Deck Description

trying to gain life? i don't think so! quickly put your opponent to his doom and getting out master of cruelties and finish him with a vexing devil! or anything for that matter! making his life total one! HELL YES

How to Play

start out with low mana costing creatures and spells, evolve into the gods and the god's accessories, then throw down some enchantments like rain of gore to make sure they won't be able to gain life! they will be drained of life in a matter of a couple turns!

Deck discussion for Underworld Destruction

I believe Skeletal Grimace, Rain of Gore, and Spiteful Shadows can be cut for Skullcrack, more terminate, and more dreadbore. Skeletal Grimace doesn't do much for you when you only have 13 creatures (except activate devotion), Rain of Gore only matters when opponents are gaining life (from, say, scavenging ooze), and there is better removal than spiteful shadows (though, they all still activate devotion....). Since you're running gods, I'd also suggest goblin guide over vexing devil if you can afford him.

i need rain of gore to guarantee that they won't gain more life, and i want to keep master of cruelties alive with skeletal grimace.

Some of the biggest removal in modern is path to exile, lighting bolt, and abrupt decay. He already dodges bolt, and can't dodge the others. If you instead had spells that killed potential blockers, you could make it so that you can still push through just by killing them; plus, having removal in hand is a lower opportunity cost than having grimace in hand.

What cards do you have to worry about your opponents gaining life with? Scavenging ooze? You already have viper's kiss mainboard. Are you worried about lifelink? If so, wouldn't it be better to just have removal, allowing yourself to deal with both a potential blocker to master of cruelties and being able to keep them from gaining life. Are you worried about vague enchantments and artifacts that are rarely played? Just include answers in your sideboard.

Then again, the devotion is nice. But wouldn't there be other cards that aid with devotion and have a less of a chance at being dead cards in your hand?

Funeral Charm is also very nice with master of cruelties and has a lot of utility, though it has less power than most other cards.

I like this deck a lot, but I think that you need more removal and less burn. I know that burn can hit your opponent, but this isn't a burn deck. You need more late-game strategy. I'd definitely remove skull crack, 1 or 2 Rakdos, switch the temples for shock lands, Whip of Erebos works against you, (You definitely won't want it out with rain of gore, so drop one of them.), take out a spiteful shadows, maybe switch it with Paralyze, definitely switch rescue from the underworld with at least two torrent of souls, skeletal grimace is almost useless compared to what you could have in modern, throw in a couple lightning greaves, swap rain of gore with erebos, spite of mogis won't be that good in this deck, better for burn decks, Take out viper's kiss, maybe swap it for more torrent of souls, drop a hammer of purphuros for the lightning greaves that I mentioned earlier, but keep four lightning bolts handy. Sorry if you didn't want advice. I love the concept. Decks like this are great! :)

Hey, Adamantian. I was the one who suggested skullcrack over rain of gore. But I totally agree with you, so it's all cool :) :P

Since you seem to love giving constructive feedback (get it? You're giving feedback for constructed decks in addition to feedback that helps people so that it's a double entendre of sorts... sort of), would you mind critiquing a deck of mine? This would benefit me, and probably not you (unless you want to benefit from it, in which case, all you have to do is tell yourself that you do and you won't know otherwise).

Anyhow, I crave critique so that I may be a boss, but I'm not a boss right now... so... maybe it doesn't wrok out that way.

I hope I didn't confuse anyone, since that's never my purpose. I hope you have a nice day and win some respect for someone, including yourself. Now, to stop boring you with my plebeian syntax; so, shall I never rambling stop, and thank you and goodbye tell.
