...although there's not much suiciding going on when you don't play beaters like Sangrophage or have access to Hatred.

Got tired of my bog standard mono B control deck but I still want a black pauper deck. I took inspiration from oldschool Suicide Black decks, and most of what made those decks work (discard effects + land destruction + an aggressively costed creature) is available except pauper lacks the ridiculous card advantage of cards like Necropotence or Yawgs Will. Instead I want to refill my hand with Village Rites and Deadly Dispute + Shambling Ghast and Unwilling Ingredient.

Big mana via Dark Ritual and Bubbling Muck is poured into Howl or Drain Life to finish the opponent. I'll adjust as I test the deck.

Some neat stuff in Baldurs Gate. Zhentarim Bandit seems a bit overlooked imo, it plays really well with Ritual and Duress. Maybe I'm overvaluing it but I see it as bringing more to the table than Ingredient. Gray Slaad would probably feel more at home in a self-mill/reanimator brew but I want to give it a try as curve topper since it pays dividends for the Rites/Dispute draw package.
