Deck discussion for Dark Sacrifices V4

Interesting idea is interesting. Although this just looks like an assembly of cards you own and wanted to mash in together to make a deck. This is a feeling I know well, though, I've done it too, in an experimental Innistrad deck; check it out, you might get an idea or too:

And this is my main Standart W/B Humans deck:

Overall, I think you need more focus in your build. The chance of drawing and playing some of the cards is low and this is fine for bombs like the Reaper, Ravenous (evil demon is evil :P) and even Fiend, if she can even be counted as a bomb (did you base your idea on the preconstructed deck with the same name? Though so ;)). However, one of your most powerful cards, and a one-drop at that, Champion of the Parish, is only a one-of. If I have to guess, I'd say it's probably because you only have one copy and decided to mash it in. I'd find at least one more.
I find Skirsdag Flayer quite expensive, but I guess he could be useful here, especially if you enter the late game with a lot of mana sitting idle, and he combos well with Thraben Doomsayer. Speaking of mana, I would add one more land; Vault of the Archangel is a great land from Dark Ascention that you can tap and pay 2WB to give all your creatures deathtouch AND lifelink :P Some more removal would be great, if you like the sacrifice theme like me, you will also like Bone Splinters: (B), Sacrifice a creature: Destroy target creature. Admittedly, it is better in a Zombie deck, but still.
The Village Cannibals are unique in that that they gain the counters from all Humans that die, not only yours. But if your playing environment does not have Human-heavy decks this is not so relevant. I'd play 2 more Unruly mob instead, to maximize the profit on the sacrifices.
Overall, I like this kind of ideas. As I said, you just need a little more focus, good luck :)

Your right I only own 1 Champion of the Parish. Ideally I would use 4 (is 4 the maximun you can use?). I've taken your input on the Unruly mob and switched them in for the selfless and eldar cathars.

I have multiple creature removal tactics. From tragic slip (also B) to skirsdag flayers and the key card from this deck Grave pact.

I like the idea with vault of archangel and might incorporate that.

I'd appreciate input into annother deck

Haha, oh wow, I never thought about Jar of Eyeballs. Haha. Well, the deck seems more consistent, definitely. I made some changes to my second B/W deck today and I thought that there is always place for improvement though, there always is, yeah... haha.

Yep, you can own up to 4 copies of Champion of the Parish, that's for sure. Oh, but how sweet he is, I adore the guy. Every morning I look in the mirror and see him on the other side. Lol.

Grave pact as the key card. Yeah, I can see that. How does it work out so far? I'm really curios to know. What I meant to say about the removal is that being more focused on a card and having more copies means dedication to the idea of it. Well, never mind, whatever you find suits you best is the best.

Oh, and adding another land to take them up to 24 would be nice. Wait, I think I already said that? Lol. With your mana curve, at least that many lands seems reasonable. Although if I were you, I would have a hard time deciding on something to take out, haha :) Merry sacrificial Christmas!

I was gonna add in Vault of the Archangel as my extra land. I just bought 2 on ebay by your suggestion. Probally remove doomed traveller in its place.

I don't understand what you mean by mana curve, does it determines how many lands you need?

Gravepact works awesome with this deck, I'd ideally have 4 in the deck but they are expensive and I don't think I'm gonna end up having more than 1 champion of the parish either due to cost. Besides I think the mobs and canibals will do a similar job.
