There is no reason for you to run any Plains in this deck. If you run all Swamps, you could consider Tendrils of Agony as a removal option...it's not great but it could be useful at least against aggro decks.

hmmm, dont really need tendrills for more removal, unmake and nameless seem to be enough

didnt notice the swamps only thing though, my first version had that if BW was spent to play it and a few white cards

Tendrils of Corruption, right, thanks for the correction. I like the tempo you have for your creatures in this deck

after a bit of playtesting this seems pretty smoothed out, profane command could be dropped for something else perhaps....and all the plains are out...corrupt maybe?

I would definitely play 4 Lieges in there; it seems like one of the main reasons to play all those twin-coloured cards. Otherwise you could as well play Withered Wretch, Dauthi Slayer and friends. The other main reason is the +3/+3 for B you get with Edge of Divinity.

I am not sold on 4 Profane Commands. You have no cip effect on any of your creatures. I would rather have Thoughtseize in that slot. You could always take out the Voracious Hatchlings as well, at 4 mana you got Korlash, Ashling and lots of other way way better creatures to choose from in black.

I wouldn't necessarily go the mono-black route, though. The fact is that plains don't hurt you. (I would play 4 hybrid, 4-5 plains) and get access to Oblivion Ring and Disenchant, among other cards.

-2 Profane Command
-3 Voracious Hatchling
+1 Deathbringer Liege
+4 Thoughtseize

-5 Plains
+1 Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth
+4 Fetid Heath

Not enough creatures!

Loxodon warhammer seems to be a nice fit, double life link is amazing.

-1 deathbringer liege (two in play is redundant Smile

-1 divinity of pride
-4 nameless inversion (unmake is enough, plus liege)

+2 loxodon warhammer (makes nip a house)
+4 korlash (all swamp?)

This deck usually plays pretty fast and ends games by turn 5-6, i dont think warhammer is all that neccesary and i definately dont like korlash in this deck(love the card in general, just doesnt really fit with this deck)
