Main Deck (60 cards)

Sideboard (0 cards)

No sideboard found.

The owner of this deck hasn't added a sideboard, they probably should...

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 deck survives through chump blockers/removals and skirsdag demon tokens until I can get the fatties out, either with ogre/deathrender or until I can hardcast (early if I have eldrazi tokens). Any feedback is appreciated

*edited: added abyssal persecutor for some oomph, and changed viscera seer to thoughtpicker witch for some opponent deck control.

Unlike most decks that leach off of other people's popularity, this one has some hope!

however, you did ask for help, so... here it is. I am going to be exceptionally critical, so don't cry or anything.

Skirsdag High Priest will not do anything in this deck. To get his ability to work, you need three untapped creatures (one being the High Priest himself). It's like Captivating Vampire's mind control ability. Sure, you can take control of a creature, but you need to tap 5 creatures... and they must be vampires.

The High Priest is similar: not only will getting three untapped creatures be difficult, but you also need something to die beforehand. Sure, you can say that sacrificing Reassembling Skeleton to Viscera Seer will help you in that, but in truth, you'll be more thankful to have a playset of Doom Blade rather than the High Priest.

Secondly, Demon of Death's Gate can not be summoned by sacrificing 1 Reassembling Skeleton, and the bringing it back, and the sacrificing it, then bringing it back, and then sacrificing it again. It's not like there's a counter of how many creatures you've sacrificed, like your mana pool. You need three creatures at one moment to pay for it.

Thirdly, focus on something. Either make your deck a weenie sacrifice deck, or a big-demon deck.

If you go with the weenie deck, get Bloodghast's, Bloodthrone Vampire's, and Blade of the Bloodchief's.
If you go with the big-demon deck, get Quicksilver Amulet, or splash in Green and use Elvish Piper.

Either way, you'll have a better time winning with either deck.

Thank you so much for your feedback! I've edited according to some of your suggestions. Am not able to acquire quicksilver amulet as yet so i've run more deathrender and bloodspeaker. Also added more removals. I wanted to keep this black so i've added palladium myr as my ramp.

Also, im not sure about the bloodgift demon. card advantage is very attractive but at 5 cmc i may have better options. Again, any suggestions are welcome :)
