I only run 1 Nykthos because it's Legendary, so, I'd feel retarded having one in play, and one in hand. I already have had games where that's an issue with Whip, but ya' know.... Wear / Tear is a real card....so is Golgari Charm

But you can activate 1 Nykthos then drop the other and activate it again

@valendras Your logic that you should never play 2+ of a legendary card because if you draw extras they're dead is misguided. More copies of a card means that you want to draw it more, and the games where you draw 2 are pretty uncommon. Most mono-black devotion decks will choose to not play Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx at all, or play 2 copies of it if it is key to their strategy. If you don't want to get a lot of mana (which this deck doesn't really need to be doing), the Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx is unnecessary as it just makes Nightveil Specter slightly less consistent to cast on turn 3.
As for card choices, cut Doom Blade . There is WAY too much mono-black running around for that card to be very good. I would play more Pack Rat s, going for the full 4 because for most mono-black decks, Pack Rat provides singlehandedly the most overpowering board presence if you are able to get it out on turn 2 and beat a Bile Blight or Anger of the Gods .

It's not so much that it's legendary, as I would understand running 3 Brimaz for example, but that's it's a legendary LAND, in a format without land destruction. I'm considering dropping the Doom Blade's for Lifebane Zombie 's, especially with an upcoming PTQ this weekend. Any other suggestions?

That's like saying "Why Swords to Plowshares ?" It's non-targeted removal - it killed an AEtherling as well as a Blood Baron of Vizkopa . I can handle them gaining 4 life. I CAN'T handle a Blood Baron sitting on the field

Give credit where credit is due when net-decking, it's in that big yellow bar near the top when you're creating/editing the deck.
