A mono-black control. Currently it's just mono-black, but when the next set launches I plan on incorporating some red for more spot-removal, making it red/black devotion to black control. If that makes sense. d:

current win-cons:

Desecration Demon Forces the opponent to sac-off or die to a giant flying bat. When they can't keep saccing off you have a larger bat than you started with. Give'm hell Mr. Man-Bat.

Gray Merchant of Asphodel He becomes scary very fast with how much devotion this deck can put out. Combined with the other win-con (Pack Rat) to produce massive extorts you can devote 20 by about turn 6.

Pack Rat Too many rats, too little time. You have a plethora of draw-power in the deck, and some nice life-gain as well which allows you to just keep multiplying the Rat. His token gives you 1 devotion as well, since it's an exact copy of Pack Rat.

Nightveil Specter If you exile enough of their good cards or lands you force them into having nothing to do, which is a win-win. I shouldn't consider this card a win-con, but it puts in enough work to be considered one to me.
