My attempt at a reasonably-priced mono-black deck making use of devotion, a mechanic I really enjoyed, to drain life using Gray Merchant of Asphodel . Aggro is also an option thanks to Rakdos Shred-Freak . Desecration Demon forces opponents to either take big hits or kill off their own creatures, so either way they're hurting. Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx ramps like crazy, allowing for big plays early-game. Go for the Throat is the best removal for my local meta, since basically no one uses artifact creatures in my group.
