This deck isn't Cruel Control, no matter how cruel it is or how not fun it is to play against. Cruel Control is Modern-legal UBR control that has a finisher of Cruel Ultimatum. Where's your Inquisition of Kozilek and Thoughtseize? Also 8rack is bad in the metagame now since you get wrecked by Treasure Cruise.

Love this deck! Could you help me out and give my Keep Hitting Yourself deck a look and see if you can give me any pointers? I'm still kinda on a budget, but it's not super strict. Just no $10-$20+ cards lol.

Definitely getting a +1 from me!

Thanks for the vote, I posted a few things. Black is so versatile and fun. You get discard, removal, Draw power, graveyard hate, and beefy cheap creatures.

Recently added Fatal Push to the list. Haven't played it bought cards since Theros. I've been excited about paying again with M19 released.

I've been looking for a substitute for Sign in Blood , Extirpate can still be useful game one. That could be a good answer for all the decisions with planeswalkers. Isuck@thisgame

Thanks for the suggestion

I feel like only running 19 lands is pretty greedy, especially w/ smallpox and raven's crime. Yes you have Dakmor, but mainboarding ensnaring bridge makes your curve a bit heavier. I'd recommend cutting at least 1 if not both Pack Rat MB for 2 Urborg, especially with 6 colorless lands, because these decks have a lot of double black casts. Or cutting the ensnaring bridges main board. I myself am still considering putting bridges even in my side board. I also suggest taking out duress for 2 more Inquisitions. Your 4x Thoughtsieze will deal with anything the Inquisistions can't. Feel free to check out my decklist! http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/24-07-18-8-rack/

Do you think Trespasser's Curse would have a place in here?

@icbrgr it could be useful game one. Most likely sideboard at best. I think there's a good use for this in a pauper build.

Nice deck!
