Legion's End Seems like a solid option for dealing with gravecrawler, and bloodghast, and exiles sticher. Maybe a little too narrow though.
Edit: Also removes snapcasters, and a large section of humans deck.
That's why you have other cards like scavenging ooze. Most of the time B/G, or midrange decks is going to be slightly unfavored in game 1. Trying to have enough answers for everything in single target removal, while having a board of value creatures. It's not the best spot to be in usually, but that's where the sideboard comes in. Cut the 4 lotv's for 4 layline's, and maybe a couple of spellbombs and you're looking really good vs graveyards. Plus you have an enchantment, and artifact now to feed the goyf.
A pair of kalitas in the main and a combination of spellbombs/grafdiggers/layline in side should be enough to deal with the graveyard. Kalitas is an absolute monster in this deck. Shuts down graveyard, has lifelink, creates a board, and pumps himself(which kills bridge) all in one card.
seems like a playable 'path' effect in this deck without the downside of giving the opponent land. Change up the basic mana base for snow covered basics.
Overall idea is to stress the opponent's hand early and often to the point that Obzedat, Ghost Council, and Gideon, Ally of Zendikar can close out the game. Myth realized as mentioned earlier is nice for early game but falls off. I find obz is able to help close out the game when you've grinded out the opponent.
No sideboard added as I've changed up the sideboard multiple times and I don't have anything concrete at the moment.
Hey, what's your guys opinion on running a Warrant // Warden Putting an attacker on top of their library seems great for tempo, and being able to create a celestial colonnade token for the same mana seems very reasonable.
Still a newbie to the deck, but I'd imagine tossing the bontu's and a through the breach would be optimal. Since they're more likely to kill you with the inkmoth, and bontu's is sorcery. Then 2nd breach is just redundant.
After maybe goryo's the borb for blocker. Then if no griselbrand use through the breach on worldspine.
Any opinion on The Immortal Sun? It seems like it has a fair bit of power. Shutting off opposing planeswalkers, lowering mana costs, and giving an additional card. Seems like a decent single cards. I doubt people would want to give you that with gifts.
Martial Coup would maybe work in a tron style deck, easy to get 5+ mana. Otherwise seems a little weak since the tokens aren't flying, and requires 7 mana to sweep.

I'd recommend checking out that tech for some ideas. White is usually the best support color for Smallpox because Flagstones of Trokair heavily offsets the land loss.

Since you're not leaning heavily on the Jace, the Mind Sculptor/Terminus synergy.
Cycle, and fetchable outweighing the etb imo.

I don't think dampening sphere will be that much of an impact. Worst case scenario we'll need to run a main deck EE or Abrade
