Greetings all! I'm fairly new to Magic (never played a physical game, only digital via Duels 2013/2014) still, only been following for 2 months or so. My original plan was to build a Modern, 60 card Korlash mono-black Control deck. However, from playtesting on Cockatrice, it just seemed entirely too slow. On top of that, it didn't really fulfill what I really wanted to do: bash faces in with a heavy armored, badass undead warrior.
Enter EDH. I have a few friends who play Magic and I'm pretty sure only EDH, so I probably should have been looking at making an EDH deck in the first place. I know one has a pretty tuned (and expensive) Progenitus ramp deck so that's at least one deck I'd be facing.
Currently my main problem is that I'm not sure how to strike a good balance between all my card types with a 100 card format as opposed to 60. I'm currently 11 cards over the limit, and having a rough time at trimming it down to legal.
Like I mentioned, my main concern is trimming it down to the 100 cards. I'm thinking some creature removal can probably be cut. Also, might need more card draw with only 5 draw cards in the whole deck. Any help would be greatly appreciated, haven't had much luck getting advice elsewhere.
I've updated the deck list in the OP. Was able to cut it down to 100 cards and it's more focused, hooray! Not sold on the suite of creatures, would like some input on them. Because 1v1 games are quicker I wanted to have some recurring/decent low CMC creature drops.
