Mono black budget deck entirely from Theros (I want to keep it entirely in the Theros block, so I will revise when the other 2 sets come out).

But it needs a LOT of work... gotta figure out how to make it a little more effective, but not sure what direction to go in yet.

I want to play up the devotion synergy between Gray Merchant of Asphodel, (perhaps bringing him back from the graveyard a few times), Disciple of Phenax , and Erebos, God of the Dead, while limiting my opponent's early game. I have a couple of finisher creatures if it goes that many rounds in.
