Black devotion designed to win through Abhorrent Overlord and his tokens, direct damage from Gary the Merchant or a combination of the two.

Needs testing against aggro - seems like it might be a bit slow. Interested in whether or not I have enough removal - did consider running 4 doom blades and 4.

Newt/Witch/Cauldron are there to help me deal more direct damage and/or gain life/chump block as needed.
