Deck discussion for Crateresque Inferno..

Hi mate thanks for the comments on my golem deck I have replied and hope you can leave further thoughts, anyway I thought I'd check your decks and I'm glad I did I'm now a follower, and I really like this deck, 1stly because its a good build but also because demons are the coolest damn thing, who wants angels or elfs or damn cats when you can have demons and hellfire lol, demons are not like ghosts who are people passing over but are creatures who's pure existance is to cause harm, what could be cooler !, lmao geeky fan rant over, but seriously demons are fast powerfull and often have a downside to manage is recompsence so are a fun build I have long wanted an entire demon deck, but after a few attempts agree how hard it is to pull off, I really like how you have gone about it here its a good solid way of making them work, I do fear that as you need smaller creatures in the grave to reduce the cost of the tombstalkers that you don't have enough in here to effectivly power them, although I accept you have other ways of getting them into play such as animate dead following an entomb ect, and really like that aspect to the deck, reassembling skellington would be another early low cost creature to get on the board and like the bloodghasts you can fetch them back, I'd consider running some, and also skullclamps as a way of getting them into the graveyard and getting you cards as well you could also do this with the bloodghasts you'll be getting cards as well negating the need for crucible of worlds as you'll draw land and so get the bloodghasts back, in fact maybe consider demons of death gate over the tombstalkers as you can get back the creatures you sac to em, just ideas mate, like I say I really like so much of this deck, all very cool well done. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If it causes no offence I may post a demon deck of my own following some of my thoughts above, doubt it will be as good as this though well done again

Alternativly, bloodthrone vampire would be a good early creature to dump in the graveyard as you can always reanimate it or cast it if in hand to deal with any demons that may become tapped and deal damage to you or stop you from winning the game they go well in my fast black deck containing abyssal persecutors

no problem what about the new guy in 12th rune-scarred demon , hes a 6/6 for six no down side you can reaninate him go 2 fetch another reanimate with him then use that to reanimate another demon (if you run him i'd consider the extra 2 buried alive)

Thats not a bad idea! its its like a demonic tutor that costs me 3 at most the way i'd play it! why do you say add buried alives?

exactly !, well i think if you run the rune-scarred demons then you want to reanimate them, as youve just stated only costs you three,and if you use it to fetch another reanimate to repeate the process then you need to have another demon waiting in the graveyard, this puts a bit more of a requirment on the deck to put more cards into the graveyard so hence the extra buried alives

ive just pulled off a few sample hands and your land looks tight, now i know you can reanimate early for a big creature and hit fast but its all a bit tight you need all the right cards early a few more lands would give you breathing space with the lakes of the dead and allow you to saftley bring the bloodghasts back if you get into trouble with the xathrids, i personaly would drop tainted strike i think the decks fast enough without trying for the short kill with infect also you gotta be doing 10 in one go, with one creature or you need x 2 tainted strike throughout the game

just a thought i really love this deck and think its looking very good right now.

i like it land seems to come out a little better now, and it does what it says on the tin, casts big demons fast, Umezawa's Jitte, i presume its just for some life back !, i think x 1 is acceptable as you now have the tutoring of the Rune-Scarred Demon, same with the cruicible of worlds, the deck is tight now in terms of if you put anything in what would you take out, that means its getting there, build it and play it i say, looks good to me,
personaly i think the Umezawa's Jitte, is not the best and would also run the risk of dropping the cruicble of worlds, i know there saftey cards but only x 1 of each they will rarley come out and so the deck can clearly function without them, i know its a risk running without them it basically makes the game a race, you may take some damage reanimating, but your aim is to do more to them in responce fast, i think loosing these two in favour of a better balance would let the deck flow on more occassions, i'd add just 1 more swamp and, i more buried alive, in saying all this as discussed the rune-demons let you tutor cards so they may come out more than you think, so its just prefernce really id play test it, but these are the combination of cards i would switch in and out to see how it plays with and without, but yes stirling effort, ive liked it from the begining it looks more focused now well done.

I dunno, I think there's a couple of better Demons out there for you to use to be honest. I might be biased, but Seizan is a force to be reckoned with...and my buddy's deck uses both Seizan and Ob Nixilis =/

Tomb Stalker + DoDG + Abyssal all play remarkably well together. And as Sure said, Abyssal + Rites of Consumption are a deadly combo.

After that, I'd fill with Bloodghast and other 1 or 2 cost creatures as sac fodder for DoDG and delve fodder for Tomb Stalker. Basal Thrull and Bloodpet are also worth a look over for mana ramp, more sac fodder, and more delve fodder.

I was thinking about throwing together a deck pretty much along those lines.

that was my original thought as well, but then i made it reanimate based and realized it wasn't very tribalish so i'm changing it up=P

I like the update. Looks pretty sick, and you used my idea for Blood Pet and Basal Thrull too :D

demon's. one of my favorite old tribes. I don't know why but I like to lump in horror's with demons, but thats just me.
Always loved seizan and ob nixilis, together with big brother abyssal.
I see that you are using Lake's, If lakes then you gotta have Urborg's.. I consider it a must for allowance to let the lake sac itself.
I currently have a deck that uses a similar design, centered around demon's with horror's and friends mixed in. here is just a list of some cards I love seeing in my black decks.
Bitterblossom, Reassembling Skeleton, Devouring Strossus, Hellfire, Promise of Power, Diabolic Intent, Culling the Weak, Death Cloud, Recurring Nightmare and my favorite Yawgmoth's Bargain. But since your running Lake's instead of Coffers I wouldnt recommend Death Cloud (another fav.)
To add some extra umph with Ob nixilis you can add in Korlash to wreck face.

oooh and don't forget Victimize...... great with Grave Titan.

bloodspeaker and deathrender are both great cards but i fear they are too slow! especially bloodspeaker, but they are great together!

You should run reanimate, hellcarver demon, lake of the dead and some tutors and if possible final punishment these cards work well for a demon deck and hellcarver is an amazing example, for if you wanted to run some multicolored demons such as radkos the defiler or prince of thralls he works wonderfully
