Hi! im not the best Magic player out there, as someone who actually read the deck list might guess but this is (as the title suggests) a Mono black control deck centered around curses that whittle down your opponent over time, im sure there is a lot of room for improvement but ill try to reason my card choices outside of the obvious ones

1. "you have so little creatures, why run raiders wake/Heartless pillage?"

Raiders wake synergyses really well with hailfire, Heartless pillage and Torment of scarabs, quite alot of decks end up with a huge amount of cards in hand and just discard them and draw more to counteract your torment of scarabs, so making them eat shit every time they do so is a nice way to guarantee damage

2. Doomfall over other hard removals

Doomfall does the one thing most other cheap removals dont, get rid of those pesky gods, most of the time you have to run Vraska's Contempt or Hour of Glory to exile but with this amount of removal getting your opponent down to 1 creature by the time you have to deal with indestructables shouldnt be hard, not to mention the hand exile for those pesky torment of hailfire/second memesun decks

other smaller things to mention; Masterminds lets you have a sideboard for those situational games where you really need that one specific card or helps you fetch your Cruel Reality,Torment of Hailfire or Josu Vess in those late situations or as an ass saver for huge boards with Bontu's
