Deck discussion for Death has no Hold

I think that plain 'ol Lich or Lich's Tomb would work better than the Nefarious one in your deck. "Sac a permanent" rather than "Exile a card in your graveyard" seems to work a lot better with recursion engines. Also makes Grave Pact a little funnier. They damage you, you sac permanents instead, and then they sac permanents as well...

I'd also suggest some way of gaining life, so you have a way of refilling your hand with the lich. Like, maybe replace the Death's Shadows with Vampire Nighthawk or Child of Night. I just don't think you're running enough of a life-loss package to feed Death's Shadow with as it stands.

While that is true, it's also a variable 13/13. And by that, I mean that the only case anyone would ever be likely to cast it in this deck is after a Lich or Pact. Personally, I think that adding some lich-protection and life gain (card draw with the lich out) would help the deck out more... After all that, just one Disenchant would kill you.

I'm also a little prejudiced against Death's Shadow since it underperformed in every deck I've played it in, so perhaps take my recommendation with a grain of salt.
