I have the frame work for a mono black deck, but am not satisfied at all. Need some ideas and opinions to make it more aggressive. Yes i would like to keep it themed with skeletons rather than zombies. So many zombie decks out there I would like something a bit different.

Creatures
2 Corrosive Mentor
3 Death Baron
4 Drudge Skeletons
4 Korlash, Heir to Blackblade
2 Nightmare
4 Rimebound Dead
4 Unworthy Dead
4 Urborg Skeleton

Spells
4 Dark Ritual
4 Dash Hopes
1 Demonic Tutor
3 Infernal Tutor

Lands
3 Cabal Coffers
20 Snow-Covered Swamp
1 Volrath's Stronghold

Good start, what don't you like about it? As for me I would lose dash hopes, it's never been beneficial for me, replace it with some removal. Also your corrisive mentors, I like the wither idea especially with the regen however they don't fit the over all skeleton theme, maybe switch them out of blight sickle.(I like equipment myself) Speaking of equipment I would try to get viridain longbow in there, in my skeleton deck I found that it works really well with the barons and mentor/sickle, i use it with wall of bone, which provides some solid defense.

On a side note: high five for using rimebound dead it is such a great card, but nobody plays it because of the snow. I love the artwork on it.

Don't have any sickles but i do have nightmare lash. Works best with Korlash and Nightmare, cost the same as mentor to play and can equip same turn (3 life isn't bad). My 6/6 Flying horse just became a 12/12 flying horse.

Switch the dash hopes.....Doomblade is currently the only thing that i thought about using in its place. Just thought it would be funny to go up against a blue deck and counter their counter.
