Add 4x Blood Crypt Add 4x Temple of Malice add these in replace of your basics

Thanks for the suggestions, CocoCrispy1337. I haven't noticed a big problem with manna generation, but I playtested a few times with those cards to see how they worked. I also tried Dragonskull Summit and Rakdos Guildgate since they are similar, but cost less. The coming into play tapped slows the deck down a little, so I would probably just put two each in place of basic land. Thanks again for the views and comment.

I have to say I like this deck because I love tribal decks, especially featuring something cool like Elementals from my favorite block, Lorwyn-Shadowmoor. Shared Animosity could be a fun addition, though it does cost a few dollars. If your looking for a sideboard addition to combat GY decks, you could go for something like Relic of Progenitus . It seems like it wouldn't clash with your theme. Anyway I'll have to put this deck in my playtest folder. +1

Thanks for the vote PriestessKikyo1, and I like the suggestions a lot. The Relic of Progenitus will definitely be added to the sideboard.

if its gonna be modern four blood crypts and four dragonskull summits due to the fact you can pay two life for the crypts to come into play untapped early game and later you wont even notice them, and once you control either a swamp or a mountain the summits come into play untapped so theres that

Thanks for the comments and +1s! I've tweaked the manabase slightly to get a better balance of red and black, thanks to those who suggested the red/black producing lands.

Have you considered Black Sun's Zenith ?

Thanks Zassalis no I hadn't. It's a great card for the deck, do you have any suggestions for what to take out for it?

If you're willing, I'd say drop one Incandescent Soulstoke . However, I'm not hugley familiar with the deck, so it's really up to you.

You might also want to look at Contagion Engine for mass removal. Also boosts your creatures with Power Conduit .

I say definitely 4x Necroskitter, it's such an amzing card. I feel like some undying/persist like Thunderblust could be a consideration here. Boggart Ram-Gang as well.

I love the concept, never had thought about Everlasting Torment to be used this way!
