Deck Description

Been testing it now for a few days with great Results. 8-2 record.

Allow me to explain my reasoning for this deck.

Artifacts
I have Ratchet Bomb in there to allow me to deal with me pesky enchantments/ artifacts/ creatures. I like to have a charge on them from 1 to 3.
Porcelain Legionnaire allows me to have a striking advantage/ have my opponents hesitant to attack.
Lashwrithe, i like to pair this up with either preferably the Phyrexian O or The Legionnaire for a deathly combo. Game finisher.

Creatures
Vengeful Pharaoh has the ability to come back once dead and deathouch witch i really like.
NOW im going with 20 lands. I know thats a tad low but my mana curve has allowed me to do this. THIS is not for every deck.
Phyrexian O, my go to card but i do believe i have back up in case he fails.

Spells
These spells help stay in the game and deal with creatures and sign in blood to get a card advantage for just 2 mana! come on.

Sideboard
I choose duress over revoke existence even though i love this card. The one mana drop i couldn't resist. I have both memoricide and sever the bloodline in case i need to annihilate a card in turn 4 if it really proved to be a game changer for my opponent.

I would appreciate any criticism or insight in ways that you would go about making this deck better.

Deck discussion for Mono Black Obliterator

The crusader is out if place here, you can easily remove them to add a 4th Oblit. Id also like to see another sign in blood added. You really need to maximize your draw potential for mbc since most of your cards fly out of your hand. Otherwise, excellent choice with the Porcelain, he fits here well with Lashwrithe.

Hope these ideas help. If you get a moment, please take a look at my Probing Time deck ( http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=344642 ). Or, if that deck doesn't suit your taste, feel free to look at any one of my decks by clicking on my name to see my deck list. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

thanks for the input @RustedBucket. The only reason i havent added a 4th Oblit is because of budget (hopefully in the coming ill go buy one) and yea the Legionnaire adds that quick strike, he often clears the table or holds hes own until i can put some things together.
Now after i add a 4th Oblibetator and a 4th Sign In blood what 2 cards would you add to this deck ?

I don't have much experience with the Standard format, but the decks seems to be quite stable. I would do the same changes like mentioned above.
