Comments would be appreciated.

You know, if you're going to go with a single-color defense at all, black is probably the worst choice, since 50% of decks nowadays use Philistines (and many others use Greeks or Sadducees). I would recommend not going with a single-color defense at all, because whenever you go against that color defense, you will be screwed. Go with the typical Uzzah, Trembling Demon, Women as Snares, Sabbath Breaker type splash defense if you are looking for success.

You have 8 black EC's and 5 grey ones. I assumed you would know what I meant. My mistake.

why so big?

If I were you, I would try to do everything in your power to get this down to 56 - 50 if possible. Like I said before, I would trash your defense and try a typical splash defense with the suicide & stalling characters, so that you won't have a problem with your opponent's defense riding on your characters.

You don't begin - you just do it. Here, I'll help you:

Just fill out the rest.

Torment and Holy of Holies feel like they would fit quite well with the whole auto-block theme you have going on. Seven Sons of Sceva might not be a bad idea either, get one more use out of T-Demon

I'm not sure why you feel you have to use Sadducees...
