I have a big weakness in my playing abilities, I just bought suterfuge because I remember someone talking about it, and well. My strumming hand is pretty much dead. What are some of the best songs to build this up with?

For a warm up before playing strum songs I like to burn myself out first.
I tend to pick Existo and just play through as my warm up, even though it kills my arm at first. The more you do it the more your arm will get used to it and over time you'll have more stamina.

In short, just keep playing even though you might not be great at it. Aim to tire yourself out as a warm up. Hope this helps.

Black Magic is the perfect song for this.

Just play these kind of songs more. People usually struggle with such strumming because they play the song a few times then give up. To be good at something, you need to play it often. If you really want to improve this aspect of your playing, force yourself to play strumming songs a solid 15 minutes every day (or every other day) and you will see improvement very quickly.

You could also strum as fast as you can on every loading screen.
