I apologize, I meant to ask the inspiration behind your user name. My mistake. I appreciate you sharing with your explanation. You put a lot of effort into your deck as well.

Thank you for your kind words. I wish I had a colorless deck, they look like so much fun, especially yours!
At the risk of sounding foolish given that this deck is more on the competitive side but by no means a cEDH deck, have you considered removing either of the following...
Gemstone Caverns - Given you have a 7/99 chance (probably more given a free mulligan), is the potential for early ramp at the cost for a card in hand? How often do you achieve this and is it worth it when you do?
City of Traitors - I get the potential for early game ramp, but at the cost of sacrificing itself, I'm unsure. How has this card played for you in your meta?
I suppose it really depends on how much the blue player + interaction bothers you in the meta.

I saw your Karlov deck on featured and had to ask, what is the inspiration behind your name? It's so uniquely interesting.

Love your updates, I enjoy reviewing your deck.
Have you considered Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth for synergy with newly added Mana Web to deal with blue players and help 2 of your lands? Or does the potential benefit to the opponent heavily outweigh the limited synergies noted above?

Said on Evil dead ☠️ …...

Nothing wrong with your artifact count. Do keep in mind in more competitive metas, there will be a fair amount of artifact removal though. Regarding your recursion comment, black doesn't have much good artifact recursion, most is in colorless. That being said, a versatile tool you might find of use is Beacon of Unrest as it is reuseable and can bring artifacts or creatures from either grave. It's cmc is a bit high for what it does, but that's the cost.
Regarding the question is it necessary to have all the artifact, some are worth cutting potentially....
Potential Artifact Cuts
Elixir of Immortality - Not needed, lifegain is minimal, recursion is not even to hand. I can understand using this in response to grave hate but even then, is that such a big issue given (I assume) that you're focusing on drawing into your combo? How has it played for you?
Font of Mythos - I get the idea behind it, but 4 mana while helping your opponents is a bit too expensive for my tastes. Since you said you wanted suggestions for a more competitive meta, this is a prime cut.
Mind Stone > Everflowing Chalice - Chalice is nice to combo with rings + voltaic key but you're not doing that here. Mindstone is similar to chalice (2x counters) but has the option of draw. Given how the flexibility of chalice ramp is outweighed by the benefit of other rocks at the same cmc, I would stick with mindstone. There's a reason it's highly played in more competitive metas.
River Song's Diary - Fun card for sure, just not central to your deck's theme.
Staff of the Death Magus - Worst card in your deck, hands down.
Sword of Once and Future - Only works on less than 18% of your deck. Combat damage is not central to the deck's theme. Pro black might stop you from targeting your own creatures (should you ever want to). It's a fun card, but not needed.
Non Artifact Potential Cuts
Tainted Remedy - Lifegain isn't seen in more competitive metas. If this is a decision for your particular meta, I understand. Otherwise, I don't see it's value.
Songs of the Damned - You run less than 20% creatures, even with all the wheels/draw/discard, I am unsure of how impactful this is for you. What has your experience been with it?
Cabal Stronghold - I strongly dislike this card. It's purpose is ramp. You need 4 basic swamps + this just to break even. Its unlikely you get that many basics in a row, in the beginning, with such little lands and basics in general.
Shizo, Death's Storehouse > Rogue's Passage - Not a beatdown deck. While I get the potential for combat as an alt wincon should things go awry, it's expensive for what it does. Shizo, while limited to legendary creatures, it's much easier to use. Plus, politics!
Xtough's suggestions are extremely solid, don't sleep on them. He makes great points all around. His suggestion of Imp's mischief is spot on, it's my favorite black card. It can redirect targeted removal, draw and extra turns while "countering counterspells." Don't discount the political nature of it as well in addition to being able to bluff with 2 mana open (just like the blue player!)
