Deck Description

I found archfiend of ifnir and really took interest in it. And then I found that I could build a standard legal budget deck with it.
I thought that forgotten creation was really good with it but the main point is to use cycling to kill all his creatures while also using nest of scarabs to get out a bunch of tokens.
I also found that nest of scarabs is really good with archfiend as well.

Here's the Finished version. Hope you guys like it.
All comments and suggestions are welcome.

How to Play

This deck is mostly just for fun so feel free to mess around with it in your own way.
It isn't very competitive.
I'll be testing it shortly.

Looks good, I'm thinking of making a similar deck of my own! Thoughts on abandoned sarcophagus? Let me know how play testing goes

that's not a bad idea at all. to put in abandoned sarcophagus. it would benefit. but what would I take out for it? that's the problem. maybe take out a few call the bloodlines?

Additionally I feel like 4x of nest of scarabs relies too heavily on ifnir or else they are a dead draw, I'd mainboard the ruthless snipers and perhaps add in a negate to keep ifnir alive

well the deck is based on ifnir so that's why I have nest of scarabs in there. and plus If I put in ruthless sniper I have to pay 1 mana every time for anything to happen. plus nest of scarabs is the main win condition.

the other problem is I mostly discard because of forgotten creation rather than cycle so all the cards I discard are exiled.

Tolarian Winds is not Standard legal, and neither is a 16 card sideboard :/

that's why tolarian winds is in the sideboard. I swap it out for something else in the deck when the deck isn't standard anymore.
and why would a 16 card sideboard not be standard legal? I've never heard that before.
