Demonic Pact is such a good card. It has so much value just built into it that you feel like you cant lose after you resolve it. That is until four turns later and you have to choose the "you lose the game" clause.

Enter Puca's Mischief. On the turn before you would lose the game because of Demonic Pact, just trade it away for really anything your opponent has so that they get the downside of losing the game. Puca's Mischief has several other applications in this list like trading Wall of Omens for a Tarmogoyf, or a Detention Sphere for a Knight of the Reliquary.

Venser, the Sojourner and Sundial of the Infinite both have synergies with other parts of the deck as well as being able to stop Demonic Pact from being able to kill you.

The rest of the deck is mostly just your run of the mill control deck. It cannot close out a game quickly without Donateing the Pact but I have high hopes for this. I am having trouble deciding on a side board. I don't know what it will be weak against other than affinity.
