      I'm getting back into Vintage lately and really liking the look of building a Steel City Vault deck. However, I'm a bit bored of the usual Force of Will-based decks so I'm looking at making my list more B-based.

      Here's a first draft of my current list.

      Creatures (4):
      1 Inkwell Leviathan
      2 Goblin Welder
      1 Trinket Mage

      Nonmana Artifacts (6):
      1 Aether Spellbomb
      1 Mindslaver
      1 Nihil Spellbomb
      1 Sensei's Divining Top
      1 Time Vault
      1 Voltaic Key

      Instants (10):
      1 Ancestral Recall
      1 Brainstorm
      4 Dark Ritual
      1 Fire // Ice
      1 Mystical Tutor
      1 Thirst for Knowledge
      1 Vampiric Tutor

      Sorceries (13):
      1 Balance
      1 Demonic Tutor
      4 Duress
      1 Ponder
      1 Regrowth
      1 Tendrils of Agony
      1 Thoughtseize
      1 Time Walk
      1 Tinker
      1 Yawgmoth's Will

      Enchantments (2):
      1 Necropotence
      1 Yawgmoth's Bargain

      Planeswalkers (3):
      2 Dack Fayden
      1 Tezzeret the Seeker

      Mana Rocks (10):
      1 Black Lotus
      1 Lotus Petal
      1 Mana Crypt
      1 Mana Vault
      1 Mox Emerald
      1 Mox Jet
      1 Mox Ruby
      1 Mox Sapphire
      1 Mox Pearl
      1 Sol Ring

      Lands (12):
      4 Gemstone Mine
      1 Glimmervoid
      3 Mana Confluence
      1 Seat of the Synod
      1 Tolarian Academy
      2 Vault of Whispers

      The main aim of the deck is to win via Time Vault combo, but it does have several other win conditions too:

      Dark Ritual-based combo with Yawgmoth's Will
      Mindslaver lock
      Tinker -> Inkwell Leviathan

      This is only a first draft and I'm looking for suggestions, though I would like to retain a focus on B rather than going down the Force of Will route.

        -1 Dack Fayden +1 Tendrils of Agony, and its a little better. I would also drop the Regrowth and 1 Dark Ritual for 2 Thoughtcast. Otherwise looks pretty nice IMO.
