This is my latest mono black PDH. I felt that using Crypt Rats as the general was making the game unfun for everyone. I saw the Corpse Harvester deck posted a few weeks ago which seems strong, but I don't want every game to be about tutoring for the Gray Merchant. My play group seems to not mind using common generals so I might just try putting Gray Merchant of Asphodel in the command zone a couple times to find out how bad that is. At least with the current general, if I've managed to flip Nighteyes the Desecrator, and draw the Merchant, and have a sac outlet, and have a bunch of mana, I would enjoy the win.
As far as card choices, I like more defensive creatures and less spot removal. I'm mostly worried about surviving until the late game and increasing my devotion count. There's a bit more graveyard hate than usual to make it easier to flip my general and three enchantments to give it regeneration. I don't usually play Expedition Map in PDH, but here I want a tutor for Bojuka Bog, and I can always cantrip it for 4-5 mana by grabbing a cycle land. There are a few cards I'm not sure about so if there are any great ones I missed let me know. Thanks.
