Decks relying on enchantments to mete out damage will have to think about Back to Nature . This card is a major PITA for a lot of decks, but I think it will be in many sideboards at the very least...

Very true Gop. I'm running a mono-green deck too right now and Unravel the Aether
is incredible.
However, I have adjusted this deck and it is not dependent on the enchantments, it just really likes them when they are there. I have also mainboarded Duress
and Stain the Mind
, and so I feel very confident in being able to identify a potential threat and remove it before it manifests.

If splashing red Sire Of Insanity is fun with Waste Not

If I were to splash in red I would absolutely put in a Sire and a couple Rakdos's Return
.
I'm going to keep this particular build mono-black, but may make a copy to play with a red splash, and another to play blue (Whispering Madness
anyone?).

Shrieking Affliction is still a thing. I tried to build around it a while back and then realized discard just wasn't good enough.

No Thoughtseize ? I feel like I'm missing something... :P

Shit...
Sorry, didn't see it in the main board. I feel REALLY stupid right now.

Master of the Feast really shouldn't be here. It does fuel your opponents hand, indirectly fueling Waste Not , but it's much better to have your opponent handless than with you having a few extra 2/2's.
I'd also consider Shrieking Affliction to materialize on your opponent top decking.

A couple cards I'm considering for my deck...
Tormented Thoughts - sac Master of the Feast after combat on T4. Your opponent will either have to drop their entire hand or will only have one or two cards left at which point you Thoughtseize . Huge bump if you have Waste Not on the board
Slate Street Ruffian - block or not, either choice is bad for them

Maringam, this will be standard legal as of Friday. There are M15 cards here that have not yet been released.

The problem that you will face mainly is having weak creatures. Once a creature is down, there is now way that you can remove it. You need to splash red or possibly have Damnation in there. You need creatures to hold the fort. You only need 4 hand removals to disrupt their strategy at the beginning of the game.
Most damage will happen with cards like Shrieking Affliction . have a look at a deck i have made Handsfree . It kicks pods a#$. I still have to refine it. I have tested it against top decks like kiki decks and strong agros. hope it helps.

i would look into Nighthowler or Wight of Precinct Six because you put enough cards in the graveyards with thoughtseize lilliana Mind Rot Hero's Downfall and Devour Flesh

So I am thinking of swapping out the 2 Hall of Triumph
, and also I am on the fence about Master of the Feast
. I think a couple more removal spells and either Shrieking Affliction
or someone like Desecration Demon
or Nighthowler
.
What do you think - should I keep the Hall of Triumph ?

Best deck name ever! +1 for that.
I feel since we still have shock lands, you can easily splash for Rakdos's Return . I would run 3 of those and take out Drainpipe Vermin . Its not the best creature and the fact that you have to leave up a black mana incase it dies just isn't worth it.
