Here's a kind of fun darkness deck I've been running on and off in AI3, PVP1, and Bronze Arena.  As a player farming for rares, I'm concerned more with win rate than TTW, so I decided to pack a LOT of control, a mix of QC with the Devourers, CC with Drain Life, and PC with Steal (optionally stealing Pillars for QC if it's a good opportunity).  This deck might be a little large in terms of cards, but almost every card I draw I'm happy to see in my hand, so I'm not sure how much I should trim it.  Plus, having more than 35 cards, I occasionally get into prolonged control struggles and deck out Arena decks, so having at least 36 cards is nice (unless this is just me being a noob, which is quite possible too).

Hover over cards for details, click for permalink

The QP's are so that I can use actives on whatever cards I steal (Owl's Eye being a personal favorite).

This deck reminds me of the first mono darkness deck I've ever build.
I think QP + Parasite is still useless. And 6 steals are also a bit too much.

The QP is more for Stolen permanents like Owl's Eye, Eternity, Trident, Mindgate, Hourglass, and so on than for Parasite.  Do you think I should take both them and the parasite out or just the parasite?  So maybe -1 parasite -1 steal?

3 QP looks useless/too slow for me.
Rather steal one of his pillars/pends.

Remove QP and Parasite. Let me know if it works better.
How about your dmg? Are 4 Dragons enough or do you lack on dmg?
