It's so nice that black is FINALLY getting ways to deal with enchantments. While it's slower, I generally prefer Feed the Swarm over Pharika's Libation. It's certainly a close call and both have their uses depending on the deck.

If you're running a blue deck around unblockable creatures, you must have Sigil of Sleep. It's devastating.
Not bad, though a bit inconsistent. I kind of messed with a UW bird deck, but it turned into something else. I would recommend replacing Banishing Light with Ariel Assault. Favorable Winds would also do well here. Maybe have that instead of Angel of Vitality.
Don't you think leaning in As Foretold is going to be slow or unreliable? I would think at least some Transmute would do you well, like Drift of Phantasms. It can either be an excellent blocker or a fetch for your enchantment.
You need Paradox Haze for getting extra upkeeps. Power Conduit, Timecrafting, etc. also lets you remove suspend counters. Same goes for creatures like Johria's Timebug and Rift Elemental. If you're moving counters and getting extra upkeeps, also consider Chronozoa (creature) and Followed Footsteps. PS: You have 74 mountains.
I would get rid of Malicious Affliction and Go for the Throat. Your creatures already take care of destruction. Your planeswalkers are also really expensive excessive. I would remove them too. Your mana curve is kind of rough, and you have almost no draw.I recommend Bonds of Mortality and Heroic Intervention. Both of those cards will let you deal with problems and an opponent's removal. Caravan Vigil and Life's Legacy should help your mana curve, mana distribution, and draw tempo.
Thanks for the comment. I do own Hooded Blightfang, and had it in this deck for a bit. It works really well with Bloodthirsty Aerialist, for sure. I kind of had it as sideboard material, but it ultimately might be a better fit. Gives me a non-vampire sacrifice outlet, pumps Aerialist, threatens planeswalkers, and gives more life to use on Pain's Reward.
Bold deck. Always fun to shoot for glory with a crazy deck like this. God help you if you play against any kind of removal or control though.
You’re not using mono black, or particularly zombies correctly. Go through your graveyard. Use cards like Buried Alive to get your win conditions in your graveyard, the animate them. One of my favorite animate spells is Victimize. Cards that allow you to mill your own deck in order to find your reanimate cards are also an excellent choice.
Blowfly Infestion and Fists of the Demigod are incredible with Kulrath Knight. Jund Hackblade and Grixis Grimblade are also in a deck like this.
Hrm, it seems you would be correct. I forgot that rebound had to be cast from hand. Thanks for pointing that out. I did know that copying with dual casting doesn't trigger the abilities, but the Rebound does. That's still 2 triggers for 3 mana, with an additional 2 damage for 1 mana if copied. Not a bad deal. It also interacts really well with Satyr Firedancer. I'd say its still a keeper. Thanks again for correcting me on Rebound though. Upvoted you.
Nice suggestion. Thank you. I haven't looked at this deck in ages. Talk about blast from the past.
Lava Spike can only damage a player and is absurdly expensive. I did consider Magma Jet though. I didn't know about Risk Factor. The Jump-Start ability could be really useful. Thanks for the suggestion. Dangerous Wager isn't a bad idea, but I can't say my hand is empty enough for that to make sense. Staggershock is really good in this deck, because it triggers the creature abilities twice for one cast, which is very valuable. Also, if I copy the Rebound with Dual Casting, I can keep it going indefinitely for one mana each turn.
Very creative. Looks like fun!
I'm surprised you don't have Typhoid Rats or Vampire Nighthawk.
Ordeal of NyleaCleansing Wildfire
Cool concept. I haven't really seen a deck like this before. The use of Hushbringer and Tocatil Honor Guard is brilliant. Clackbridge Troll is a really cool card. I haven't seen that one. Overall it doesn't seem totally optimized, but I like it. Again, really cool concept.
You're going to suffer greatly without Magus of the Mirror. I'd get rid of Lich's Tomb and Phyrexian Processor in particular. I see what you're doing with them, but I don't think they help. I'd recommend replacing them with some reanimation to get it out quicker, rather than Tutoring it. Entomb/Disentomb, Buried Alive, Reanimate, Necromancer's Apprentice, etc. will be really helpful.
At a glance, this looks really good. Does it actually play reliably?
Fated Infatuation would work well for this. I like it better than Cracking Counterpart. You may also want to consider Rite of Replication. Fog Bank and Wall of Tears are better blue walls. I get that you want to mill/copy with Jace's Mindseeker, but it's out of place. Unsubstantiate is also alot more flexible for a counterspell-lite utility.
