EDIT: Had a bit of a rethink, and added/removed a number of cards. More 2 devotion cards (such as Keepsake Gorgon ), as well as Liliana of the Dark Realms, a second Pack Rat and 2 Desecration Demons

This is the first standard deck I've constructed, based on this deck here. However due to my own lack of cards/money, I haven't been able to completely reconstruct it, and so have remade it a bit based on the cards I do have, and a few of the decks I saw here.

What do you guys think? The basic idea behind it is exploiting cards with good amounts of devotion (such as Abhorrent Overlord , and Deathcult Rogue ) and using Gray Merchant of Asphodel to whittle away the life of the opponent.

Are there any changes/cards I should be aiming to get, or some cards I should remove? Comments very welcome!

Edit: The cards I hope to find/buy are Desecration Demon (x4), 3 more crypt ghasts, Liliana of the Dark Realms (x2) and, potentially, another Pack Rat.
