Great destruction! I have been using the phyrexian obliterator in my new deck to against my friends and they are hating it probably just as much as yours too.
Heres mine

If I were to make any changes id get around 18 swamps as 21 in mono black seems high to me.
I'd add +3 surgical extraction for the chance to eliminate deck combos if they are less creature oriented as you will already be able to kill most creatures anyways

21 is a little on the high side for my curve, but I wanted to be sure of being able to drop Obliterator turn 4-5, so I erred a little high. I might bring it down after some testing.

Surgical extraction was on my original sb list, but I expect the only real combo deck in modern to be Hypergenesis, so I opted to have duress instead. Again, its a brand new format so things may change, but I think Duress is likely to be solid tech vs Hypergenesis.

I also expect modern to be a more creature-dominated meta. I don't think I would take out more than 4-6 anti-creature spells, as there are just so many great creatures for everyone.

No Bloodghast, yet I still like it. Super heavy on creature removal, handles aggro, ramp, stompy, and plenty of other shnoz. One question though, why Cruel Edict and not Geth's Verdict? It's instant speed, and causes life loss ;D

Does anybody play modern on Magic League? If not, would you be interested in starting something up? I'm sure WnB would be in.
