A sacrifice/ Black Devotion deck I've been trying to put together for a while, any and all input is welcome. Might put Reiver Demon in the sideboard for Surgical Extraction, but I would want 4 for use against control decks, so suggestions on what else to take out would be great. The Gravecrawler + Nether Traitor are sided to replace Gatekeeper of Malakir + Mortician Beetle if the deck needs more aggro. Extra Geralf's Messanger to add in with them to use Gravecrawler more often. Win conditions are; use Gary to drain their life, Crypt Ghast + Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx + Profane Command to drain their life, or throw out a Reiver Demon early game to dominate against a non-black deck with aggro. All around its a life drain deck with some good aggro creatures if that just isn't enough to take them out by the mid-game. Considering Lashwrithe if even more aggro is needed.
