Standard Deck Help forum

Hi guys
[TL;DR]
I'm looking for cards within black that sacrifices permanents including non-creature, non-land permanents. Other color suggestions would be nice as well. Bouncing permanents is a last resort option for me if the cards available in standard doesn't cater any


[The entire story]
I'm building a deck around Torment of Hailfire. My planned gameplay is boardwipe. Currently I have a set of Torment of Hailfire and Bontu's Last Reckoning I have a decent card pool of black discards as well, but I'm looking for some boardwipes as well. Possibly more of sacrificing permanents just to make sure I can cover non-creature permanents as well.
If another color is an option, please let me know. I am aware of the existence of Hour of devastation, but looking for more of err... I guess I'm already repeating my self. Sacrifice permanents thing.

Vona's Hunger, Doomfall, Trial of Ambition, Torment of Scarabs, Torment of Venom, and The Eldest Reborn is all I can think of off the top of my head.

Hey, with Hailfire it's helpful to have ways to make a lot of black mana. Being able to pump a large amount of black mana into a Hailfire can win games on the spot. Consider adding Azor's Gateway  ^Flip and Cabal Stronghold? Gateway flips into Sanctum of the Sun which is a land that can make a lot of black mana. Cabal Stronghold is another very good land for mono black with Hailfire.

multimedia Since I was at work I forgot to include the alternate win con that I was thinking of in doing this. Totally my fault sorry. I was actually thinking of running Torment of Hailfire together with Deadeye Plunderers I was hoping to ramp the mana from anything that will allow me to get more treasure tokens and making Deadeye Plunderer the face of the deck to make way for an even darker plan of hailfire in case of removal.

Aside from that, I'm mainly looking for the removals or other cards that would make my vision come through. Ever since these 2 cards appeared in the standard card pool I've been keeping my eye on them, in hopes that someone will make them. But rotation is closing in and not a single competitive standard deck came to arise with these 2.
