    Maybe consider Ionize instead of Sinister Sabotage, or at least in addition to Sinister Sabotage. It doens't have a uu, which is nice for a 3 color deck. 
    UU might not be a problem most of the time, but you never know.
    Also I think you should remove Detection Tower because it makes my Carnage Tyrant less good against you.

      I had it boarded for CT and then I realized that is also helps against shalai, some merfolk, and that damn nighveil specter in dimir.
      Also I like sabotage better only because I need that surveil for filtering way more than I need 2 damage. 
      I also am way more likely to have UU on trun 3 than UR based on playtesting

    The Eldest Reborn is one of the black saga's that I saw one of the top decks play on saturday that actually seemed really good too. Its another piece of removal for two turns depending on how you play it and then you get anything from anyones graveyard into play for free.

      Yeah I need to update my list, I forgot about that card and then I made sure I added 2 of, and I did a little switching in my side/main board.

      I am in love with this deck though.  It feels way more intuitive and natural to me than my jeskai build.  Super stoked to take it for a test run at fnm.  On MTGA its doing really well so that makes me feel good.
