Use the Thrumming Stone and the mana ramp to get out as many Apostle as you can really fast. Sacrifice them to get your best Demons out, and then return the Apostle to the battlefiend with Immortal Servitude.

I hope I have enlightened you with this explanation.

It's all about getting the apostles out as fast as you can because you are going to be taking maximum damage in the meantime since your opponent knows you won't chump block with them. The mana ramp comes from dark ritual and basal thrull. Once you get a thrumming stone out followed by a shadowborn it should be game over.

But you still got to get a thrumming stone out there. That's like a turn five and eats up all your mana. Need a way to get the stone out faster.

turn 1 with 3 dark rituals... my personal favorite method of quick ramping is a mixture of Gemstone caverns lotus petals and dark rituals. have the cavern. turn 1 land drop plus a lotus petal and a ritual in hand and you have 3 definite black mana plus what ever your lands produce. consistently it'll produce about 3 mana turn 1 given thats your strategy

I don't know, I've never been that lucky in my draws. But that's just me.
