Shadowborn Apostle is the key to the deck. Rune Scar Demon can get Conspiracy and all creatures in the deck are demons. Just saying for those who think I have to take out conspiracy.

When something comes in. Something has to come out. I say Ashnold Altar and Pherexian Alter.

I wouldnt, because you need to sacrifice a creature and you dont have any spare. The Apostles need to sacrifice themselves and your demons are more valuable than mana. But if you get a hand with demons and few apostles youre screwed. i would ditch the present artifacts (the staff is a terrible card and thrumming stone is cute but youre gonna miss more often than not) and maybe a few more left-field demons like Halo Hunter.

Cabal Coffers belongs in literally every Mono Black EDH deck ever. Take out a Swamp.

Pretty good, but as most starting EDH decks do, it lacks responses. You need to be able to respond to any kind of threat to your board state as soon as possible. There are a lot of things you can do this with, but the first thing you should work on is your manabase. Good news: It's a mono black deck so you only need to buy Coffers. Bad News: It's a mono black deck so you need Gauntlet of Power, Extraplanar Lens, and Caged Sun. Liliana of the Dark Realms is also a good investment. With all 4 of those each of your swamps tap for 7 EACH. Now think of that with even 5 swamps on the field and an Exsanguinate in your hand. (Which is an excellent card and I highly suggest it.) Game. Spine of Ish Sah is great control. Replace Doom Blade with Shriekmaw. Xathrix Gorgon can shut down a lot of combo creatures or even just creatures that are problems for you. Geth's Verdict is a nice spell. Black Sun's Zenith is a must and Mutilate can remove just about every creature on the board late game.

Some things I suggest taking out are:
Staff of the Death Magus - Ok card at its best. Not worth the mana you put into it.
Conspiracy - Having things in your library you can't pull with Apostle is pointless. Conspiracy makes them Demons, but if you never draw it, all those become dead cards.
Corrupt - There are cards that do this for less mana, and do it better.
Gravepurge - If you spend up all your Apostles you can bring them back with this, right? No. If you bring back any significant number of apostles with this you will never draw anything for quite some time so your opponents don't have to worry about what you may or may not draw.
Archdemon of Unx - You should be sacing all your apostles to themselves, not this. a 6/6 flier that lets you tutor is MUCH more useful than a 2/2.
Demonic Taskmaster - This. Demon. Sucks. So. Much.
Nightmare - It gets real big, but there are better things to put in the deck than this.
Pathrazer - A fearsome creature if you can get it off but you can't pull it with Apostles so it's space better taken by something else.

I like the addition of Conspiracy and Phyrexian Altar so you can add cards other then just demons to find like Darksteel Colossus. Also you have ways to sacfice it incase he gets passified or something which is nice so you can find and replay him. This is my EDH version of shadowborn apostle if you which to look at it.
