I do have Pulse in there. Also, I know that Nath would be a better general for me, however I don't like him so I am not going to run him as my general.
I recently made a deck with Savra, Queen of the Golgari as my general that abuses sac effects to clear everyone else's creatures off the board. One of the cool combos in the deck is Shambling Shell and Savra. Every turn, you can play the Shell, sac it to put a counter on Savra and make your opponents sac a creature, and beat with Savra. She's defnitely a great general if your deck has a sacrificing theme, but if not, I would go with Nath of the Gilt-Leaf as your general.

I do realize that Nath would be the better General for the deck, but he is taken in my Meta and I don't really care for him either.
I am a Vorthos, so when I think B/G I think Golgari. With this said who better to be the general of my Golgari deck then the Queen of the Golgari herself, even though I know what happened in the books.
The CipT cycling lands and the Masques depletion lands are probably not worth running, I've tried them, and whenever I drop them, I find I'd rather just have basics. Might want to cut the Elf dual too, I see a total of one elf on that list.
I run my Xira Arien deck in a similar style, and the red adds a lot to the deck.

I am just using Savra for the colors, but I will keep those cards in mind. The Beacon is something that I am looking to try out when I can get a hold of one.
Thinking back on the games I have played you are right about the cycling and Masques lands. The elf dual gives me either color so it will stay for the moment.
I don't normally keep more then 2 maybe 3 creatures out at even given time, so cradle doesn't look to hot for this deck to me. The other I will be hunting for now. However, I think that you forgot one and I'll be hunting for it too. I do run Scrying and Rotation, which is normally enough to get me the land I need.
I know Regrowth is strictly better and I plan on getting one of those too, but I want it to be black border so I'll have to order the promo.
Thank you for the input. I think I'll be editing those lands out soon.
I run my savra deck with lots of dredging, and creatures with deathtouch so people won't want to touch me, and then drop worm harvest, getting bunches of tokens and sacrificing them to sweep everybody. I beat the other 3 people in a multiplayer that way, and it was epic.
You could consider Vhati il-Dal as your general I think that he's pretty vorthos, and makes for a great political general. Maybe even the stone sisters. Possibly find room for a Gleancrawler I honestly think that anyone running G/B should run this creature.

Also, you're missing some very crucial lands. If you can, I'd put those in along with the means to fetch them
Regrowth is strictly better than Revive.
I run my Xira Arien deck in a similar style, and the red adds a lot to the deck.
