MBC - The old fashion way (Modern MTG Deck)

Since I started out on MTG my fav has always been MBC, back in the day, I saw the card Phage the Untouchable and immediately fell in love.
The road to MBC from there was short :)

While this deck doesn't have my dear Phage, It's in the spirit of a true MBC.

Card reasons:

Lands:

21x Swamp - MBC afterall...
2x Boseiju, Who Shelters All - Since we rely heavily on instants / sorceries we do NOT want them countered, and considering we have several ways to gain life, we can overcome the life cost.
2x Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx - We have quite a few BB mana cost permanents in game, this comes in very handy.
1x Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth - Everything is a swamp for our spells / abilities later on.

Enchantment:

4x Curse of Death's Hold - what can i say.. this enchantment is a power house in this deck. With BB for devotion, and simply obliterating enemy tokens or aggro x/1 creatures, and even taking the edge off bigger creatures, this card has single-handed won me a LOT of matches. I've had a LOT of people scoop as soon as i put it out on the field, let alone 2 or 3 of them.
3x Phyrexian Arena - Again BB for devotion and simply the best Black draw card there is.

Artifacts:

4x Lashwrithe - This is a win condition all on it's own, the best part is its NOT legendary, so even if the "living weapon"'s germ creature gets killed, i can play another and then equip that one with 2 Lashwrithe's. Can also be used on Solemn Simulacrum as win con.

Planeswalkers:

3x Liliana of the Dark Realms - Mana fetch, spot removal, the Emblem (ultimate) is CRAZY in this deck, best PW for this deck hands down.
1x Liliana Vess - Been racking my brains over whether i should run more copies of her in here, all her abilities work very well here, especially the card search one. Her cost is what sets me a bit back over other cards in this deck.
3x Sorin Markov - A heck of a win con all by himself, can also get rid of a LOT of annoying x/2 creatures. His -3 ability decimates any life-gain decks.

Sorceries:

4x Consume Spirit - One of our win cons, combined with Liliana of the dark realm's mana emblem this hits for a TON of damage.
4x Corrupt - Slightly less potent than Consume Spirit in here but a win con nonetheless.

Instant:

4x Hero's Downfall - Hands down best removal I can think of, mainly to get rid of opponents planeswalkers.

Creatures

4x Solemn Simulacrum - Freaking awesome card. Play it to get mana, is one of our win cons and when it dies you draw a card. no downsides to this one at all.

Sideboard (Under Construction):

4x Black Sun's Zenith - Just in-case we are playing against heavy enchantment removal, we can switch Curse of Death's Hold for these babies.
3x Crypt Incursion - Honestly a placeholder.
2x Damping Matrix - Some Tron hate.
2x Extirpate - If we're dealing with GY strategies, should be replaced with Surgical Extraction but i don't have em :(
1x Liliana Vess - In case we need another one in game.
3x Liliana's Shade - Possible win con, placeholder for now.

So thats the deck for now,
As usual, thoughts, comments and suggestions more than welcome!

Cheers,
