This is a mono black life drain EDH, it has very few creatures, no recursion and no tutors and I love it.

I decided not to run tutors in it despite playing the colour with the best access to them, instead I tried to focus the deck on what I wanted it to do, namely: life loss/direct damage, removal, ramp and draw.

I made this decision mainly because I am extremely lazy and find it tiresome to search through a hundred cards every time I cast a spell, especially since this deck is designed to speed up the game.

I welcome any and all criticisms, comments, ideas and anecdotes and don't worry I don't offend easily so feel free to let your opinions flow :-).
