Thanks man, I'll test this our online and see how it goes.

Well, I went to me first FNM for Standard today, and found out a few things. My deck stomps midranges, and gets stomped on by control, although I do have somewhat of a chance against aggro.
Game 1 VS. Naya Midrange.
2-0 Victory with no complications.
Game 2 VS Selesnya Aggro
2-1 Loss. Blood baron was key to my victory due to his evasiveness of white removal, and I couldn't get him out.
Either need some early game presence, deck filtering, or luck for this match up.
Game 3 VS U/W Control
2-0 Loss. Didn't even see blood baron, mimicking ^^^.(Also heavy misplays on my part)
It was a learning experience, one crucial fix I need to help make this successful would be to swap one Obzedat for one Blood Baron.
Other that that, I don't really know what could make this deck better, or if my shuffling methods caused me to loose. xD
I'm open to opinions, thank you for helping in advance.

Egann,
Alms beast is there to deal with Aggro decks, due to them producing mass amounts of 1/1, 2/2, 3/3 etc. I'd get rid of one of their creature, and they gain life, basically a pseudo Devour Flesh. It also picks up Desecration Demon's slack when against aggro decks since they have infinite sacrifices. I keep both Alms and Demon in Game 1 and vary them both based on the type of deck i'm playing. As for Blood Baron, He isn't necessarily in this deck for his +6/+6 flying ability, he is in here for the fact that he is pro W/B and has lifelink along with it. As elpablo said, I don't really think Diabolic Tutor is a good card for this deck, I would have to replace it with the cards I'd want to get, so I can search for the card I want.
elpablo,
Erebos Is a good option, but I don't really know if it is worth it or not. A 4 mana enchantment creature at 5/7 with a sign in blood, negates opponent's life gain, and indestructible isn't bad, but I'd prefer underworld connections than his draw ability. Plus, I rarely get to a stage where I have 5+ Black devotion, and simply put, i'd prefer to keep the slots open for Blood Baron's, Obzedat's, and etc, rather than for Erebos. Maybe if a brand new "Super Life Gain" Deck comes out that completely dominates, I can consider him for SB but other than that, he is pretty useless in my opinion.
Thanks for the advice guys, I really hope I can help make this deck top notch by the next FNM with your guy's help.

This is a decklist that I got from another forum, I edited a bit but I want to see anything else that can make it better. I don't really want to spend too much money in order to finish this deck, unless its completely core. Thanks for helping!
