Deck Description

This is a deck I have been using for a long time and as you can see is still incomplete (needs 1 champion 1 silverblade and 4 isloated chapels ) any advice otherwise is welcome (im never shure about mana)

How to Play

I usually end up pounding people to a pulp with 5/5 demons spawned by the High Priest's or 9/9 Archdemon of greed the idea is to give the 9/9 double strike so it becomes total carnage (even more than it already is) also you can win early game with swarms of 1/1 humans and a big Champion

Deck discussion for Demon Worshipers

Similar to my previos concept for my standart B/W Humans. There I still had all 3 Ravenous Demons, 2 Increasing Devotion and 4 Bone Splinters, just like you. In casual comboing the first two meant certain death for the opponent. In my FNM's meta though things are very different, either the game is increadibly fast and aggro can usually win by turn 4; or control is so damn annoying that they drag the game forever, counter all my spelss etc.; or midrage is so pumped with Thragtusk (I hate even the name of it, grrr :D) and Angel of Serenity and Griselbrand that I have lots of trouble against them. I had the option to increase my control elements or try and be more aggro. I went the second route, but with more control options in sideboard. I am still tweaking it, though, there is still a lot of work to be done.
Anyway, let's talk about your build. First of all, let's talk about lands. Everything starts with the lands, no matter how lame they can be. You could increase your land count to 24 and still be happy-go-lucky with this mana curve - or at least I think so. Also, as you say, you need dual lands; I am not sure whether Godless Shrine will be a good addition for you when Gatecrash comes out due to the -2 life shock or enters tapped condition. Do you have trouble with aggro often? Anyway, I'd prefer to go with it rather then without it. It is very good that you have Cavern of Souls, I can't afford to get any so I often have trouble getting my creatures countered. Bleh.
if you are using Cathedral Sanctifier to put off aggro and pump Champion, you need more copies, a one-of does not need to be here (it's not a bomb). Probably you will switch it with the last CotP when you get it.
What's more, you have way too many cards competing for the 3-drop slot. Decide what to concentrate on, Doomsayers or Silverblades (as the SBP really shines when paired with Ravenous)? This is a choice that would be tough for me to make though, haha. The single Fiend Hunter is also like stranded on an uninhibited island, although the card is a great tempo buyer. Is this what you will substitute for a second Silverblade Paladin? As for Village Cannibals, they are rarely relevant any more as your opponents will be playing Humans less often now; overall, the card is just not very good, even though it has amazing flavor. You could just remove it from the sideboard and be done with it. Instead you could use Unruly Mob, it costs (1W), it feeds off -all- -your- creatures that die instead, also helps you get some mileage out of Bone Splinters, which is otherwise often a rather bad trade (without many tokens to sacrifice).
Please keep in mind that Skirsdag High Priest needs you to have a board to be able to get your demons out reliably. So for this reason you need to ensure that either you can quickly get him and at least 2 more creatures on the board by turn 3 AND have something die, or play more tempo-control to gain time. There are many things to consider here; board wipes, burn, etc.
Finally, take a look at my own demon-toting decks:

I keep working on them as they are yet unfinished, unrefined and blah-blah; however, I hope you come by to get some ideas, like them and comment to give me ideas as well. I hope I was helpful, have fun and good luck :)
