I've been stuck in texas and only watching as the new sets came out but i've come up with a deck idea that might be good for the new season and i'm needing some help to streamline the decklist and help with ideas i'm not sure of...

First let me tell you it's and evoke-based decklist with the idea of oversold cemetary as the recur factor and the rough draft i came up with has so far proven really good, it's UBrw so far here's the decklist

4x Oversold Cemetary
4x Mulldrifter(repeatable card draw, and oversold enabler)
4x Avalance riders(awesome once combo is going)
3x damnation(mass removal)
4x stinggourger(trying it out as a man-o-war type of effect and echo cost with makes oversold use it again)
4x tidehollow sculler(discard on a body)
4x Shriekmaw(removal and good sized creature and oversold enabler)
2x Gift Ungiven(oversold enabler and tutor)
2x Court Hussar(more draw and possible enabler)
2x venser, shaper savant(once cemetary gets going this guy is a good counter)
2x Undead Gladiator(cycles for card draw and let's me discard for oversold, and is reusable)

4x polluted delta
2x bloodstained mire

and still need to work on land base so far it's been pretty good

some thought's

trinket mage- a must with his tutor effects'
vendillion clique- wanting some discard effects and this one is instant
shrieking grotesque- discard and oversold enabler
aven mindcenser- controllish card for tutor decks

can't think of any but looking for alternate shriekmaw type abilities that kill black creatures so when i go against doran and confidant or just removal creatures .
also looking at trinket mage for tormod's, pithing needle, chalice of the void, and engineered explosives

ps. I've been trying with the tidehollows with demigod of revenge but i'm leaning more to tidehollows for early hand disruption and also i've been thinking cause of elfball and stuff like that infest or echoing decay type card somewhere within it, just haven't thought of which and what kinds

too slow but possibly fun to try. the OS is so incredibly weak a centerpoint, IF you draw it, you will still need some way to defend it beyond tidehollow sculler.

Reveillark you have infinite reveillarks and creatures is good:D
court hussar its not good, u have drifter for draw, and i think u lose vs zoo , play aven or finks Smile

for your deck aven is good
more counter, cryptic command, remand spell snare , , glen elendra archmage
good luck:)

i'd play cemetary with g using witness, tribe elder ravenous baloth and such.
kokusho + miren is really slow, but a nice lategame twist.
solemn simulacrum perhaps? darkblast?
ala has flesh maurauder and corpse connoisseur
Necrotic sliver is an alternative to shriekmav - and a lot slower.

Too slow of a deck for the current meta-game

its too aggro

there for i would suggest adding some cards to help

+Kitchen Finks
+Baloth

which means you should add green so you dont die to zoo so easily. Smile

(this also gives you ancient grudge, firespout, choke, and others for SB options.)(or birds of paradise for MD)

the tidehollow isnt really discard as they get the card back directly to hand once it dies..

refer to the Oversold Oriss deck..
its on one of the recent top 4 decklists

anyway, finks and riftwatcher is impt for the aggro matchups.

nice deck idea.
