Notes
 
GAMEPLAN
----------------------------

Black devotion splashing red for the extra discard/agression. Main Idea is the standard black devotion gameplan of surviving with hand disruption + removal until your demons and gray merchants do work.

If vs aggro - side in extra removal (pharka's cure + rachet bomb), side out erebos, and discard. This matchup is pretty poor for this deck, because mass removal is very limited here.

If vs control - side in the extra discard, especially slaughter games to get rid of win conditions (aetherling or revelation), side in cacklers to get more aggressive. Side out removal.

If vs midrange - This deck should destroy midrange, just get rid of threats that are hard to deal with with discard, then use removal on the rest.

Mirror - Slaughter games will shine here. If you use slaughter games on merchant, you pretty much screw their gameplan.
Another target for slaughter games is underwold connections, if they don't hit a connections on turn 3, you can cripple their draw engine, and then grind out a win.


Possible Edits:
------------------------------------------------
drop some lifebane zombies for nightvale spectre (better blocker, more devotion)
