Just like Salt Liquorice Assault (SLA) the deck

** Highlights and Synergies **

• Serious ramp to support high ACMC
• Leverage of massive draw (besides the obvoius glee): Ivory Tower (possibly supported by Reliquary Tower) and Venser's Journal.
• Lots of drain and gain
• Four decent tutors
• Leverage of life gain (besides keeping me afloat) : Erebos, God of the Dead, Ashes to Ashes, Pestilence Demon and many more
• Reasonable destroy/exile effects for a mono black deck
• A single infinite loop for emergency situations: Sanguine Bond + Exquisite Blood

Please +1 Upvote if you like where the deck is going!

Notes

• Slightly lower CMC would be nice
• Cheaper ramp would be okay (leveraged by commander draw)
