Good ol' mono-black devotion.

The usual play sets:Desecration DemonGray Merchant of Asphodel

I only had 1 Pack Rat so decided to run Typhoid Rats for the 1-drop slot to make up for it.

Squelching Leeches work very nice with the abundance of swamps you play.

Obelisk of Urd is in to name Rats if you have a bunch of Pack Rats down. Or if you don't; name Leeches, for extra strong Squelching Leeches.

Running Unmake the Graves for the chance of returning Gray Merchant of Asphodel, or to give my single Pack Rat a second chance to swarm the board.

Edit

Had a lot of fun with this deck on its first night out. Went 3-1.

Game 1: Loss 0-2 vs. U/W control

Creatures either got Detention Sphered, Dissolved, or just Supreme Verdicted. Nothing stuck to the board and lost both games to Mutavault beats.

Game 2: Win 2-0 vs. G/R combo deck

His deck tried to Kruphix's Insight into Possibility Storm to play out a cheap Worldspine Worm . Though his Insights constantly whiffed and then he had nothing on board when on turn 5 I had Desecration Demon and Indulgent Tormentor out, swinging for 11.

Game 3: Win 2-1 vs. B/W mid-range

She played a B/W constellation deck with Grim Guardian, Fate Unraveler, Underworld Coinsmith etc.

She was stuck on land game 1, I was stuck on land game 2, and game 3 I kept a hand with Dark Betrayal, Devour Flesh and Ultimate Price. Removed all her early creatures to make way for Desecration Demon on turn 4, and then Squelching Leeches turn 5.

Game 4: Win 2-1 vs. BUG

Played a deck with Evolve creatures and Bioshift+Corpsejack Menace. Both games won were with double Desecration Demons down, and an 8/8ish Squelching Leeches.
