Notes
 
Or perhaps abyssal persecutor would be good.  Need to be sure you can kill it, though.  Maybe swap in Innocent Blood for tragic slip, or something.  Oh, I guess Phyrexian Negator, could help, but your opponent would need to be foolish enough to damage it.

Phyrexian arena is not quite dark confidant, but your meta is not quite legacy.  You should try one sometime.  Swap out a sign in blood for it.

Pulse tracker vs. lacerator (vs. guul draz)?

Right now, only seven creatures with colorless mana in their cost - hall of the bandit lord gets in the way of phyrexian obliterator, even though it would be nice for the negator.  Maybe don't use it.

Against a fast deck, you may want one-cost creatures instead of blights.

Do a little revision:

    I'd go with your gut on Lightning Greaves - it costs you tempo. Also, Diregraf Ghoul and Gatekeeper of Malakir are where it's at.

      Thanks, Arthur! Great advice! I had thought about adding diregraf ghoul, but I never considered they gatekeeper. I already had geth's verdict in- why not lower it to sorcery speed and get a creature for free?

        Oops, forgot the kicker.  Not quite free, but still awesome.

          Right. Worth the extra mana, but can be played without it in a pinch.
