Modern Mono-Black Demons. Here we sacrifice creatures to appease the Lords' whims

Sac Creatures:

• Bloodghast returns to the field via Landfall, with added Haste when the enemy is weaker
• Bloodsoaked Champion returns from the grave as long as pressure is kept high
• Dire Fleet Hoarder is a one-time sacrifice but it helps with mana costs

Utility:

• Basilisk Collar makes blocking dangerous and helps mitigate damage taken
• Deadly Dispute refuels hand and speeds up plays
• Shadowspear tramples through blockers, gives Life and can deny Hexproof and Indestructible

Interactions:

• Fatal Push fits nicely here with permanents leaving the field often
• Thoughtseize spies and rips apart enemy hands

Demons:

• Desecration Demon is a 6/6 Flying for 4 mana, and to delay him a blood tribute must be paid
• Demonlord of Ashmouth is another strong flyer that can recover from most forms of removal
• Daemogoth Titan is a colossal threat for a cheap cost

Sideboard:

• Archfiend of Depravity is great against Aggro and Tokens
• Ratchet Bomb wipes opposing boards
• Relic of Progenitus negates graveyard strategies
• Rite of Consumption sacrifices a demon for direct damage and lifegain
• Torpor Orb nullifies ETB effects
• Pithing Needle renders many cards useless
• Witchbane Orb safeguards from Mill, Burn and Discard

I'm debating switching Dire Fleet Hoarder for Dusk Legion Zealot, as the deck can have matches where the treasure token is useful, and others where the extra card would be better. Needs playtesting
