Deck Description

simple concept, red/white sacrifice deck with pious evangel as the kill card. bolstered by barrage of expendables. and if Greater Gargadon somehow comes down, it is pretty powerful as well.

can also be made modern legal by swapping renounce for rebuff the wicked.

Comments and suggestions are always welcome.

budget version swaps arid mesa for evolving wilds or terramorphic expanse, and swap Vexing Devil for furnace Scamp or goblin arsonists.

How to Play

pious evangel is the kill card here supported by barrage of the expendables and renounce.

turn 1 doomed traveler
turn 2 renounce
turn 3 pious evangel
turn 4 sacrifice doomed traveler to pious evangel to flip it. then play anything... like, at all.

Personally I'm no big friend of decks that destroy a higher legality for one card. You might want to take this to a local tournament one day and can't because of this one card. There are some option which you could replace Renounce with:
Bubbling Cauldron ...only 1 sacrifice per turn but stronger lifegain
Culling Dais ...no immediate effect but carddraw when needed
Phyrexian Soulgorger ...you get a strong creature that lets you sacrifice more and more creatures as longer the game goes on
Spawning Pit ...can create a 2/2 token for 2 sacrificed creatures

Spark Elemental could be replaced with the Hellspark Elemental in the sideboard. It does the same and even costs one more to play but you have the option to unearth it from your graveyard and use it again for the same cost.

Hissing Iguanar or Rage Thrower (high cmc) could be a good backup for Pious Evangel. Another, very radical, option would be to go from W/R to B/R as black offers some real interesting cards in this area.

I think I found a suitable replacement for renounce in greater gargadon, though it give me no life, it also is harder to deal with because it isn't on the board, but allows me to sacrifice for free.

And yes I know I could easily make this B/R but I want to go the unusual route and so white sacrifice. I mostly play casual so format isn't too much of an issue normally but you are right. If I want to play modern with this renounce has to go. And I think greater gargadon might be faster anyways.


Also... Thank you for the feedback.

I think the sacrifice outlet of my choice would be Spawning Pit. You can sacrifice as many as you need/ want and pay later to get tokens out of it. But Greater Gargadon is also a great choice, as it's a good backup plan when Pious Evangel doesn't work out and it can be really unpredictable for your opponent when you will cast it.

Another thing that just came into my mind would be the new Embalm mechanic:
Anointer Priest ...provides you with a solid defender and you gain 1 life whenever a token enters the battlefield on your side
Sacred Cat ...1/1 lifelink for {W} that can be re-used for {W}
