Sac creatures, lose life, draw cards, get demons, siphon life, all in devotion to Black.

The plan is to get my Apostles sacrificed once I have a Dark Prophecy going. Get a lot of card draw, get an Overlord, some harpies, throw down a Gray Merchant to siphon some life back, and throw down a Nighthowler if necessary to take advantage of all the apostles that died. I'm thinking Rescue from the Underworld would be fun, as it would mean I could sac a Merchant or Overlord and grab someone back while the ETB effects have fun.
