Since I have another demon deck (Bleed for the Devil) and wanted to work around the glorious Ritual of Soot card, I thought "Why not make a control deck with lots of creature hate?". This is the result:

• Card draw, fixing and fishing for the Ritual using Serum Visions and Notion Rain

• Hate cards in Go for the Throat , Thoughtseize , Inquisition of Kozilek , Vraska's Contempt and Mana Leak . Ritual of Soot kills most creatures in Modern and is the signature card of the deck

• Ramp with Crypt Ghast . Extort is a pleasant bonus against the self-damage some cards have here

• 1st win-con is attacking with Desecration Demon and Bloodgift Demon . The later also offers more draw

• 2nd win-con is Exsanguinate using the extra mana from the Ghast

Sideboard notes:

• Swap Go for the Throat with Victim of Night against artifacts

• Swap Mana Leak with Negate if I'm sure I need the counter for non-creature spells

• Swap 2 Ritual of Soot with 2 Doom Whisperer if the enemy is not playing a creature-heavy deck

This is still a new idea for me so I welcome suggestions and tips for improvement. Sideboard subject to changes.

This deck might not fare well against burn as there are not a lot of creatures to kill, it's pretty fast and my self-damage doesn't agree with it, but against most archetypes is a good match-up. I wouldn't mind dropping Blue if the deck could maintain control and draw/fixing, but need help on that.
