Fun deck. Looks like a cross between my mono black casual and suicide decks. I feel that this being classified as a suicide deck is a misnomer. To call it that, you need some balls-to-the-wall cards like Death Cloud, Necropotence--recklessly powerful cards. Also, add search and draw to make it both more consistent and faster. Two favorites of mine for mono black are Sign in Blood and Beseech the Queen. Furthermore, if you're into cards like Dash Hopes and Temporal Extortion, look into Choice of Damnations--one of my all time favorite cards.

Card combos like Thoughtsieze + Extirpate or similar with Nightmare Incursion are very good for mill decks, because you can mill all of the greatest threats from their deck selectively and quite early. Just a suggestion.
I'm suprised there is nothing like Helm of the Ghastlord, Extirpate, and Nightmare Incursion.
I have a deck pretty similar to this, but I splash blue to utilize Teferi's Veil to dodge the sacrificing costs. http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=220358
I'm surprised that Purity isn't in this deck. Not that it needs it--just feels right for mono-white deck.
Wow. This deck is nasty. I highly approve.
I like it. I've been messing around with a pure black deck. I don't have much experience with mono-black though. Trying to do a mix of reanimator/madness. I digress. Good work!
My friend, this needs some Winter Orb.
I have a decent illusion tribal before all of these new really powerful illusion cards were released. It uses Mistform Wall and Legerdemain for siezing major threats. It has somnophore too. Easily one of my favorite Illusions.
For future reference, there is a small white text box immediately left of any card you have placed in your deck. You can change the number value to the desired amount of cards you wish to have in that deck. Just be sure to save your changes before navigating to another page.
I had a deck VERY similar to this one. A difference that comes to mind though was it had Cephalid Constable and Diviner's Wand. Wings of Velis Vel too.
Needs Glimmerpost.
I have a Red/Blue deck that does some land destruction. I use Vision Charm to turn all lands into Plains, then cast Flashfires. What's nice is that the charm has multiple uses.
I considered making a deck very simular to this some time ago. My one suggestion would be to add Bant Sureblade.
Thanks for the comment. I definately considered Pestermite, but ultimately I didn't think it would be necessary. One card I am still heavily weighing in on putting it is the enchantment Sigil of Sleep.
The defense on this is too thin for the speed at which it proliferates. Every infect deck needs 4 Thrummingbirds. Graft would also do this deck a great deal of good in increasing both it's damage and defense. You have lots of inexpensive creatures, but I don't feel Jace is adequate enough to keep your hand moving since you could very likely be out of cards in your hand by turn 3. Jace + Surgical Extraction are also a wonderful mill combo, but milling feels out of place for this deck if you plan on winning by infect/proliferate. My suggestions: Add Graft & Thrumming birds. Replace Jace with Ponders, and consider using cheap but very powerful enchantments like Curiousity to keep your and moving, and Sigil of Sleep to bounce creatures if you keep your defense light.
This deck is absolutely phenominal! I've been trying to make an illusion deck, but I've had very little success in making one effective. There are a great deal of cards here that I wasn't even aware existed, yet are exactly what I need. Brine elemental is going to allow me to have ALOT of fun with Shimmer. Thanks Ixidor_co2!
Looks great, though I am alittle confused by Ichor Wellspring. If you put in a Vision Charm, it would get alot more mileage.
I prefer Wall of Souls over Wall of Bone.
