There was a bit of talk about this deck in the new main thread before the emergency cat ban happened:

We can discuss deck choices here. I'm running a variant of this that lacks the enemy fetches, but runs four swiftspear instead of two. Why these people keep running two I have no idea.

I have almost everything for this deck outside of the Mesas (which I was gonna pick up anyway) so I think I'll try this out and let you know what works. I've been wanting to try Mardu for a little while and have brainstormed a couple different builds in the color set. Secretly, I just want to cast Lightning Helix :v:

Do you have many one-drops in the deck? Turn 1 critter, turn 2 swing and then cast Chart seems rad. Obsession is more likely to net you cards when you're already ahead too, since you have to connect in order to draw.

A guy at my store was running monoblack a while ago and his list was pretty similar to yours. Night's Whisper is good removal if you have lots of black mana and should hit pretty much everything in the format except Angler and Dredge's creature suite.

I have definitely been in some games where the Fatal Pushes were dead cards.

Also, I'm trying to keep my curve lower so I want my top end to pretty much be Obliterators. I'm not sure how well either Liliana would work. If anything I would probably go with an enchantment/creature that gives me more cards (Erebos sprang to mind as a one or two of) or has a protective nature (Stillmoon Cavalier).

Play my favorite "I wish this was playable in Modern" card Phyrexian Arena!
