A beautiful tag in the form of "rotation proof" made me click the deck with a beautiful, simple description. Bravo! Other ppl on the site should be taking notes.
As far as the deck goes, well the curve seems too heavy to support the combat tricks, I would instead try to focus on removal or ramp.

A very interesting build, but please insert a description, because as is, I can't really see the justifications for some cards, or the full power of the concept.

Thank you very much. The miscreants serve a lot of purposes in the deck however, faeries for Spellstutter Sprite, flyers for Ninja (Which most people run more of) and lastly they are things your opponents will waste removal on due to the aforementioned benefits of the card. The synergy they have with themselves is really just icing on the cake.

IDK, it's not that I don't have the time to post on decks, as well as post decks, more often, I just usually find little to no reason to, there is just so much junk from people who don't even understand what I am trying to say. I still comment like every other day though.

Rune snag might be better than mana leak due to all your graveyard interactions, especially Ancient Excavation.
I agree on Squee having big potential in the deck.
Besides that, I don't really know, Nightscape Familiar seems quite out of place but I am not sure what the replacement would be quite yet, everything that comes to mind seems suboptimal.

Huh, I suppose I will check it out as well, I never really got around to poking in ponza enough, it's about time to change that I think, thanks.

Very, very well said, one can almost feel your love for the deck, but perhaps it's just the pox player in me totally feeling ya xD.
Anyway, I totally agree on... basically everything, especially the rules change, I was a few days from buying boros LD for modern, had all the b/b and flagstones trades setup and then the freaking change hit... Gah, nevermind.

I can't really disagree on anything here, but to pitch in my two cents as well:
1. More fninishers, either more GDD or dragons, depending on your metageame you can choose between stormbreath and thundermaw.

2. No Faithless Lootings, the card is truly not needed in the deck and you can find (especially with trinisphere) much better replacemnts in the form of more LD or blood moon.

3. If you are gonna keep boom//bust in, I would suggest at least a couple darksteel citadels to make for some explosive draws.

Whilst it is useful, waste not is... sub-optimal to say the least. That is the conclusion most people, myself included, reach when testing the card in 8rack specifically.

I feel like it adds a lot of consistency to getting the combo

Volt Charge is such an extremely fresh and cool idea, bravo! Not to mention my love for pox and red prison decks

It aint no dissing man, just stating facts about the statistical and gameplay affecting inferiority, if the minimum card requirement was 20 you would only see 20 card decks, less is always better due to the higher chance of drawing the best cards.
And a very nice fix to the deck, may I suggest Lightning Bolt instead of shock? Or lightning helix perhaps?

Uhm... What? Though, I dare not question it, I don't think I have the time or willpower to go through this one

Not a matter of OCD, though I suppose I a one for not breaking the mold to achieve literally a no benefit all drawback situation.
To explain more in depth the things I was saying.

1. There is a reason for decks sticking to the 60 card limit and never peaking above (save 100 card formats ofc.) The reason being that statistically speaking, it is terrible, atrocious, suuuper bad for consistency, for your winrate even.
So the first thing I'd do is go to 60 cards.

2. No dual lands, take Boros Guildgate, Wind-Scarred crag, Clifftop retreat, Sacred foundry, even Evolving wilds, fixing is needed.

3. To go up to 6 mana on turn 6 consistently enough to make 6 mana cards worth running, you would need at least 24 lands in 60 cards

I am simply posing arguments for improving the deck, and yes, for the first, and perhaps this comment as well, they may have come across as aggressive or insulting, but cold logic is the way I go around things.

I struggle to wrap my head around this one, FNM with a non standard deck, right? What is the format of your FNM then?
furthermore, the deck is extremely scattershot, a "basic black" starter deck would look like this. Neither midragne nor control, and definitely not aggro or combo. I would love to help but simply don't know how, don't know what the deck is meant to be, seeing as how your description simply describes all that black does, and so does your deck. And ramming "all" into any deck never works out.

Just out of curiosity, why copy a bad deck, and change neither the description nor the deck itself?

extremely well said DedWards, I think you really mentioned everything, besides the lack of draw the deck could suffer from in red, as well as the lack of draw here in this one, Harmonize and/or Commune would be my go to cards for that but you did not fail to mention those too so good job again.
