The new Pacts from Future Sight looked very cool to add to a deck with Nightly Disease: for 4 mana you can tutor for one of them, without any counters on the enchantment, and play it immediately!
This is the deck I played:
The tutoring
As said, the pacts have a cmc of 0 so you can always search for them and play a surprise blocker or removal. This makes it worth to pay all that mana for Night Dealings. Breath of Daarigaz has a cmc of 2 so is also easy to search for. And when you play it kickered it garantuees you have enough counters on Night Dealings . Maga needs only 3 counters and avoids any damage prevention your opponent may have.
The beating
-Slith Bloodletter is an early defender that can get bigger on occations. With enough mana you can play Breath of Daarigaz and regenerate it. I'm the only one playing this creature in our group. Guess I'm the only fan...
-Pact of Titan is a great suprise blocker or attacker (play it at the end of turn of your opponent).
-Korlash is a true beatstick. With Night Dealings you can search for more copies and use the Grandeur ability that requires no additional mana. That gives you even more mana to search nice stuff and pay your upkeep triggers (you don't want to lose the game, do ya?).
-Maga and Reiver Demon let you make good use of all that mana!
The only creature I consider dropping is Pyre Zombie. It's a recursive thread, but I dropped some mountains, so 2 red mana might be too hard to obtain regularly. Do you have any suggestions what may be interesting creature to replace these 2?

Korlash was a last minute change and they replaced 4 Sedge Trolls. I wanted to add some toolbox utility, but searching multiple Korlashes for mana acceleration also seemed very nice. The deck certainly needs mana.Deep Im-Pact
