Mono black devotion deck including cards from M14 RTR and Theros.

I would run Thoughtseize and Mutavault but don't really have the desire to drop that much money. Plus the deck runs pretty well without them.

Temple of Deceit and Temple of Malice are in there for the scry bonus. Also if my Nightveil Specter hits and they are playing blue and/or red, good stuff.

Other than that, deck is pretty self explanatory. Praise the all mighty Gary (Gray Merchant of Asphodel). He is the true power behind this deck.
