Here is a deck list that i have been using to much success.
4-phrexian totem
4-cruel edict
4-smallpox
4-nihilith
4-augur of skulls
4-ravenous rats
4-plague sliver
4-the rack
4-cry of contrition
3-stupor
2-desert
3-spawning pool
16-swamp.

This deck will empty opponents hands most games by turn 4 0r five. Its really only needs three mana to really get going. Plague sliver is in there because when i tested Korlash he wasn't ever above a 4/4. and plague sliver always comes down as a 5/5. Test it out see what you think you wont be disappointed.

I'd cut 1 plague sliver because you never want to have 2 in a game (hurts too much). Try adding tombstalker.

-4 nihilith
-1 plague sliver
-4 phyrexian totem
-4 cruel edict

+4 bob
+1 stupor
+3 mind stone
+4 slaughter pact

You could add tombstalkers too. These are the cards I would add if you don't want to take them out altogether such as the totems and edicts and nihiliths. Honestly I think you are better with b/g tarmorack.

I played this exact deck tonight at a type2 tourney only lost one match to a siesmic/loam deck that had god draws and went for the kill turn 4. I destroyed anything with goyf. Monored burn is a joke against this build. And blue/black control doesn't have a chance. they're hand was empty as early as turn three. Oh, and Green/Red aggro hilarious. my record was 4-1.
