First draft of a black/colorless control and discard deck in Standard.

I really like Demon of Dark Schemes, and were pretty disappointed after opening two of them in two different Price Packs from FNM, so I figured why not build a deck around.

I also really like Whispers of Emrakul, but am not really sure how realistc/effective reaching delirium in a discard deck really is, hence it being sideboarded right now with Sinister Concoction.

I have so far tested it against some random decks on X-Mage which was fairly effective. Card draw is a big Problem and a lot of Matches came down to who had the better top-deck. So more Asylum Visitors would be preferable, but opponent tends to just keep a land in hand which I can't get rid of --> Whispers getting better by the second.

I am open to any suggestion --> more Eldrazi? --> more Delirium? --> more creatures?
