With that many  {Ready // Willing} I think you should think about using a set of {Overgrown Tomb}

Blazingblevins

{Ogre slumlord} jumps my mana curve up...... But I will try it out see how well it goes. And yeah I was thinking about 4 {overgrown tomb}. I dont know if that is too much life loss in this deck to shock them in.... But again I will test it out

You could think about  {Gift of Orzhova} for some lifelink. Also if a match goes that bad you can use willing or grey merchant for life

Blazingblevins

With {thoughtseize} and {duress} I might like {gift of orzhova}. Might slow me down idk. I will test it out. Need to get this ready for PTQ in a week

Blazingblevins

I would like to see a flying {mutavault} lol

If you are thinking of splashing green in your mana base you could also consider   {Down // Dirty} as a way of some hand destruction and recursion for your pack rat fodder.

If you are coming this close you might as well just have the mono black devotion...

With monoblack you can play {read the bones}

I like this set up better. It runs smooth, plus {diabolic tutor} gives me the search for {gray merchant of asphodel} for the late game win

Codester1991

Don't think the life loss is gonna be much of a problem if your running 2 whips of Erebos

particle

i like the idea of {ogre slumlord} as a 2 of.
i would say
-1 {diabolic tutor}
-1 {devour flesh} (main board)
+2 {ogre slumlord}.
just think your removal is good and you dont want to give them too much time and life to stabilize.
