Black Oath Budget EDH

by patetopia on 16 August 2015

Main Deck (99 cards)

Sideboard (1 card)

Planeswalkers (1)

Submit a list of cards below to bulk import them all into your sideboard. Post one card per line using a format like "4x Birds of Paradise" or "1 Blaze", you can even enter just the card name by itself like "Wrath of God" for single cards.


Deck Description

This is my first attempt at any kind of demon deck. I'm not use to playing decks with such high mana cost so I'm a little nervous about it. Any suggestions? I would like to keep this at around $70.

Deck discussion for Black Oath Budget EDH

I'll keep your budget in mind with my suggestions.

40 lands is probably more than you need for a mono-colored deck. You could shave down to 38 easily. I run 36 myself in monoblack.

You need more draw. Kothophed, Soul Hoarder is worth the risk imo. Promise of Power is great draw AND it makes a demon so it's on theme. Damnable Pact can do good work, and I've used it as a finisher before.

Hero's Downfall will probably be a dollar card once it rotates next month, but even now it's only three. I'd replace Doomblade with it, it's so much more versatile for one more mana.

I'd run Murder over Flesh to Dust.

Whip of Erebos is gonna gain a lot more life than Staff of the Death Magus, and it has added utility.
