Fiddled around with my Xira Arien deck; the basic idea is to punish people for drawing cards with Kederekt Parasite, Underworld Dreams and Spiteful Visions, punish them for discarding with Megrim, and force them to do both with Xira, Wheel of Fate/Fortune, Command, etc. Supplemented with a team of Shamans, Sensation Gorger mops up with a cadre of kinship triggers. The Words enchantments help you avoid taking too much damage from your own Visions, all the while padding you with chumps, dishing out two damage a pop, or destroying your opponents' hands. Any suggestions? I thought about adding Primordial Sage or Regal Force, but not sure what to cut. Thanks fellas!

Would learn my licks with a bottle neck slide
Aha! Excellent suggestion - in it goes!
I was going to suggest that myself. Also, you could try Viseling and Iron Maiden.

I'm a fan of Urza's Blueprints if you really need card draw, but black begs you to run Phyrexian Arena. The arena is boss; it's never let me down.
