Cool stuff. Colonel Autumn seems underrated

According to SaffronOlive's analysis and mathematics that were done, since your deck's CMC /MV (converted mana cost/mana value) is spiraling towards 2.00, you actually should be running a total of 23 lands instead of 22. The way I found out how to tune this method a bit more when it comes to the "cut-off" line would be like this: Let's say you're exactly at 1.75 CMC/MV, right? You could be running 21/22 (it's a flex spot zone, anywhere in the 0.75 range, but for the sake of better consistency, let's say 22) lands, and you ought to be safe running 22 lands from 1.75 CMC to 1.87, the gap is 0.12, which is still closer to 1.75 CMC/MV than it is 2.00. However, the starting point to 23 lands, would be from 1.88 CMC/MV to 2.00. That gap is also 0.12. Since your deck's CMC/MV is currently (at the time of this comment) sitting at 1.89 CMC/MV, you're closer in range of running 23 lands and further from running 22 lands.

If you want, just use Google to search: "Brewer's Minute: How Many Lands?". It'll help you give a basic visualization of how to build most straightforward-themed decks, and even a few quirky ones with how mana bases function.

Just a tip, in case you want to improve fluidity!

Consuming Corruption is a better Tendrils of Corruption.

This deck is actively being built/revised; I have to guarantee the permanent copy setup of the deck.

Also, I've been thinking up a deck that kills people using treasure tokens with Marionette Master so that could be a good one too :)

Love the commitment to the bit. Please keep this as a Bracket 2 to 3, so it can be lavishly executed. Cheers!

Thank you for the feedback capwner! You're right, the point of the deck is not to be competitive: I saw a lack of mono-black decks centered around wizards and warlocks, and thought it would be fun to experiment.

I gave myself the initial constraints of a pauper format - I am aware it can't compete with the current meta -, favouring flavour over utility. For example, Severed Strands over Snuff Out.

I started from the creatures part of the deck: I thought Death Cultist, Dread Warlock or your mentioned Pit Keeper were cool cards, and built a pool of spells that complemented the atmosphere.

I'm curious to see how the deck evolves, and maybe challenge myself on reaching some sort of competitiveness. I am afraid though I might have to break the Pauper format and move into Modern, and in that regard I'm considering already working on both formats at the same time.

Thank you for your suggestions, I'll bring them in my next edit once I find the time! If you have any other suggestion, they're very welcome!

I have no idea about anything involving the Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) history, but after doing a small Google search I am now convinced that a MTG set based on this would be wonderful.

Six tribes, wars, treaties, etc all centered around the Indigenous American peoples.

That would honestly be fantastic.
