Abyssal Shadows!So, this is at heart an
abyssal persecutor deck
Abyssal Persecutor is, as a creature, exceptionally strong, being a 6/6 flying/trample with a CMC of 4. It comes with a pretty hefty drawback, of course- you cannot win nor can your opponent lose while it's on the field, so we need a way to get rid of him when our opponents are in the negatives, health-wise! To do this we use
Tymaret, the Murder King, and cards such as
bone splinters,
altar's reap, or
endless sands.
A second theme is
Death's Shadow, giving us a payoff from those fetch and
shock lands,
dark confidant, thoughtsieze damage, and potentially
browbeat and
lightning bolt!
Aether membrane is an amazing staller, and provides us with an additional
bone splinters /
altar's reap target should the need arise!
