Another attempt at a B deck, this time with a focus on Devotion & Lifegain, using these to thwart our opponents and secure a smooth victory. Trading Life for cards, it uses that resource in order to draw into our game winners, namely Gray Merchant of Asphodel & Exsanguinate.
If you're going to field 4x Potence then abuse it. Sickening Shoal, Snuff Out, Contagion, Soul Spike, you need some form of free removal in that list. Why pitch a ton of cards for absolutely no reason?
My favorite 1 drop in this style of deck is Dark Ritual. I want to see one in my opening hand every game without fail. I would blindly jam 4 and never look back.
4x Nykthos is excessive. The card is fine but there's a limit to its relevance outside of Green decks filled with mana dorks and such.
Thank you all for your suggestions and critiques. I'll do some more play testing, try out some different combination of cards and see what will work best. It's been fun to design a monoblack deck, something I don't usually go for. Exsanguinate is a raw beast in multiplayer - very powerful.
Cheers!

Won't make friends.
Might need a sweeper or two just to be sure.
My meta: 3 or 4 player free for all, anything goes but boring games or broken decks cause a vote to end that game.
Vampire Hexmage is a weak 4-of. It's a good blocker on turn 2 but that's it. I would shave that number down to 2 tops and consider things like Thrull Parasite, Bloodchief Ascension, Nantuko Shade, anything that isn't just a 2/1 First Striker for 2.
