I got the "Sworn to Darkness" EDH deck for Christmas, and I love it as it is, but I feel like it can be improved a little while still sticking to the overall theme of sacrificing creatures, demons, and multiplayer mischievousness.

I felt like there was some dead weight in the mana ramp department with the Worn Powerstone and Charcoal Diamond. I am also not a big fan of Unstable Obelisk in this deck as its permanent removing ability costs too much for a deck that is already full of creature removal. I'm not sure if I'm going to keep using Ob Nixilis as the commander as I feel like there are more powerful options out there, and I don't want to use Ghoulcaller Gisa or Drana, Kalastria Bloodchief as my commander. I'm currently looking at legendary demons and deciding which one would be best as a commander for this type of deck.

I own one Liliana Vess and I've been looking for a deck to put her in and I think this deck is a great place for her, as she can force a player to discard each turn, can tutor for cards, and if I get around to using her ultimate I bring back all creatures I've sacrificed for bonuses along the way.Blood Artist is just a good card to have in a deck where you are sacrificing creatures left and right, so he's going in.Dark Prophecy adds more value to all of my sacrifices in a big way that combos well with Butcher of Malakir or Blood Artist.Nirkana Revenant makes up for the 2 or 3 mana ramp cards I'm cutting and goes well with crypt ghast, causing all of my swamps to tap for BBB.

Any other suggestions are welcome, as I'm always trying to improve my play and my decks. Upvote if you like it since upvotes boost my self-esteem and I like that.
