Hi all people, I wanna ask just a few things, I'm building a monoblack "suicide(perhaps)" and i like to hear your opinions
the deck is:
20x swamps
4x Skittering Skirge
4x Unearth
4x grinning demon
2x phyrexian negator
4x black knight
4x Avatar of Discord
4x hidden Horror
4x Dark Ritual
4x Temporal Extortion
2x ashes to ashes
2x Terror
2x Living Death
Im thinking to change the unearth for 4x loxodon warhammer, and the skittering skirge for flesh reaver... or perhaps for plague sliver (the juzam cheap =])
any recommendation will be appreciate, thanks!

Hey Brujo,
I think 4 copies of Duress are mandatory in a deck like this and 4 Hymn to Tourach never hurt either. They're both commons, so I don't imagine it being terribly hard to procure them.
I would drop the Hidden Horrors, Avatars, and Unearths and just go for straight beatdown. I've tried making Hidden Horrors work but in the end I find they just aren't worth the card disadvantage. I think you'd be better off with Carnophage, Sarcomancy, and Flesh Reaver.
Ashes to Ashes is a pet card of mine and is always a lot of fun in casual games. I would go with Diabolic or Chainer's Edict over Terror for the most part. That way you'll have a method of dealing with Robots, black creatures and singular threats. I'd bring the total count of Ashes to 3 and Edicts to 4, dropping the Living Deaths. Living Death is an amazing card but I think the whole plan of dumping fatties into the graveyard with Horror/Avatar is too easy to disrupt.
I don't know about Temporal Distortion. It doesn't seem like it is worth 4 mana or a slot in your deck. Anything that costs 3 mana or more should win the game by itself in Suicide Black. With that in mind, I would go up to 4 Negators and maybe drop the Grinning Demons as well. Hypnotic Specter is worth a consideration, if you have them.
Just my $0.02
