B/U Tog... does green really add that much?

[Suicide Black]

Ever since Night's Whisper was unveiled, the idea of a B/U Tog deck (one abandoning cards like cunning wish and pernicious deed altogether to focus on mana denial) has appealed to me. This version seemed to have the potential to be a more ruthlessly consistent deck than even GroAtog.

Of course, such a version requires some new adaptations such as a much heavier component of black and mana denial.

Cards like wasteland, sinkhole, and possibly even null rod (if the mana base was adapted to phase out the off color moxen in favor of dark rituals) add a significant disruptive element to the deck. In such a version, spiketail hatchling seems quite promising as well.

This is all mostly brainstorming. I'll be the first to admit that I'm not an expert on tog based decks and have no idea if my current version is truly on par with standard groatog based on a couple of dozen goldfish turns.

I will state that the mana denial element seems to have added a very significant dimension to the deck though.

That's why I'm posting the idea here, to get your more experienced anaylisis and feedback.

I don't think you have any idea how Tog plays.
