This deck is what I decided to build when I saw the success of Mono Black Devotion. I began to consider adding a splash to the deck, and finally decided on Green, since I felt it had the most to offer.
Hero's Downfall, Doom Blade, Ultimate Price, Bile Blight, Feast of Dreams: Kill spells that offer the basis of the deck: killing off what I don't want to be on the field. Kill spells are often sideboarded game 2 against Control, in favor of Duress and Scavenging Ooze
Nightveil Specter: One of the stars of the deck, this creature gives me pressure in the air, the ability to use the opponent's cards against them, and 3 devotion to Grey merchant. Not a game winner by itself, but it sure makes things a lot easier.
Desecration Demon: Good against slowing aggro down, pressuring opponents to make the choice, and hitting opponents in the face if they don't tap him. Combined with the kill spells in here, the choice is a lot harder.
Pack Rat: Have cards you don't need in hand? Pitch them to Pack Rat, and watch as opponents are swarmed by your rodents!
Gray Merchant of Asphodel: Not much to say. Devotion life loss for them and life gain for me. An incredibly solid card.
Scavenging Ooze: I'm playing a bunch of kill spells, so why not eat what I kill? Also, a solid body and lifegain is nothing to complain about
Duress, Thoughtseize: The 2 best hand disruption spells in the current meta. I tend to leave my Duresses in sideboard against non-control matchups.
Underworld Connections: Devotion Enabler and card advantage when I need it.
Vraska the Unseen: -3 Vindicate, +1 that helps support Vindicate and kills anything that might hit her. Also, won me a FNM game with her ult. She will always have a spot in here.
Whip of Erebos: Actually a test, brings back Gray merchants pitched by Pack rat/killed in battle to trigger the devotion again. Also, lifelink is always good.
The Temples: Scrying gives card advantage, they all produce black, and they help me play spells exiled by Nightveil Specter.
Any help with the sideboard would be appreciated, because it's in the experimental stage
