This is pretty much off the top of my head. Seemed like Wizards were pushing Mono Black zombies with the new aditions of Geralf's Messenger and Highbourn Ghoul. Maybe there's a sweet UB Zombie deck in the future, but I wanted to focus on the power of Lashwrithe, and since there's a natural vacancy of 2-drops in the zombie deck, why not distress in a mono black deck?
Anyways, I'm open for suggestions and what are your thoughts on this rough draft?
Looks solid. I'd run geth's verdict over smallpox and maybe some despise instead of the distress. Even if the deck is lacking in 2 drops, You can still go 1 drop, 1 drop plus despise, which is agressive as hell.
This card will be the worst rare in RTR and less remembered than skaab ruibator in three months. It struggles to be on the same power level as mass of ghouls, even in limited.
That its not simply "not good enough for competitive", or underpowered. But that this is offensively bad, the real stinker tier.
Still, my best evaluation is that its approximately on the same power level as a 4/4 for 4 vanilla beater.
Monoblack loses to planeswalkers. All the time. So despises are recommended. Smallpox is bad. You have 0 ways to abuse it and it will wind up screwing you more than the opponent. What is your goal in going monoblack however? It is only for lashwrithe. Why dont you splash to add consistency and a better late and mid game?

Smallpox with gravecrawler. Discard or sac him. Smallpox with Messenger, comes back bigger.
A thought to expand on UB is that there's a heavy life loss theme. Add Vapor Snag for a little tempo and suddenly opp is really starting to feel those pings coming from every which direction. Black Sun's Zenith is another excellent option in this meta, as you benefit with recursion and opp losing life, opp loses all their tokens or whatever.
