Deck discussion for MonoBlack Control - Modern

A worthy effort, but I can't see this working in modern. Any reason why the staples are missing?

I am still testing this out. About your input:

- Dark Confidant : costs are too high to run dark conf
- Vampire: I use baleful ammit instead because It can reset geralf's with counters
- lashwrithe: sounds like a good idea, I will take this into account, ty
- Liliana: I totally despise liliana
- Korlash: I had never seen this card before, I'll consider this, ty
- Kalitas: I'm current considering it
- Gatekeeper: no room for this one in my deck
- dismember: nah I prefer my other removals
- phyrexian arena: I tested this one and underwold connections out, the results were not satisfying
- Wrench Mind: I have other ideas for sideboard

Dark Confidant: Fair
Vampire: Fair, I can see that combo being better than flying and deathtouch
lashwrithe: Glad to help
Liliana: Despise? Well, it's not really an argument now is it? I hate planeswalkers as such - all of them, yet I still run them. Emotion plays no part here.
Korlash: Glad to help
Kalitas: Good
Gatekeeper: I think you could afford to cut something for it - make your removal even more diverse, you already have kills for all situations except hexproof and indestructible, Gatekeeper solves both. I guess Zenith does a bit against those, but it requires a lot of mana.
dismember: Fair
phyrexian arena: And you current draw spells were?
Wrench Mind: fair
Fatal push: It's more of a meta thing, a glean from mtggoldfish would indicate that even without revolt it would be good. But your meta might not be that of mtg online. And in all likelihood is not.

Heya, happy new year,

I have considered the following:

- right now the deck is running 6 draw spells: 4 sign in blood/ night's whispers. I am considering switching 1 sign in blood and the 2 read the bones out for 3 ob nixilis planeswalker so the deck has a source of card draw and removals as a thread.

-geralf messengers are fine but they are usually quite slow. I have found myself in scenarios in which the 2 life loss wasnt relevant and the etb tapped screwed my chances of blocking high dmg creatures. Therefore I would like to test switching them out for gatekeepers of malakir. Since there would no longer be any geralf, ammits could behave replace for vampire nighthawks.

- as for kalitas I'm sure I can find a spot for a singleton

- a last thing to mention is that Im currently testing Curse of Deathhold, a 4 of. With a couple in play massacre wurm can wipe everything out a take a bunch of lifes from opponent

I can completely agree on everything except two things:
1. 3 Ob Nix seems heavy to me in a deck with no mana ramp, it feels too slow for modern, but I would go for it and see how it goes, the reason being that any draw spell that is not an instant or a creature is really slow in modern xD

2. The curse is always either amazing and close to game winning, especially if you can get it on turn 4, or it is the worst card in your deck. And seeing as how your deck already deals with creatures in a beautiful manner, I tend to believe that it would be on the useless side more often than not.
