry. It'll help to even out the mana curve a bit more, too.
For removal, I'd suggest Murderous Cut. It can hit anything, and the delve will help you cut noncreature spells out of your deck, allowing you to power both Grave Strength and Liliana's Indignation while cutting out Read the Bones, since you don't want to shoot yourself to much.
If you want more creature based card draw, Phyrexian Gargantua and Phyrexian Rager have the same effect as Dusk Legion Zealot.
Phyrexian Delver would be a good addition. In case you milled a creature you want, you can get it back. It does shoot you though, so I'd run no more than two in the deck.
Most importantly though, you'll want Nighthowler. It's a cheaper Revenant that also sees your opponent's graveyard. The only downside is the fact it doesn't fly. If that becomes an issue, you can bestow the Nighthowler onto the Revenant.
This seems like an incredibly fun deck idea, and I hope this helps!
