Looks a lot like Conley woods mono blac control list is that what inspired you? If not i would check it out but maybe a {staff of nin}

Boyesrobert

I honestly have no idea, it's a spin off my friends deck. He's a turd so he probably copied it off the Internet though, so yeah it could be whoever that guys deck kinda. Why {staff of nin}? I'm not really a fan of that card, it seems wasteful to me

Well, Olivia is just a house on her own.

She manhandles a lot of decks. Devour flesh is a lifesaver. Say you just built Olivia up to a 5/5 or 6/6 and then they murder her, well with devour flesh, you can answer by destroying Olivia but gaining 5 or 6 life and thus coming out on top of the exchange.

Mothaelon

Tragic slip answers indestructible so easily. And keyrune is a ramp or a first striker and first strike is a very underlooked ability.

MtgRebel

Key rune has lost power in this set due to {boros reckoner} and the meta being so fast/big.

Mothaelon

It's still ramp for red/black. Which is huge.

These are all great. The keyrune will help all game. Providing ramp and a great blocker. If you're blocking Reckoner with the keyrune you're doing it wrong. Tragic slip, victim, devor flesh, and mutilate are meant to handle him. So main board those mutilates! Also 4 grisle is too much. I know the idea is a to play one early off of ghast, but it will be seen miles away and ghast will die the moment you play him. You don't want to rely heavily on him.
