Pthance I like the deck. Been trying to run something similar to this.. But when I read your description I fail to see any sign of Erebos's Titan within your main or sideboard.. just curious if you forgot to include it or update? Idk. But great build. Black is SUPER strong in standard. You've got my upvote.

So I have actually been considering putting the Erebos's Titan back in the deck. I pulled it when I added more zombies and vampires to the deck. Right now I'm thinking it could either replace TKS in the sideboard or Sidisi out of the mainboard. That being said until I as it back I have removed the text on the description, feel free to try him out though... It's a bomb of a 4 drop.

Why Grasp of Darkness over Dismember? This is a beautiful build. And to be honest, I'd love to play with this build against any deck! Great work. Thumbs up.

Joker1430, Dismember is not standard legal, though it would be pretty sweet if it was.

have you thought about To the Slaughter? it is a good sacrificing spell on its own, and great if you have dilerium. though i don't know if deilirum would work here, just a thought, nice deck man. +1 from me! i'd appreatite it if you could check out my deck, dicarded fates mono black vampire discard. and see what you think!

also, don't know how much you value scrying but have you condsidered Shadows of the Past? it's second ability is not that useful but the scry is quite good.

i would recommend a few warping wails in sideboard more the mirror match as it has good utility on exiling the trees and as these decks run quite a few sorceries you could counter them. but i love this deck and will defs play this in standard if i get back into it see as it is pretty cheap.

i have been testing and the deck kind of struggles to beat RB vampires, it is quite fast. do you have any way to combat this.

maxmichell, I'm currently making some edits right now. I'm trying to add more instant speed removal into it to reduce these problems. I too am running into issues from the fastest decks in the meta. I'm hoping to get since of this worked out before GameDay after EMN, so suggestions are welcome, I just have to test them out as well.

foul renewal is a good sideboard card for ulamog matchup as you can return a tree and give it minus 13/13. by the way kalitas is great as you need life gain against a rush deck. from under the floorboards could be a consideration as you gain life and get board presence to protect yourself. another card is alms of the vein

i feel as well that mono black is a budget version of this deck, but black white control is great right now and would be easy to shove the tree tris combo in. maybe have a look at the possibilities there.

i also feel that soul seperator is a bit janky in this kind of deck that requires efficiency. what happened to the cards in the deck like liliana and though knot seer

Yeah, I've been seriously considering Alms, but I need a string discard outlet for it to be worth the slot. Right now I have Sinister Concoction to help fuel delirium, but i think too much self discard might cause issues the deck isn't prepared to handle. I did add in a one of Soul Separator, this way I could freely discard the tree and not feel bad later on as it provides another silly but powerful combo.

To be clear though, I'm fairly confident Soul Separator is better than most people have given it credit for. In the right shell i think it will be good. This deck is a little janky at the moment, but it's glue is Dark Petition, it allows for you to put together the right combo pieces based on what you have pitched or lost for delirium.
