{Pithing Needle} sideboard?

[TreeSmoker]

play mono-black instead? 

In my opinion
The only mono black that can keep up with monsters is pack rats :/

[Agrus Kos, Enforcer of Truth]

Possibly {Duress} or {Thoughtseize} in SB?

[Silent1236]

Dump {Plummet} for {Abrupt Decay}?  Gets rid of {Banishing Light}, {Courser of Kruphix}, and {Detention Sphere} is what I'm going for.

Seems good.

Not really. When you are draining 8 from Gary, it puts them down a turn. Besides storm breath they can't deal with Spector and removal just shoots your fatties down.

Thanks for all the suggestions guys. The main deck is set, I love how it runs. The sideboard is my main concern, trying to optimize it and such... Since I'm going into an unknown meta

Switch {flesh//blood} for {abrupt decay}, drop a Scooze for a fourth xenagos

[TreeSmoker]

Well you ony have 3 black sources
7 if you count caryatids.

I'd find a way to put dread bore in.

And make domri a 4 of
Xenagos is fine as a 3 but i personally run 2.
With the gruul monsters. Run
I can ramp into my 5 drops and so on by t3

Scoozy bro!

I'd suggest looking at variants that Chris Vanmeter has been playing. He's done very well with the deck and has been tweaking it for a while.

I've tried the variants that CVM has put together. Sure, he has put up great results with them. However, I have tested his build for several hours, and I just don't like it. Something about it doesn't feel right. Maybe it's the heavier black splash? Idk. All I know is that when I remove the black, my win% goes up a lot.

Gotta love CVM!
