Mono Black Devotion (Halp Me)

Modern Mono-Black

PepperPirate


Da Deck

The goal of this deck is to stall long enough with removals and Inquisition of Kozilek / Duress to gain access to high-devotion 3 and 4 drop creatures like Nightveil Specter or [Phyrexian Obliterator]], and wear your opponent down with Gray Merchant of Asphodel, or mass pack rats.

I usually get win condition by getting one or two Nightveil Specter with Nkythos, Shrine to Nyx for mana generation, and generating two to three rats per turn, or by having Phyrexian Obliterator and summoning Gray Merchant of Asphodel.

I haven't tried this deck out at FNM yet, but am wanting some suggestions as to what I should be putting in or taking out.

Synergies

Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx + Pack Rat - generates a ton of rats. If you have six devotion on the field (not too hard with Phyrexian Obliterator) you can pump out two to three rats per turn.

Bile Blight + Tragic Slip - Tragic slip works with any removal, but getting two or three weenies out with Bile Blight, then a third or fourth out with Tragic Slip is incredibly satisfying / mana efficient.

Inquisition of Kozilek + Surgical Extraction - removes any low-cost spells from the game. Entirely. At its worst, your down two health, and your opponent only had one of said spell; best case, you crippled your opponents early game.

Possible Changes

I'm thinking of taking out one Desecration Demon to add another Phyrexian Obliterator.

Also, I mean to replace each Bloodghast with Nether Traitor to ensure constant damage, or to provoke early removals.

Let me know what you guys think. This is my first deck, and I'm looking for suggestions.
