The idea here is to abuse Gray Merchant of Asphodel with recursion mechanics like Whip of Erebos, combined with various auto-include black cards for removal and card draw.

This is the first black deck I've ever played in a Constructed format - I'm normally a tribal aggro player, but with the death of Human tribal, I decided to experiment outside of my comfort zone.
