Golgari midrange/control thing going on. There are a couple of ways I can take this:

Firstly, I'm contemplating removing Mutavault since the mana is demanding with Boon Satyr and almost every single other black card which is double black.

Secondly, contemplating removing another Read the Bones for another Underworld Connections to satisfy my devotion requirements for Gray Merchant of Asphodel and Erebos, God of the Dead.

However, I do really love the quickness and 'over and doneness' of Read the Bones, and I'm contemplating removing the Underworld Connections for another Read the Bones and taking out Gray Merchant of Asphodel for Reaper of the Wilds.

Gray Merchant of Asphodel can get that extra swing when needed, but it seems more often than not that he's coming down with no other devotion in play due to the massive amount of removal in the standard format. Which just makes the Reaper of the Wilds evasive body more attractive.
