Looking for some help! After building this based off the monoblack premade commander, I put this deck up on TappedOut to help me organize it better and keep track of what's in it. By the time I'm done editing I'm probably gonna have a heart attack when I see the average CMC's. I'm looking for anything that would be mean to throw down for a low cost that would be a nasty beastie for my opponents to deal with while I work on getting Demons out, like Archfiend of Depravity to really get them on their knees. Then, the goal is to try and flood the board with zambies that can be sacrificed or thrown at my opponents until I win.

This delicious SOB I've been working on for a while now. Monoblack, all about sacrificing. Don't get too attached to any creature you throw down because chances are, it's gonna die.

Possible epic combinations are using Overseer of the Damned to put out zombie tokens, and then sacrificing those tokens for Stronghold Assassin or Altar of Dementia. Whereupon if you have Butcher of Malakir on the field, your opponent will either mil or lose creatures indefinitely.

If things aren't going your way, deploy Smokestack to start messing up your opponents' game and sack all your own stuff in the meantime, bringing your neat goodies back with Recurring Nightmare and seizing everyone's McFreakin' graveyard with Grimoire of the Dead.

Other neat cards includes Keening Stone which can mil like a mofo and help you utilize Grimoire of the Dead to a higher potential. Then there's Grave Betrayal which is best used in tandem with Butcher of Malakir and more.

Ghoulcaller Gisa is also fun because it lets you sack your own goodies in exchange for copious amounts of zombies, which can be used to swarm the field.

And if nothing's going your way, Black Sun's Zenith is sure to wreak some havoc, especially if your opponent has that one big baddy that you can't get rid of. Just weaken it tremendously or debuff it to death.

Added another 7 swamps and made the following changes Out: Reiver Demon Way too big for the effectss, and unfortunately unless he's returned to my hand it wouldn't occur again. I already have a multitude of boardwipes as it is Haunted Plate Mail I don't know what I was thinking putting this in here. It's cool, but I'm unable to utilize this very well in this deck. Grave-Betrayall An amazing card, however it's got a very high cost for what it does, and so I've decided to take it out. Palladium Myr Another 'buyable' source of mana, however a land would be better as many mana costs and mana abilites call for Black mana, not uncolored. Sidisi, Undead Visier I might bring this guy back... Dregs of Sorrow Another awesome card, but demands five mana before I can start blowing stuff up. Definitely hang onto this though... Promise of Power Best utilize with nine mana, but then it costs me 5 life and that's unnecessary. Rescue from the Underworld Another hard one to say goodbye to but I'll keep it handy. Plague Myr Adios Demon of Wailing Agonies Good card, but unless my Commander is on the field he's just a 4/4 with flying and that's not good enough

In: Spoils of Blood Tragic Slip Staff of the Death Magus and finally, those seven swamps. Hopefully this performs better
