Not a typical mono-black standard. The deck features Desecration Demon, Pack Rat, and Nightveil Specter,but its all about the Whip of Erebos + Gray Merchant of Asphodel and the Whip of Erebos + Abhorrent Overlord.

When you have your opponent worried about taming your Desecration Demon and you're sitting pretty with at least 2 creatures with 2 black devotion you will turn 6 life / harpies on a Gray Merchant / Abhorrent Overlord drop.

Wan't to start dropping Pack Rats? Got a Whip of Erebos in hand? Feel free to discard Gray Merchant or Abhorrent Overlord. Pack Rat + Whip of Erebos + Devotion = Win. If you have to sac with Overlord don't be afraid to push out a Gray Merchant and bring it back with the Whip for the extra life gain.

Any other ideas would be great.
