Deck Description

A steal and sacrifice deck I currently own and am trying to get some feedback on.

Let me know what you think should be added/removed to make this deck better. Also, what weaknesses do you see this deck having.

Update - 1/30/14
Took out the Zealot Conscripts
Removed: 1 Charmbreaker Devils
Removed: 1 Act of Treason

Added: 2 Unhallowed Pact - Allows me to use my opponents creature against them TWICE
Added: 2 Skirsdag High Priest - Add 5/5 Demons after sacrificing a creature

How to Play

1. Steal a creature using Traitorous Blood, Act of Treason, ect.
2. Attack them with their own creature
3. Use Fling or Skirsdag Cultist's ability for direct damage to an opponent OR Use Disciple of Griselbrand's ability to gain life OR Destroy both the stolen creature and another of their creatures with Bone Splinters
5. Use Skirsdag High Priest's ability to summon a 5/5 demon
4. Rinse and repeat

Make sure to have at least 1 Charmbreaker Devil on the battlefield. They will help give you an unlimited supply of spells.

Hm. I know its not a theft, but mugging? It will keep some of the blockers down for you, so you can keep hammering

Mugging is a great card, but what cards would you replace to added them?

You could add Skirsdag High Priest to get even more use out of sacrificed creatures. Also Slaughter Games for the sideboard instead of the many anti-graveyard cards.

Thank you for pointing that card out to me! I have replaced a few of the sideboard cards with Slaughter Games.

I just remembered of a black enchantment. Its from the Innistrad block, but I'm not sure what set. Its 2B. You enchant target creature, and when it dies, return it to the battlefield under your control.

Unhallowed Pact is its name. Might have to add that into the deck, now I just have to figure out what to remove...lol

Could also add Grave Betrayal to this deck and replace all the steal cards with kill cards such as Murder! Thanks for the awesome idea! :)

Just play tested this against a fast burn Goblin deck and absolutely destroyed it! I managed to do 24 direct damage to my opponent in a single turn. Here is how the combo happened:

Their Current Permanents: Goblin Chariot, Raging Goblin
My Current Permanents: Charmbreaker Devils

Played Act of Treason on the Goblin Chariot and since I played a sorcery my Charmbreaker Devils become an 8/4. I then used a Bone Splinters sacrificing Goblin Chariot and destroyed their Raging Goblin. My Charmbreaker Devils now become a 12/4 at which point I attacked dealing 12 damage to my opponent. I then cast Fling using my Charmbreaker Devils as the sacrifice, dealing another 12 damage and that was game.

Only thing I could see that would make this deck better is a few Dragonskull Summit and Blood Crypts to give more mana diversity.

i would remove conscripts from the deck or at least make room for the sb. let one rise from the grave drop and that would give u some room for unhallowed pact. i would also suggest letting 1 devil go and maybe 1 act of treason for a couple more mana. u r right a few of the double mana in this deck would certainly help it out.

Finally got around to updating this deck. Took some of the advice of people who commented.

Took out the Zealot Conscripts
Removed 1 Charmbreaker Devils
Removed 1 Act of Treason

Added 2 Unhallowed Pact which allows me to use my opponents creature against them TWICE
Added 2 Skirsdag High Priest to add 5/5 Demons after sacrificing a creature

Thinking of removing one of the Rise from the Grave and maybe a few other cards to add more mana. Let me know what you all think!
