This deck was inspired by the Shadowborn Apostle card that i ran across in some old cards at the house. Wanted to see if I could make a decent deck for casual play.
So the process in which you hope to play cards would be:------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------? On your first draw hopefully you have a few [[Doom Blade]]'s or [[Diabolic Edict]] in hand to take out creatures as they become a problem. Mainly you want at least 3 lands and some [[Shadowborn Apostles]]'s to start getting them out early.? After you have built your mana and Apostles up from a few rounds you hopefully already have a [[Thrumming Stone]] to play. If not just keep trying to hold back creatures with instants or block with your Apostles. Also if you got opportunities to dink them while they are open you might as well take it.? Once you get your first 6 on the board you would want your [[Shirei, Shizo's Caretaker]] out already but if not whatever. Time to sacrifice them to dig for [[Master of Cruelties]]. You want to use Abnormal Endurance on him when you attack in case he get blocked or killed. I also thought about adding skulk as an enchantment for him but meh.? If you hit them with MoC then you could bring out [[Scourge of the Skyclaves]] just to be a douche. Or if you would rather you could just throw in any black direct damage or lose life card as a replacement and take them out. I just thought this way would be neater.

Toss in 3 Thrumming stone and you've got a heck of a deck. Edit for clarity: Thrumming stone stacks with itself. Each card played for free by Thrumming stone let's you choose to do it again.

Maybe " sign in blood " instead of consume spirit. Little bit of card draw and then if you get them down to one life you can assign " sign in blood " on them and burn them out.
There's two ways to play a Shadowborn Apostle deck: Fetch Demons or lots of Apostles. Fetch Demon suggestions:The following are good as they have a way to be cheaper to cast from hand:> Demon of Death's Gate: Alternative cost of paying 6 life and sacrificing 3 black creatures to cast this 9/9 Flying Trampler as early as turn 2.> Tombstalker: After sacrificing some Apostles to fetch a different Demon, you can then Delve them to play this 5/5 flyer. These are other interesting Demons I've come across:> Lord of the Void: Has a superior "mill" effect that can bet you free creatures. > Ravenous Demon / Archdemon of Greed: The Apostles are human, which works with both sides of this Demon's abilities. Swarm of Apostles suggestions:> Thrumming Stone: Suggested above. In a dedicated Apostle deck, you could drop all your Apostles in one turn. > Door of Destinies: Call Human or Cleric and each Apostle you cast after the Door will boost all your Apostles.> Coat of Arms: Similar to Door of Destinies, but also gives the bonus to your opponents. > Obelisk of Urd: {6} convokable artifact that gives +2/+2 to all your Humans / Clerics. > Immortal Servitude: For {1}{W/B}{W/B}{W/B} you can return all your Apostles from the graveyard to the battlefield. And just an interesting nondemon, nonhuman that works with the Apostles:> Shirei, Shizo's Caretaker: This legendary Spirit returns any Apostles you sacrificed back to the battlefield at the end of the turn. Does not work with the power and toughness boosting artifacts suggested above.
But the biggest problem with any Shadowborn Apostle / Relentless Rats deck is that the more non-Apostle / non-Rat cards you put in, the less space you have for the Apostles / Rats.
Thank y'all for the suggestions, i made some updates it definitely jumped the price up there. But i do like the idea of the thrumming stone and the spirit that brings the apostles right back out. I agree the sign in blood is a cheap card but i just put that one in there because i like being able to damage and heal with spent mana. Plus thought i could use it in a pinch to heal.
