Torpor Orb combos with Demonlord of Ashmouth and Treacherous Pit-Dweller in addition to being really good in general (stops titans, Champion of the Parish, Snapcaster Mage, Acidic Slime, Solemn Simulacrum, Massacre Wurm, Geralf's Messenger, Flicker effects, etc).

Edit

I began some testing and removed Heartless Summoning pretty quickly. It clutters up the 2-slot FAR too much - I need it for Pit-Dweller and Torpor Orb more so than anything else. Trying to stick a Heartless Summoning on the field turn 2 screws with the aggro aspect of the deck despite being useful for the creatures costing 4/5 mana. Everything seems to still curve out nicely without Heartless. I added some copies of Fume Spitter as a quick replacement during test runs and I very much like how that turned out for a bunch of reasons.

Fume Spitter:
- Kills an insane amount of creatures early on (Birds of Paradise, Llanowar Elves, Inkmoth Nexus, Champion of the Parish, Champion of Lambholt, Snapcaster Mage, Delver of Secrets ^Flip, illusions, 1/1 tokens, etc).
- Can be used on your Undying creatures in response to opponents killing them to remove +1/+1 counters.
- As a 1-drop creature, you can immediately begin attacking and putting pressure on your opponent.
- Will trigger Morbid reliably for Tragic Slip and Skirsdag High Priest.
- Can whittle down large creature threats to make them more manageable.
- Will be food for Demonic Taskmaster later on when it's not needed so much.

I also took out 1 Cavern of Souls. 4 seemed like too much at the time, especially since I've been adding more non-Demon creatures, and 3 seems to do alright. Will require more testing though.
