Mono-black spirit/phyrexian decklist:

this is a deck made from cards i already have, i didnt bother to go and buy cards for this, yet...
* = a card important for the win condition
~ = somewhat important for win condition

CREATURES:
blood seeker = 4
thief of hope = 2
~ phyrexian ghoul = 1
gibbering kami = 2
ashen skin zubera = 2

HOW THIS DECK IS SUPPOSED TO WORK:
there are many creatures in this deck that benifit from me sacrificing other creatures, or they do good stuff from sacrificing it. so, there are spirits in here with soulshift so that i can get spirits back in my hand to play and sacrifice again to those creatures (if i want).
this deck is mainly based around getting stuff into my graveyard to do crazy damage.

devouring greed i can sacrifice spirits when i play it to deal 2 damage and gain 2 life for each.
haunting misery i can use to remove any number of creatures from my graveyard for free to do that much damage.
living death i can use to get EVERYTHING in my graveyard into play.

give me your opinions on this please people. thanks!

If this weren't a mono black, i'll suggest the hana kami and souless revival thing... with Kodama's Reach of course...

I like this a lot. I don't have any suggestions because I've never really played black that much. This would be amazing against a deck that creates lots of tokens (Merfolk, ELVES!). It would seriously hinder those kinds of decks. But in general, it would suck to play against this deck anyway hahaha. Good work!

If you are sacrificing everything and playing with Iname, Death's Aspect, see my idea:

Devouring Greed is unnecessary.
