This is a Mono Black Devotion Deck that runs Pack Rats as the main source of threat and hurt. The Draw Power comes from the three Underworld Connections and Erebos himself. While Erebos does help keep my opponents from gaining life, I can use that to my advantage with cards like Devour Flesh (If I have to side them in, in a mirror match).

Somethings I have considered is hand disruption, now I know Thoughtseize is standard, but that's like a fifteen dollar card. I don't have the money to spend on a full playset of those. So instead I use Drainpipe Vermin and Duress, I would have also thrown Mind Rot in there too, but I would have been hurting on either my draw, or creatures, and quite frankly I don't think I can afford to hurt in those two areas.

Liliana does what she does best, and ramps my mana sky high.

Essentially I'd like to find a few other things to help this out. so any suggestions would be nice.
