Vampire Hexmaster + dark depths

[pcccp]

This morning i found a new card in the Zendikar Spoiler.

---
Vampire Hexmage BB
Creature - Vampire Shaman
First strike
Sacrifice Vampire Hexmage: Remove all counters from target permanent.
#114/249 2/1
---

I would love to build a deck around him with dark depths.

---
Dark Depths
Legendary Snow Land
Dark Depths enters the battlefield with ten ice counters on it.
{3}: Remove an ice counter from Dark Depths.
When Dark Depths has no ice counters on it, sacrifice it. If you do, put an indestructible legendary 20/20 black Avatar creature token with flying named Marit Lage onto the battlefield.
---

The Deck should be Mono Black with a lot of Urborg, Tomb of Y. because it makes a Turn 2 20/20 Token possible and without it dark depth sucks as hell.

Turn1: Urborg, Duress/Thoughtseize for Stifle/StoP,FoW
Turn2: Dark Depths, Vampire Hexmage, sac for token

The Deck should although contain Aether Vial to sneak in Hexmage @ end of turn.

Maybe you guys can help brainstorm a little bit. Hexmages ability may be good for other actions too. (removing counters from jitte or aether vial)

EDIT:
I am playing B.C´s Rat Pack a lot with some success. Maybe it could be a first shell to put these two cards into. Playing Vampire Hexmage with Balthor is good, because you can reanimate him and use his ability multiple times.
