Basically the general gist of this deck is Turn 2 Heartless Summoning, and every turn following is just pumping out demons for 2-4 mana.

• Blood Speaker , tutors for four (2 with heartless summoning) and keeps me playing a lost cost demon every turn, if i don't have any in my hand (Desecration Demon/Abyssal Persecutor)

• Because of Demon's tendency to have double-triple swamps in their mana costs, I've decided to add some Black Devotion aspects to give me more mana (Nykthos) and keep my life full (Gray Merchant).

• Phyrexian Obliterator is definitely a great card to run in Mono Black, and he's amazing for both devotion, and he is always a game changer once he's out.

• Bad Moon helps balance out Heartless Summoning, These are the first cards to get sideboarded out for Dark Betrayal or removal, when placed against other black decks.

I'd love to get some feedback on how i could make this deck more viable in competitive play!
