It's tough cutting it flavor wise, but its either him or Reaper from the Abyss and Reaper is probably better. The other addition to the deck from this set is Archfiend of Depravity, which will replace Shadowborn Demon. Going to try out Outpost Siege in its place, which is another "leaves the battlefield" win condition, which can also be a form of card advantage when you need it to be. Witchbane Orb was in here as graveyard hate, but it doesn't protect against everything, and isn't completely necessary, so going to cut it. Will swap these out and see how Shirei performs. Although Gleancrawler can be a beater, I have demons for that, it can also bring back creatures other than Apostles, but they don't get sacrificed as often. Notes: Shirei, Shizo's Caretaker costs 1 less, brings Apostles straight back to play, and works at the end of an opponent's turn too. Not having access to a Shadowborn to cast when you have Bloodbond March in play can be particularly annoying. Notes: Another good suggestion by Decimator1. Grave Sifter - Can get all Shadowborns back, but being symmetrical sucks. Skirsdag High Priest - Hadn't considered this before, can be used to make a bunch of 5/5 Demons, but is probably too slow?įresh Meat - I have better options available to me for "when a creature dies" abilities. Promise of Power - Card draw, and makes a Demon token, seems good. Ob Nixilis of the Black Oath - +2 isn't too relevant, -2 makes a Demon so is on theme, the -8 seems amazing, but it's unlikely that he'll ever reach his ultimate unless the board is already locked down. Malicious Affliction - Excellent removal spell, triggering Morbid isn't too hard in this deck. Other considerations from the set included:ĭemon of Wailing Agonies - Another demon target that can be removal, however triggering Lieutenant isn't a guarantee, and there's better demons out there. Myriad Landscape is also a welcome addition to the deck. Overseer of the Damned is another sweet Demon target, that kills something when it ETBs, and it also gives me a 2/2 Zombie every time I make opponents sacrifice something, or simply kill one of their creatures. I should probably be running both, but until I can find a spot for both, Library can go in.Įlixir of Immortality can be good at times, but its mostly just win-more. Also helps getting 6 Apostles into play quicker by drawing them quicker. Probably a good change because Top can't do much about the 3 Apostles or 3 lands on top of your deck, whereas Library can. Notes: Change suggested to me in Post #32. Both Reaper from the Abyss & Shadowborn Demon are better removal targets imo.Ĭranial Archive: Both graveyard hate, as well as protection for my own yard.īeast Within: Another removal spell that really needs to find its way into the deck. Necropolis Fiend: A demon from KTK, but I don't think it warrants an inclusion. I've wanted to add some good removal in the deck for a while and will give this open spot to Chaos Warp. Fecundity might go in again at some point though, if I find a spot for it.ĭecided to cut Bloodgift Demon as I think its too slow, and not really the demon I generally want to search for. Grim Haruspex only lets me draw cards, unlike Fecundity which effects each player, whereas Grim Haruspex doesn't trigger when a token dies, and Fecundity does, so they both have their pros and cons. I'm going to move Fecundity to the Maybeboard for now and try out Grim Haruspex in its spot, which I think should be pretty good in the deck. Slight change to manabase to include to fetches.Ĭut Harmonize to make room for Necropotence to increase the draw power of the deck. Other considerations for this update included Indulgent Tormentor, Shirei, Shizo's Caretaker, Chaos Warp and Beast Within - the last two I do want to find spaces for. In those places I have decided to try out Sire of Insanity which seems like a great demon target, alongside the new Ob Nixilis, Unshackled which gets better when you can cheat it into play at instant speed - plus it growing larger when other creatures die which is quite useful in this deck. Notes: M15 Update! Aluren hasn't been too great since I don't run Recycle/ Null Profusion anymore and I'm not sure I need Warstorm Surge as I already have Pandemonium/ Purphoros, God of the Forge among other win cons.
