Notes:
I'm currently on a $100 budget, so I can't use any super expensive rotating cards like LotV. Any suggestions to make this better? I've never played control before, and cards seem to be low-costed enough right now that I decided to try it.                 EDIT: I changed it up a bit by taking out some stuff (or boarding it) for 2x Obzedat and 4x desecration demon. I also added a sideboard. One thing i did not do was to add Isolated Chapels, since I don't want to lose money with rotation. I know this makes it a lot worse, but it is worth it for me since i don't go to tournaments often anyway.

You do already have a lot of removal, but you might want a sweeper like {Mutilate} or even {Barter in Blood}.  {Terminus} is also really good.  Also, you may want some card draw--{Underworld Connections}, {Cremate}, and {Sign in Blood} are all pretty decent options.  This may be out of your budget, but {Restoration Angel} and {Lifebane Zombie} are friends.  {Crypt Ghast} is worth a thought, but I'm not sure if it's a card your build really needs.  It combos pretty well with {Debt to the Deathless}, but that may be a little narrow and difficult to pull off consistently.  {Vampire Nighthawk} is still pretty amazing.  {Blood Baron of Vizkopa} is pretty awesome, and is probably better against creature decks than Obzedat, even though I like Obzedat more.  I think BW control could be a thing, so I'm glad someone is trying it.  Let us know how your deck performs!

Most of these cards are great, but my problem for budgeting is that I don't want to have any of this rotate in October. I'll definetely try Underworld connections though, what should I take out for it?
