Deck Description

Built to support Desecration Demon, burn the enemy, and win by force.

Unloved because I play this in standard FNM and I could use the deck tech. As much as I love playing it I am having the feeling it's not at it's full potential.

Making some changes to focus on getting a quicker start and diversifying the creature base. Also the inclusion of Sire Insanity? Going to play test some more before I decide.

How to Play

It's all about Desecration Demon.

Summon Stromkirk and Spike Jester as early as possible to support a Skirsdag + Lightning Mauler combo in turn four if you don't get a Desecration Demon in the opening hand.

If you're lucky enough to get out Desecration Demon in turn four it isn't hard to keep him untapped if you want. It also really hurts the enemy morale when you clear the board immediately after they sacrifice to tap the demon. Or fling him right after an enemy sacrifice.

Master of Cruelties can completely change the game when summoned. Cathedral of War will support his solo attack mechanic.

Caution is needed against control decks. But with the amount of aggressive spells available rushing to victory is an option.

Sideboard is built to be as balanced as possible. There is a response to nearly all the common annoyances I have encountered.

Deck discussion for [Standard] Old Desecration

Very underappreciated card, I don't see why more people don't use it. It's a pretty scary 4 drop.
