 There are 4 main phases that you will go through every time you run Devils:
-*Preperation

 *Counter Attacking

 The [[Devil Prince]] has a negative impact on your [[mana]] (the equivelant of [[Black Sabbath]] having a positive effect) and he sticks around for 3 days. How is a black going to survive for 3 days with the bonus from BS being neutralized?

 Here is a couple strats I've used:
-Mono-[[Zombies]] with [[flight]] as [[defense assignment]]. Not very costly and 500,000+ units is pretty easy to manage. The only opponents you'll need to worry about are reds with all fliers, or greens with big [[Treants]] that either get [[Carpet of Flying]] or [[Call Hurricane]] through your [[barriers]], or when you fail [[Flight]]. There are othere stacks that can break this, but those are the most consistant ones.

 I'm sure there are more strats you could use. The best way to find them is to play without using [[Black Sabbath]] for a while and find something that works for you.

Having more won't hurt either, but generally I like to have it somewhere around there.

 === Additional Information ===
-[[Population]]: The number of [[Devils]] you get is based on your [[population|pop]]. So if you cast when you are already low on [[population|pop]], you wont get much out of it. It can help if you use Wine of the Three Whips before hand, to boost up your [[population|pop]]. You lose it so fast that it's not really necessary, but definately wouldn't hurt. You might get an extra attack out of it, so give it a try sometime.

 [[Units]]: You need to have an army, and not one that's total crap. Even if you wipe out their topstack, you can still lose more power then they do. Don't worry if you oversummon pop suckers either. You will zero your [[population#Zero Pop|pop]], so a [[Population#Zero pop|pop spiral]] won't really matter at this point.
-[[Turns]]: Make sure that you will have full turns in 24 hours or less. Server: Leave about 35-40 [[turns]] left, Blitz will have full [[turns]] in less then 17 hours, so you can zero out on that server. You will want to leave some [[turns]] if you plan on making your [[Devils]] run right after casting.

 Bait: Sometimes it helps to generate more [[counters]] (like you need any more with black) if you set yourself up to look a little fat, or undersummoned. Not necessary in most situations, but still worth considering.
