I also like the Venser's Journal + Necropotence, It's like a new and improved Ivory tower combo, but it allows you to have infinite cards, and you get life for each of them. The only problem is the mana cost :P.

I think you should put in a Safe Passage, and had a Leeches in the sideboard (in case you have to fight an Infect deck).

You could probably also put safe passage in the sideboard.

Also, Exsanguinate would be awesome for a multiplayer battle. (sorry about all the comments)

I think if you got a way to play all the cards you got through Necropotence it would be even more epic...

I've always loved looking at other Necropotence decks! Here are a couple of thoughts.

Realistically speaking, Venser's Journal is just ok. For 4 less mana you could play Ivory Tower for the life gain. For the hand size, Spellbook (0 CC), Library of Leng (1 CC), or Reliquary Tower (a land) will all net you the infinite hand size. While this strat relies on having more than one card, you have Necropotence out which will net you enough draw to get both elements onto the table at half (or less) the cost.

In the land department, Marsh Flats is crucial here as it will help you get the color you need at the time of draw (all while filtering your deck a little), and Scrublands (of course) if you have them. You could also consider Caves of Koilos (I know a lot of people aren't a fan of the pain lands but I think they're great). But most importantly, Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth would help considerably.

For some added life gain, there's always Drain Life and Consume Spirit. But if you want to stay the B/W path, Death Touch will do the same thing.

Vindicate for some removal if you need it.

If you'd like to see another take on Necropotence, take a look at my creature-less build. It's my personal favorite.
