Updated Lost most of my removal with the Ixalan rotation. Adding in red now to get some back. Any suggestions would be great!

OLD I built this deck for 3 reasons: 1) I am new and it seemed like I should try my hands at a deck that I made; 2) I love control and black (may consider going BU control after September); and 3) I saw the Gifted Aetherborn and thought it was an awesome card for only 2 mana (if mono-black).

I have many removal cards, and mostly Aetherborn creatures. The only reason I have Night Market Lookout is because there were no 1 CMC aetherborn creatures (and it isn't a bad card). I dropped 1 Vengeful Rebel card from mb because I wanted another land (for the dunes and deadlands combo advice). The Rebel can be used as creature and another removal, and receives pumps from Metallic Mimic and/or Midnight Entourage

Torment of Scarabs seemed like a fun card that could also serve as a control or damage enchantment. I wanted a Cruel Reality but it's cmc was too high and could never get it out.

I like the Supernatural Stamina as it is a good protection card for removal, and it is a fun card to mix with the Gonti, Lord of Luxury for a double effect.

Yahenni's Expertise is a great board clear, and it is effectively only a 1 mana drop if I have a cmc 3 card in hand.

Aetherborn with removal. Any advice is greatly appreciated.
