Deck discussion for Pure black

Gotta love the pure Black!

There's some very good things here, but I question some of the choices you have made. For example, Sinkhole is amazing, but in a build like this it seems out of place. You might consider moving the Sinkholes out in place for some life gain to help fuel your Necropotence. Consume Spirit or the good 'ole Drain Life would find a home here incredibly well.

The biggest concern I have, though, is the lack of draw. Granted Necropotence IS the best drawing mechanic in the game, you don't have too many tools that will help you dig for it. Cards like Sign in Blood might help get this necessary tool into your hand. With how Death Cloud and Pox work, you need a way to get your hand filled again so that you're not dead in the water with bad draw.

I love most of your defenses: Hymn, Duress, Edict, Disk (all cards I have in my Necro-deck). I question, though, Sudden Spoiling and Sudden Death. Damnation is even awkward as you should be able to maintain a clear board with those elements already.

That said, I would definitely try to make room for a Cabal Coffers or two to help fuel a large Maga (though Coffers will be counterproductive with Pox/Death Cloud) and Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth to help prevent coloring issues in the early game with Wastelands and Strips.

Beyond that, I can't really suggest much more without making this deck almost identically like mine. So, that said, take a look at mine to see if there's anything you can steal. The deck list is here: http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=86456. Keep in mind that my build is Casual as I am running 4 copies of Necropotence (which is Restricted). Perhaps we could bounce ideas off of one another!

Nice build!

Thanks for your comment, I will check your suggestions, but everything sounds fine.

We also play more or less casual, but we respect the restricted list so far :)

When I find the time, I will check your decklist!
