Have you found it necessary to run 26? I more than think this deck could run 24. Also what are you considering for sideboard? Pearl Lake Ancient is a solid pick, and a ridiculous bomb that will smash your way to victory with how often you seem to be able to control the board. Drown in Sorrow can set up a nice scry for some card pulling and the more deck manipulation you run in control the more consistent you can be

Thanks for the feedback! I haven't really had time to either build this deck in real life or test it much online, so it is pretty rough at the moment, as you can tell. :)Essentially the idea is to use the standard blue/black control shell , with the added Waste Not/Dark Deal combos for serious advantage. I am not sure whether or not to run more or less lands, but seeing as it plays very much like a control deck, I was thinking more on the high end, so I went for 26. I am pretty sure it could work well with 25 as well, not sure if it could be optimal at 24 however.As for a sideboard, I was considering the Pearl Lakes, for as you can tell this deck is very light on threats if they do not discard any creatures (making zombies with Waste Not), so against control. Your gameplan in that situation is to disrupt their hand enough that they can't deal with an Ugin or Silumgar. Therefore, sideboarding in more threats, of Pearl Lake Ancient, Silumgar, the Drifting Death, or, one of my favourites, Prognostic Sphinx, is one of my priorities.The other matchup that seems less than favourable is aggro, be it red/white, jeskai, or mono-red. So yes, Drown is Sorrow is another great card there, along with some Crux of Fates? Also probably Monastery Sieges will go into the sideboard, great in the control and burn matchups with both modes.Thanks again for the feedback, I will keep trying to perfect this list, especially when Dragons of Tarkir comes out, Silumgar's Command is definitely going in. Brings way to much flexibility and advantages to not include.***Also sorry for the wall of text.***
