Hello. Since the metagame here is almost unpowered I used to play a budget version of ANT (no moxes, the only expensive staples were Mana Crypt and lands). Now, I am willing to play the Legacy Grand Prix in Madrid and, as far as I know, the eternal community is organizing vintage side events for those days.
The sad thing here is: 1) I can´t afford power and 2) I dislike the use of proxies. So I´ve been working on a suicide budget deck that splashes green for Tarmogoyf. It is like a vintage version of Eva Green legacy´s archetype.

4 Tarmogoyf
4 Phyrexian Negator
4 Dark Confidant
3 Tombstalkers

4 Null Rod
4 Sadistic Sacrament
1 Pernicious Deed
1 Darkblast
Tutors:
1 Demonic Tutor
1 Vampiric Tutor
1 Demonic Consultation
Draw engine:
1 Necropotence
1 Yawgmoth´s Will
Mana accel:
4 Dark Ritual
1 Cabal Ritual
Selective Disruption:
4 Duress
4 Thoughtsieze
Lands:
4 Wastelands
1 Strip Mine
4 Bayou
2 Polluted Delta
2 Marsh Flats
1 Bloodstained Mire
2 Verdant Catacombs
2 Swamps
SB:
4 Layline of the Void
2 Krosan Grip
3 Oxidize
2 Umezawa´s Jitte
4 Diabolic Edict
I am not sure about Pernicious Deed. I have not tested it but it seems just too slow for competitive enviroment.
Even in Legacy this card isn´t used in tempo builds like this one. Perhaps it is just situational. I am running one, but it is not a good tutor target...
In Legacy I use Hymn to Tourach over Duress. Here I am using thoughtsieze as duress 5 to 8. Intuition says to me that in vintage it is crucial to keep my opponent out of what he/she specifically needs.
Do you think I should have a room for more discard like the Hymn?
It´s hard for me to accept a black suicidal deck without Sinkholes, but I´ve heard that in Vintage it is not quite relevant because manabases stabilize whith artifacts. I´m already running LD in the form of Wasteland and Strip Mine but, since I´m also running Null Rod to neutralize moxes, what would be the effect of raising the land destruction effects?
Thanks for reading...
