I am far from a good deck builder, but would this card be good in this deck?
You could easily include a single copy if you liked. In general though, it probably won't be the best in this deck. The deck will certainly get enough mana to cast it, but by the time it's hit 7 mana you probably have enough gas to control the board anyway. And while it's great with Innocent Blood and Barter in Blood - it's not nearly as good with the truly mass removal. Also, if you have no creatures all your mass-death is better - since it doesn't affect you. Of course, this makes it a lot more fun to cast it in the first place - because you can get those creatures on your side in the first place.
In short, it'll definitely be fun - but it probably won't up the deck's power. You could easily throw in a single copy if you like - but doing so cuts down on the decks other tools. You'd have to cut one of the high end spells like corrupt or exsanguinate - which is painful. But it will replace one powerhouse effect with another - and that can be a lot of fun.
So, very fun suggestion. I'd like to see it tried out.
Thanks a lot for taking the time to answer my question. I have tried the deck several times yesterday (without Betrayal) and it was a lot of fun to play. However, I find it hard to finish my opponents (even more if he have 1-2 creatures with lifelink).
I am not a very good player, so maybe its just me. However, in my 3-4 games, I controlled the board very much, but didnt have the chance to kill my opponent. Maybe a suggestion or two would be appreciate.
I have found another suggestion. I think that Liability would work great. Am I wrong?
If your opponents are somehow out-powering all your corrupts and exsanguinates they must be gaining huge amounts of life. If that's the case, you might definitely want to try out your Grave Betrayal idea - as it will give you repeatable sources of damage. Most playgroups won't need the enchantment, but if you can't finish off your opponents - then Grave Betrayal might help you a lot.

Yes. Give into your hatred. Strike me down with your jedi weapon.
