Deck discussion for All my Blue, Black, and White Cards

To many one of's. Try to limit the number of single cards in your deck. Focus on a theme for the deck and put complete playsets of cards in. If you dont have playsets, have as many of the each card as you can.

zxc is right. Determine your strongest cards and play four copies of those. Is having a single copy of Holy Day or Jump any useful?

you should cut it down to 1 or 2 colors, pick a theme and stick to it. if your deck doesn't do at least one thing consistently, quickly and well, it'll never survive a tournament environment. 1 of's are alright if its a utility deck, but its easier (and often cheaper) to build something a bit more straightforward.

questions you should ask yourself when building the deck:
1) whats the most common mana cost of my cards? (if its more than 3 its a problem, and honestly 2 is better)
2) when is my first card likely to be played? (if its not rounds 1 or 2, there's something wrong)
3) how hard will it be to cast each card in a timely manner (any card that's going to be hard or very hard to cast in most games should be eliminated, or the deck should be adjusted to make them easier to cast, depending on the importance of the card)
4) how am I going to accelerate my mana? (its not an absolute must, but good mana acceleration can really make the difference in a lot of matches)
5)what is my win condition? (if you don't know the answer, then you need to rework the deck. generally speaking you should concentrate on one or possibly two win conditions. anything else should be side boarded for special situations)
6) how much is it going to cost me to build this deck? (assuming that your building it with cards you don't already own and that money is an issue. if you look at the tournement decks here you'll notice that the cards in some them total up to $100 or more, which I doubt most people can afford)
7) whats my mana ratio? (should be about 2 lands per 3 of anything else, unless you have really good mana acceleration. Elf decks are a good example of this)
8) how many cards are in my deck? (if its less than 60 then its not legal. if its more than 60 then its probably not reliable, though it'll be up to you to decide that for yourself).
9) how many copies of each card do I want? ( 1 if you'd like to run into them every now and again (or can search for them), 2 if you want to find them mid game but don't need/want them earlier. 3 if you want enough that you can lose one early game and still have a decent chance of finding another, 4 if they provide a vital function to the deck at a relatively low cost and aren't legendary. but these are just general guild lines and can/should be ignored depending on your deck's theme/resources.)

you might also check the official website, there should be a lot of articles on good deck building practices that explain which cards to choose and why.

Ok since ive read dpopinski's comment and scottojr's about the deck wanting to run a black card and white deck, I suggest a draw dmg or draw mill deck. Which ever seems more likable. Im assuming you want to use spiteful visions to its fullest extent. if case be that then the deck will be extended and not standard legal. As for color choice, since spiteful is either black or red and you want to use jani (planeswalker pet name) then id say go black with a splash of white. Cards you might be interested in are font of mythos, howling mines, silence, more oblivion rings, possibly elspeth, doomblades, corrupt, pestilence, tendrils of corruption, pacifisms, day of judgements/wrath of gods, damnation, or some of the newer allies from zendikar. If you are interested in older cards, akroma, dark rituals, thrulls, maybe enemy colored cards from ravnical block, or something possibly from time spiral or onslaught. Torment was a nice set for black but i dont think it would fit with your theme.
