I'm new to magic and this is my first constructed deck for standard. Would love some input and advice! Want to make this deck as feasible as possible to play some FNM :3

Basically the idea is to get Bubbling Cauldron and Sanguine Bond on the field and start the lifegain + life loss game, while controlling the board with all kinds of removal spells. I put in Crypt Ghast to help with mana ramp and life loss via extort, but I'm not very sure about that choice atm. Gray Merchant of Asphodel just combos very well with a monoblack deck and Sanguine Bond in my opinion and can instantly do a lot of damage if it resolves. Elixir of Immortality is there to make sure the combo/endgame survives.
