My take on the Mono Black Ob Demons build. It's fairly demon tribal, and has played very well. The deck could use a bit more early to mid game protection but when it gets rolling the threats become very large and tend to hit everyone.

Ob wants everything to die and thinks that searching your library is not for the faint of heart. "By all means go ahead and search", just be ready to pay a hefty price. Languish type effects keep the board clear in the early game to give time for the larger CMC threats to hit the board. Spot removal and -1 type effects keep all those pesky Gods out of play.

Any recommendations would be appreciated. It's always fun to play Ob because,... well,... Big flying demons are fun to steer.
