Deck Description

Old school format deck I made for a friendly tournament.

Rules are : http://www.eternalcentral.com/9394rules/

Only change is no sideboard is allowed.

I made this deck to try to play lord of the pit, a fun but never played card within my friends back in the days. Most cards are there to have one out by turn 3-4. Since there's no sideboard, cards I put in the sideboard are the ones I thought about playing in the deck.

How to Play

deck mechaninc is pretty simple : get a lord out ASAP! Su-chi - sacrifice, dark ritual to quicken the game. clergy of the holy nimbus and nether shadow to sacrifice and circle of protection to be bomb proof if no creatures are there to sacrifice. Will also help me against black decks. preachers are there to sacrifice my opponent' creatures.

I know i will be facing 2 weenie blue decks with meekstones. To counter the weenies, I added 2x pestilence. Meekstones are also the reason why i have so many disenchant in the deck. Thought about island sanctuary, but the lack of drawing sucks. Could add more greed to counter this. I can use pestilence and circle of protection.

not sure about the animate dead. Sounds right in the deck, but could add a lord of the pit and another pestilence instead.

i know I won't be seeing that much icy manipulator as my friends dont have the right version of it.

any help greatly appreciated
Cheers

Deck discussion for sacrifice to the lord

add grave pack in the deck, the reason is that if you have to sacrifice a creature you can also make your other player do the same.

Hm, this is all over the place ... and yet you are putting all your eggs into one basket^^

I don't think this will play out well. I applaud anybody that wields the Su-Chi/Sacrifice combo, however, this deck needs so many things to go their way and has even more things that might go wrong.

For starters, I checked the rules for your oldschool toruney and it explicitly says you are playing with mana burn rules. This is where Su-Chi might bite you. Nether Shadow with just 18 creatures is probably never going to come back. What are the Clergies doing here? There is better sacrifce material out there. Circle of Protection Black as a reassurance Lordy doesn't eat you alive? I would habe expected Spirit Link instead. Pestilence? It shredders all your other creatures you need as sacrifce material ... and goes away if nothing is left. Greed? Without any life gain? Preacher is a lovely card but that double-white limits it's use here.

* First thing to go are those Pestilences! And I would replace them with DRAIN LIFE! This way you have:
- a second path to victory
- another sink for the Sacrifice-Su-Chi combo
- life gain for Greed
- still spot removal since it can be used on creatures.

* The Clergies are terrible. There are two great replacements in the one mana bracket:
- ABU JAFAR (if you are still worried about opponent's creature assaults, this is your friend)
- INITIATES OF THE EBON HAND (helps converting colorless mana into black mana for Greed and those Drain Lifes I just added)

* Cop: Black ... yeah, I'd rather have SPIRIT LINK. Also, your format allows Fallen Empires. This is the first Lord of the PIT deck I see that doesn't use Breeding PIT.

* Nether Shadow ... well, as I said, I don't think one of them will ever come back, at least not when it still matters. Did you know that there is something similar to Sacrifice in Antiquities, just with legs? He is called PRIEST OF YAWGM*TH. That's what should be in this slot to make the deck more consistent. Ok, it only works on artifacts, but as long as it works on Su-Chi, we are set, right? In either way that's still better than Nether Shadow's ability which will most likely never trigger.

* Preacher. I really like him. And if this was for casual and/or multiplayer I would fully support them. But since you are aiming for a tournament ... in the three mana bracket I would probably run ONULET instead, espcially if you made the change above and run Priests of Yawgie. YOTIAN SOLDIER might also be an option in that case. He doesn't care for all those white and black knights and most other weenies.
If you didn't go for Priests, you might as well run good old HYPNOTIC SPECTERs here in this slot. Those guys can win games all by themselves, especially if you have Dark Rituals (and you have).

FINETUNING:
Wrath of God might still be a good idea and your Animate Dead idea was also spot on (especially if you also include that Wrath). If you have the Breeding Pits, you might consider Soul Exchange instead of Animate Dead. To make room you could go down to 2 Disenchantes, ditch that random Land Tax and go down to 3 Sacrifice if you run Priests.

I'm currently testing against the top 93/94 decks found at tc decks, and I'm playing one circle protection: red in my maindeck. I know that in some variants of 93/94 (especially the one where fallen empire is legal) monoblack is played a lot.

Having circle of protection: Black in your maindeck will actually have a lot of synergy with lord of the pit if you willfully choose not to pay with a sacrifice. You get to have a full array of creatures, and whenever you meet those monoblack decks they will go through hell. I'd try out two circle black for starters and I'd start experimenting with cutting 2 spirit link at first try
