If you used all black creatures for this deck you could add Balthor the Defiled which works insanely with buried alive. I know. I've done it. ; )

Sooo basically since I noticed a minor lack of creatures and creature control in here, I took out loxodon warhammer and added meekstone. Now to test it....
Oooh I like that. ; )
No because damage prevention doesn't cover life loss. Life loss can't be prevented. The good thing about Stern Judge however is that you don't have to use it every turn. I'd say keep it but only tap it if you have more life than your opponent and the same ammount or less of lands. Then it's effective just like Pestilence in my deck.
Actually... what am I talking about... lol. Sorry I was looking at 2 decks at once. You shouldn't actually have much trouble with mana but still I think Quicksand should be replaced with Cabal Coffers. Either keep Nightmare or switch it for Mind Sludge.
Afflict is a shitty card. Replace it with Specter's Wail. It's not bad but I have a feeling you're going to have some trouble playing some of your more expensive cards which you have alot of. I'd take out the 2 Nightmares and add Dark Rituals and maybe replace the Quicksands with Cabal Coffers.
Oh never mind. Stern Judge would still hurt you. But Karma wouldn't.
I really like this idea. It'll make things extremely chaotic. Another card to consider is Mind Sludge. You could also add a Circle of Protection: White so you wouldn't be damaged by Karma or Stern Judge.
I also added Insidious Dreams.
I added the 2 Thrulls but I don't know if they're gonna do what I need or if I need something to give me actual swamps instead...
I need something that'll let me get swamps out faster. And possibly another cheap creature that will still be effective in the early game and while I have pestilence out.
Yeah I threw in despoil just because I didn't know what else to put in and I didn't have anything to slow down an opponent. Darksteel Brute and Mishra's Factory will both keep pestilence alive if turned into a creature at the very end of your turn. And basically the reason I need both is because Pestilence damages me also since I didn't add white for Circle of Protection: Black. I need multiple sources of life gain to counteract it instead. But if I get Pestilence and Stuffy Doll out with a bunch of land, it's complete ass rape because I can deal 2 damage to them for each black mana I put into Pestilence and only 1 to me.
I think this is gonna need some adjustments, any constructive feedback is appreciated.
