Ok, So this is my first modern-deck so it probably has a lot of room for improvement. Its a budget deck btw so Im not gonna be buying any Griselbrands but I welcome any suggestion very much!

The idea is to first play the Gatekeeper, Dross Golem, Nantuko Shade and Nighthawk at an early stage. Gatekeeper should get rid of any early aggro. I also wanna put out my artifact-equipments whenever I can that gives me shroud, unblockability and hast. I then ramp up black mana with Liliana of the Realms, Crypt Ghast and Liliana's Shade and hopefully I can pump the shades for ridiculous amounts of mana and attack with the equipment attached.

If that fails and I am loosing, Tendrils of Corruption could give me a nice boost (Or should I use Consume spirit instead, it maybe goes better with the crypt ghast?)

So, tell me what you think.
