I am certain that was not meant as a compliment, but I take it as one. To answer the question, even as it likely did not want an answer; I try. You need not take it as an insult, in fact many people would not even recognize it in there.

I suppose people are too used to other sugarcoating advice in words that I deem pointless and the use of which I deem inefficient. Rudeness is rarely my intent but I often come across as blunt and crude.

From the cards included it was obvious that this was never an attempt at 8rack nor was it intended to be the best possible mixture of midrange and discard in black. Yet another obvious fact is the fact of the Miser cards being really, really bad and ineffective AND counterproductive in a discard deck, especially when you consider that even control decks usually hover around 4 or 5 cards in hand, you reach the conclusion of the cards really lacking any attractive quality.

Furthermore, I act not to make every deck competitive in its respective format. Rather, I simply point out imperfections, mistakes, objectively stupid decisions. I do not enforce my will upon you, I merely speak logic. Either the deck improves, or the creator simply wants it the way it is despite its now glaring flaws, or I am proven wrong. Either way a victory for me.

Traumatize is a peculiar card. Only good in a mill deck, yet only good as the first mill spell you cast in a game. You know what that means? That it's never good.

Thing is, reducing a hand size and making someone discard is REALLY counterproductive. What's the point of half your deck making his maximum hand size 4 when he plays 1 card a turn and you make him discard at least as much on every one of your turns. The math says, as everything always does, that Kamigawa, save for a few cards, sucks ass.

Other thing being that anything remotely aggressive will trample over this as if it were a marshmallow. Hand size reduction is very, very rarely good.

I am pretty sure that the deck description + the how to play + my first most comment go into enough detail. But it is a midrange deck, so you play it as such, the spin that this one has is monarchy and pestilence. Which make turn 4, and the setup it requires vital to success. Oftentimes you'll find that a turn 4 Sentinels or Pestilence can lead to a game loss due to your being too far behind. Likewise, not being bold enough to risk and slam those 4 drops can cost you the game.

Kinda, sorta present, only once or twice or day after I get back home when I am here.
And of course you can, with or without credit, even I just took 3 ideas and made 1 of my own out of the mix.

Depending on what you are up against. If you are playing a deck that is faster than you, that you know you can go over the top of, then you play not to lose, until you turn the corner and stomp over them due to your deck producing more value. You'd do this to Elves, Stompy, Delver, Mono White, Boros Monarch. In a lot of these matchups you can easily win by just using Pestilence.

The other side of the coin are decks that will go over you and produce more value than you can. In these games you either leverage the monarchy and actually beat them on value, or you try and play it fast, dealing enough damage in the early game to have a Pestilence finish them off in two fell swoops.

I would never have checked out a Shu Yun EDH deck if not for the name xD You got a like just for that.
That said, I think some really decent cards like Young Pyromancer or Etheral Armor are missing, the latter would need a bit more support, but you got the right colors for that

Hands down the best non-Bloodbriar list I have seen. Acknowledges the power of Rancor, the necessity of Tragic Slip, superiority of Bequeathal to any other form of card draw, whilst playing all the necessary support and payoff cards.
Beautiful.

Instead of spellbook I have to argue for Reliquary Tower. Plus congrats on making a deck not legal in any format,

This needs Sphere of Safety I think

While I love the odd inclusions of Rabblemaster or GDD, or Kalitas that Jund offers. I think that maindeck Liliana, the Last Hope and Chandra, Torch of Defiance are too often better.
But this is a metagame thing I suppose. Rabble spits in the face of planeswalkers in many metagames.

I can completely agree on everything except two things:
1. 3 Ob Nix seems heavy to me in a deck with no mana ramp, it feels too slow for modern, but I would go for it and see how it goes, the reason being that any draw spell that is not an instant or a creature is really slow in modern xD

2. The curse is always either amazing and close to game winning, especially if you can get it on turn 4, or it is the worst card in your deck. And seeing as how your deck already deals with creatures in a beautiful manner, I tend to believe that it would be on the useless side more often than not.

A helpless one xD

Inquisition too ezpensive?
Rune snage instead of leak?

Niiiiiice. I am currently working towards a more budget friendly EDH deck starring this beast. You got it all right I think. Combo, control, ramp, broken old enchantments

Dark Confidant: Fair
Vampire: Fair, I can see that combo being better than flying and deathtouch
lashwrithe: Glad to help
Liliana: Despise? Well, it's not really an argument now is it? I hate planeswalkers as such - all of them, yet I still run them. Emotion plays no part here.
Korlash: Glad to help
Kalitas: Good
Gatekeeper: I think you could afford to cut something for it - make your removal even more diverse, you already have kills for all situations except hexproof and indestructible, Gatekeeper solves both. I guess Zenith does a bit against those, but it requires a lot of mana.
dismember: Fair
phyrexian arena: And you current draw spells were?
Wrench Mind: fair
Fatal push: It's more of a meta thing, a glean from mtggoldfish would indicate that even without revolt it would be good. But your meta might not be that of mtg online. And in all likelihood is not.

Quite to contrary! I tend to be cynical, and vitriol is often present, but not here. Here I think you did a great job.

The problem with that is that this is a Shoal deck afterall, and as such it wants Shoal and it wants Imprisoned in the Moon too

I find testing people's reactions to sarcasm more fun than being boring and polite, especially over the net.
That said, I'm not sure how it'd do in legacy nowadays, but safe tothe saya that Search looks promising and Gearhulk seems justifiable.
