Been building this deck for a while now and was looking for some advice or tips on it. I was having trouble at the start when building this
deck to get it working smoothly and have reconfigured it quite a few times. I feel that this deck is hard to get right and has taken me a while to get it to
this point trying to get the balance between sac outlets, sac fodder & payoff.
The idea is to create as many tokens, zombie tokens ideally to keep some flavour, and then sacrifice them all for life drain effects and payoff.
The deck is a little slow and a bit grindy which may just be the nature of this style of deck.
I have chosen Syr, Konrad as the commander as I loved the name and artwork of the card, even though there may be better commanders for aristocrats I wanted to make this work, He acts as a payoff for the sac outlets.
I've also included some cards that I'd like to keep in such as Tombstone Stairwell, Haakon Stromgald Scourge & Chainer, Dementia Master.
If anyone could have a look at it and has any advice that would be really helpful.
Yeah, i cant see anything wrong with the deck.
Seems a pretty strong deck, power level 7.
you seem to build your deck the same way as i do, no tutors, no infinites, no goodstuff, no "i win unless someone counterspell" cards.
Looks like a fun deck to play and to play agianst.
1 thing i usually do is try to put as many creatures as possible in a creature deck.
So you could try finding creature that can replace a few non creature cards, here are a few examples below:
Also, if your running Mikaeus, the Unhallowed, you could also run cauldron of souls. Makes it really hard to boardwipe you, and its not an infinite because you can tap cauldron of souls only once.
And since you run alot of creatures, Skullclamp gets alot better.
Hey thanks for that appreciate all of those suggestions. Since I posted this I managed to get the deck to a place where it seems to work better now. It was such a fine balancing act and a fun challenge. Makes me want to create more mono black decks.
Been trying to find a spot for cauldron of souls for ages! I will play with the deck more that may help me decide.
Skull clamp is ridiculous in how good it is, I actually had that in originally but took it out because it felt too easy.
Dauthi Voidwalker looks amazing though, i hadn't seen that card. Just trying to keep the cost down atm so might add in later.
Appreciate all the suggestions thanks.

So you could try finding creature that can replace a few non creature cards, here are a few examples below:
Viscera Seer another sac outlet
Yahenni, Undying Partisan see above
Woe Strider sac outlet + token generator
Disciple of Bolas refills hand and heals a bit.
Dauthi Voidwalker Good card, but expensive.
Vito, Thorn of the Dusk Rose
Grim Haruspex More draw is always better
Morbid Opportunist same as above
Fleshbag Marauder You run plaguecrafter, might aswell run this aswell.
Chain Devil Same as above, just + 1 cmc and can only sac nontoken.
Mirkwood Bats 1 damage whenever you create or sac a token.
Nadier's Nightblade sac payoff
Butcher of Malakir 7 cmc, not sure if you want this but strong cards.
Shriekmaw 2 cmc to destroy a creature + sacs itself
Pawn of Ulamog amazing token generator.
Grave Titan amazing card, bit expensive tho
Phyrexian delver recursion in creature form
Prismaris Eliminator Both etb options are good.
Shadowborn Demon Etb destroy target creature, interaction is always good.
Necron deathmark Same as above but with flash, and can mill yourself
Meteor Golem destroy non land permanent.
Massacre Girl Boardwipe incase you need it.
A few instants i would maybe run so your etb+death triggers get better:Malakir Rebirth Supernatural stamina These also dont interfere with Mikaeus, the Unhallowed
