Hi, this deck is meant for kitchen table play, my playgroup is very competitive and uses the vintage ban list, except for power. I was wondering if you guys could please critique this deck I was planning on building it very soon.
As to your deck, it's obviously very powerful, but it does seem to have a lot going on - you have Hexmage/Dark Depths, Stoneforge + Equipment, and some random (but powerful) black stuff. What sort of strategy are you aiming for with this deck? It seems like you'd be better off focusing on one direction, but I'm not entirely sure what you want most out of this list.
Lose the Dark Depths combo, if you want to play stoneblade. Lots of deck uses SFM and her package, but what sets stoneblade apart is it uses the equipment as the threat. That said, being said you could drop mom too. You'd want token producers like Lingering Souls and Bitterblossom too, if your budget allows it. Also look at creatures with ETB effects such as Gatekeeper of Malakir and Tidehollow Sculler.
I liked the combo and put it in also because hexmage works well against my friend's u/w superfriend deck. I've been play testing on cockatrice and i'll try out your suggestions. The aim of the deck is just to disrupt my opponents hand and lay down threats that they will have trouble dealing with if they are top decking. Also I gain good card advantage through necropotence which I have multiple ways to get to, and yawgmoth's bargain, and my sword.
Squadron Hawk was a huge part of competitive CawBlade lists when it was in Type 2. Dunno if it's up to scuff with your playgroup's power level or not though.
I used to play Hawk, sculler but quickly realized it is a sub-par. The best choice for a BW stoneblade deck by far is playing bitterblossom + lingering soul. Feel free to check my decklist in the sig. Going with tokens also allows you to play Cabal therapy if desired, which is always nice.
I would personally drop the Mother of runes and rather go with token generation. Mother seems much better in more aggro oriented decks with emphasys on winning via creature damage. All you basically need to do is cripple your opponent with discards, destroy effects, seal the deal with a sword-bearer.

Sword of Fire and Ice is my favorite of the Sword cycle, and it's arguably the strongest one. Sword of Feast and Famine is another winner from that cycle.
