Orzhov Charm perhaps? It does costs you life=the toughness of the creature (falkenreath is 1 not 4) though. not a big fan of the whole renounce the guilds, since it's role is taking out black creatures, and most black creature playing decks have multiple multicolored cards (both aristocrats and jund)
On the topic of Warped VS blade, i find that the only advantage warped has, is that it's able to target black creatures. So which good black creature are there? Well there's Obzedat, blood baron (but it has pro black in the first place), sin collector, blood artist, Varolz (gets around regen to), nighthawk, Olivia, cartel aristocrat (yeah right), Falkenrath Aristocrat (take that!), skirsdag priest and deathrite. That's not a whole lot actually.
stonewright seems pretty strong, using your spare mana. what do you think i should put in the flex spot. also, against an unknown meta, what cards should i play in the side.
we do have like 4 boros reconers, 1 domri, 1 of each dual, and most uncommons/commons.
we also have a 3 jtms, a batterskull and the likes we can trade away.
Me and my friend are gonna start playing standard soon, again. Already making a gruul aggro deck for the two of us to play, but i'm in need of another or 2 deck to switch between. The deck should either be cheap, or have a fair amount of the exepensive cards stick after rotation, and be a bit different from the gruul aggro deck.
sorry i haven't answered you question Altaurus but i've been trying to finf good examples, so unless you or someone else could give me some kind of scale, this is the best i can do
i'm thinking somewhere between good commons and good uncommons (mana leak, vampire nighthawk, lightning heliz etc.)
wild nacatl anyone? also if goblin guide isn't to expensive it might be worth it(nonbo with winter orb though)? dryad arbor (with zenith) should only be a 1 of since it slows you down.
so here are the versions of this deck i can think of:
the usual
all big guys (more than thy pay for)
pump n evasion.dec
elves
sac land guys and worm
the non crature morph spells would also be good (zoetic caver(auto 4),whetwheel(can tutors/be alternative wincon)and lumithread field(tutor). theyre slower but it means you can play more copies of the morph.
i have like 2 cards ready. one of them i admit is not my design, but by apoquyallyp, although it might need a few changes to make it powerfull enough. the other introduces a new creature type (not sure if that's a good idea). i don't know how to add the full cards, but here are the text version
cloud spranie 2U
creature-spranie
flying
when cloud spranie enters the battlefield, you may look at target opponents hand
2/1
the name and type can be changed
ranger of autumn isle :1mana::symwg:
creature elf scout
level up :1mana::symwg: 2/2
lv 1-3 vigilance 3/3
lv 4+ vigilance 5/5
this one isn't of my design. it might need some tweaks
4 sphinx's revelation
3 azorius charm
3 think twice
2 syncopate
2 doom blade
2 dissipate
2 far away
2 jace, architect of thought
1 warped physique
1 detention sphere
1 forbidden alchemy
1 sorin, lord of innistrad
1 tamiyo, the moon sage
1 merciless eviction
1 terminus
26 lands (3 drownyards)
