Your curve is way too low to warrant 23 lands. Drop it to 22.

Desecration demon is perfect for this build. He puts the opponent on a turn 4 clock, and since you have so much creature control, they won't be able to tap him out. Plus, he is super cheap. If you were to change 1 think about this deck, add 4 desecration demons.

You basically can't run mono-black without phyrexian obliterator. Arguably the best beater in the game as your opponent can't/won't burn him off or chump block him and he can come out turn 4 in a mono-black build. It's slightly pricey, so I'm not sure if you are interested.

Phyrexian arena would be a good idea as well. You don't have any other sources of self-life drain, and the card advantage should be more than enough to justify the 1 life per turn.

In an ideal world, you would run bitterblossom, but that's super expensive.


Currently you only have 10 creatures, which is pretty slim. I would try and get it up to 15 at least. Squelching leeches is a cheaper alternative to obliterator if you don't want to shell out the money.
