Black devotion.

Every permanent has 2 black (BB) symbols in it, save the god himself, Erebos, God of the Dead and the early defense Returned Phalanx.

Use creature return effects from Whip of Erebos and rescue form the underworld to generate life steal and life gain or get more tokens or creature destruction.

Returned Phalanx for early defense, also Pharika's Cure serves this purpose well.

Card drawing with Read the Bones and Underworld Connections (also devotion).

Devour Flesh for early defense and it get around things like Blood Baron of Vizkopa. You don't care how much life they gain, you'll get it back later and have huge fatties later too.

Prototype standard.
