My semi-budget black devotion deck. I do not want to spend the money on Desecration Demons and Nightveil Specters, so I thought this deck up.

Right now I mostly have trouble balancing the removal. I understand 4x Hero's Downfall is a must, but what else should I use, and how much of each? Currently have access to Bile Blight, Doom Blade, Ultimate Price & Devour Flesh.

Another question is how many lands I should use? 26 is mostly for safety, but maybe I should go lower?
