Well, I think it's ok. We I'm decktesting I'll see how the Sin Prodder interacts with the lands and decide wether to keep him in or kick him out. Aside of that no, I think the deck is good as it is. Seems fun to play

Don't get me wrong, I really like Sin Prodder, I considered him like a red and somewhat better Dark Confidant. I kicked him out of the deck because it provided my opponent the ability to make me discard land cards while they receive 0 damage by doing that. It's not such a huge deal at turn 4 and msybe having a few more lands in hand, but I judt disliked that possibility. Anyways, I'm still testing out the deck and probably the Sin Prodder comes back 'cause it's just too good and the chance of showing a land card with his ability turn 4 and forth iskinda unlikely.

@AlexL225 That's a good idea, I forgot about that card, thanks

@G. Moto I considered Reaper From the Abyss for this deck instead of Ob Nixilis Unshackled, but I'm testing it with proxies. Reaper is probably a better option thanks to that sweet Morbid ability, but we're testing yet. Sin Podder was in fact in the maindeck until a few days ago, but I realized that if you reveal a land your opponent can just make you throw it away receiving 0 damage and having you with masa issues. It was a fun and effectve card anyways, maybe the little Podder comes back in the future.

Happy new year to you too

I know there's no need to pay 6 mana for the Squealing Devil, it was an example. But yeah, it seems a good budget option. Rain of Gore sure seems a good sideboard, I'm including it. Pain Magnificatoin its alright if the matchup allows you to attack a few times with most creatures of the deck.

Well I think the two devils are not quite bad, but I kinda like Gibbering Fiend over Squealing Devil since this one requires you to pay its cost, pay X to increase a creature's power in X just during this very turn and then another black mana to keep it alive. Seems too much mana invested on a single creature just to gain a few attack points. And it doesn't even have Flash to cast it mid-combat. 6 mana for a 2/1 and +3/+0 until the end of this turn to just one of the other creatures? Nah.

To be honest, I just picked Shadowborn Demon becuase I loved that it is a 5/6 flyer for 5 mana and that it destroyes a creature entering the battefield. Archfiend of Depravity sure it's good, I like it. But I'm not with that 4 toughness, seems kinda low and makes it vulnerable to things like Flame Slash or Thunderbolt. When I print proxies and test the deck I'll know if the Archfiend is better that the Demon or not.

Anyways, thanks for your comments and suggestions!

It is too expensive for me aswell haha #PrayForCavernOfSoulsReprint. But yeah, Ancient Ziggurat seems a good budget version of Cavern of Souls. It is very hard to replace Vexing Devil  while keeping the devil/demon sinergy. The only option would be using Forge Devil but I think that card is bad and too situational, but your can use things like Bloodcrazed Goblin if your wanna keep it aggressive. Maybe Manaforge Cinder to ramp a little?

Hi silentkiss and thanks for the comment!

I agree with you about Thoughtcast and Dispatch. The original deck used to have 4 Memnite and 4 Ortithopter, so Metalcraft and Affinity were way easier to trigger back then but I was so dumb that I didn't exclude those two. And yes, Ultimate Price and Go for the Throat are way more useful in this deck, I admit I forgot about those.

I really like the idea of including Clutch of the Undercity, tutoring Supreme Verdict and Master Transmuter will be really helpful.

The idea behind the inclusion of Ethersworn Adjudicator was a weird combo about summon it with Master Transmuter ability, equip it whit Lightning Greaves and use its ability but yeah, that's too situational. Oh and yeah, I really love Hindering Light too, but I tried to replace it with Rebuff the Wicked -wich is in the sideborad- but Hindering is way better.

Ethersworn Shieldmage was in the original deck but I decided to remove it because while testing he was of no use. Nontheless you're right, it can be useful here.

Thanks again

Bloodgift is very good too, but I choosed Indulgent Tormentor instead because it forces your opponent to sacrifice a creature or take 3 damage to him/herself. It kinda works well with Desecration Demon and I personally prefer my opponents to lose a creature or 3 lifes in order to prevent my hand advantage instead of just drawing one more card.

I saw that card a few days ago and I was looking for it, but I didn't find it and so I used Tidehollow Strix. Thanks!

@JackOfSpades It's actually a good idea, I didn't know about that card and might me a nice tool to cast a few spells while having Blistercoil Weird able to block. I would definitetly use it to deal a good amount of damage to my opponent in one turn. Thank you! .

@Pfedza Yea, I know it is a strange concept, the crazy idea come when I thought "Hey, the rules stands for I can't attack a tapped creature. Planeswalkers are not creatures but they can be attacked too. Ral Zarek's +1 allows me to tap and untap the cards I desire so... can it make him unvulnerable?". The main idea is not to allow Ral Zarek to "block", it is to prevent my ceratures to be sacrificed in order to block the attacks that go for him, so I'd still have some creatures in the battelfield.
I have to protect him at any cost since he's the main gear of the main combo in this deck. Without this planeswalker the deck is kinda playable too, but a lot more risky and slow.
