Hello guys! this is my first deck i submitting.

Mono-Black devotion deck with access to better spells to have slight upper hand against lot of other popular competitive decks in format.

4x Abrupt Decay

Just a great card substitute for Devour Flesh.

Deals with small creatures Nightveil Specter we would like to use Devour Flesh early on anyway. Opponent won't gain life and cannot sac something irrelevant like Mutavault instead the single Pack Rat on battlefield.

Ability to deal with powerfull enchantments such as Detention Sphere, Underworld Connections as well !!!

Cons: Won't deal with Blood Baron of Vizkopa. Keep in mind you should deal with him before he land battlefield with 4x Thoughtseize and 4x Lifebane Zombie.

2x Golgari Charm

Fixing weakness of Mono-Black devotion vs Agro decks.

Awesome card to deal with all of these pesky small creatures: Soldier of the Pantheon, Boros Elite, Daring Skyjek, Imposing Sovereign, Dryad Militant, Lyev Skyknight and Master of Waves or army of Elspeth Soldier's taping your Desecration Demon.

Protect your creatures vs Supreme Verdict !!! or safe them versus removal.

4x Lifebane Zombie

We play Lifebane Zombie instead Nightveil Specter because of several reasons:

• It's not always guaranteed you will have BBB between 4x Mutavault and 3x Forest.
• Helps offset cons of not having sac mechanism for Blood Baron of Vizkopa
• We don't have access to U source of mana thru Temple of Deceit
• We play 1x Whip of Erebos and Lifebane Zombie having more power and trigger when whipped.

1x Whip of Erebos

We do play only 3x Gray Merchant of Asphodel while loosing 1 devotion off every Nightveil Specter vs Lifebane Zombie so we would like to gain life. It's also nobrainer for me to not having just one in your Mono-Black devotion deck.

1x Vraska the Unseen

We use one instead Erebos, God of the Dead. It's nice card fitting deck theme which guarantee you at least one removal activation. Unfortunately it doesn't hit Blood Baron of Vizkopa.

What are your thought's guys i believe there is still room for improving mainboard and sideboard. Looking forward for serious feedback and discussion.
