{{Ultimate price}} over doom blade everytime
Actually not. Maybe as a sideboard slot, but right after a Ravnica block, ultimate price is not where you want to be.

Maybe SB {lifebane zombie} for the GW matchup, and main board {omenspeaker}? It'll let you dig for what you need and provide chump blockage if needed!

{Agent of the Fates} and {Triad of the Fates} could help.

{Agent of fates} is a lovely card but I would waste deck space to enable its heroic ability!

Is there a way to make this deck more competitive!

I will post mine later today hopefully as it has been pretty effective.

Perhaps another Elspeth for more win con? Or {Blood Baron of Vizkopa}?

Desecration demon is always an option. I dig that you're leaning toward control though.

 {Desecration Demon} is in my mono black control deck! So I know how sick he can be! I put him in sideboard

{alms beast} can be very effective, it works extremely well with a whip on the battlefield, as you will almost always out gain your opponent. Additionally, with any devour flesh, if you're desperate a declare block into a devour flesh yourself and sac the beast (obviously only if there's no whip out).

Done a bit of testing and updated the list

I question the doom blades myself, simply cause of all the black being played right now. Perhaps devour flesh to make it more versatile? Also, I agree with the white mana post. Does the mutavault really need to be there? Otherwise, I love this base. I'm going to run it a few times online, citing you as the source! :-)

Dummy me! I see the devour flesh mb now.

The {Mutavault} is great for beat down and the extra blocker!
