Demons For Days

Use Arcane Adaptation to make everything a demon to win through Liliana's Contract. Other spells make multiple tokens or holds off opponent  to buy time for combo.

This deck can be broken down into a few sections:

REMOVAL - Vraska's Contempt and Fatal Push. Fungal infection can be used here for smaller creatures like llanowar elves, bomat courier, etc.

COUNTER - Negate and syncopate. Blue Draw Go is my least played archtype, so judging these types of cards is harder for me. Good to stretch, grow, and learn.

DRAW/TUTOR - Mastermind's Acquisition, Search for Azcanta, Liliana's Contract. Mastermind's Acquisition to find one of the 3: arcane adaptation, liliana's contact, weaponcraft enthusiast. Search for azcanta is good in ways I don't have to enumerate here. Liliana's Contract draws 4, nuff said.

CREATURES - demons themselves, and good ones at 3cmc, or the doomed dissenter replaces itself which works well for a win condition predicted on having 4 creatures. Weaponcraft enthusiast is just stupid in this strategy, making 3 demons for 3 mana when arcane adaptation is out.

I see, it's a good way to force a win condition.

I don't think it'll be playable until after rotation, because aggro shits on tokens but post rotation it seems to be in a good spot

The Doomed dissenter also dies to Chainwhirler, but it makes a 2/2. The optimal play is not to create the tokens until you have liliana's contract out. Turn after the contract hits you make a few more demons and hopefully have enough mana to counter a sweeper before your next upkeep. Red and black (aggro) are not very good at dealing with enchantments. The 5 toughness on ammit eternal and lifelink from baleful ammit are also good against aggro.

I think you use a funny definition of 'playable'. I think you mean to say 'top-tier competitive at the professional level'. The deck is imminently playable, unexpected, and has interaction with counters and removal - but it couldn't be considered likely to go rogue at a GP and have good success.

Oh sure you can play it but if you go up against aggro or control    no need to be rude

I agree, no need to be rude  - but here you are, doing your thing where you tell people their decks are bad then react poorly when someone disagrees with you.

Thanks for your thoughts on my idea, though haven't you been warned about this kind of behavior? I mean the hit and run posts with little value that boil down to "yer dek sux lol <insertemoji>". Just to make it clear, I don't appreciate them and ask you to refrain from doing so in the future. By all means, hit me with constructive criticism. But not what you are doing now.

Unless you are doing it to be a troll, I'm sure you have better things to do know that you know it is not appreciated.

I actually never said once that it was bad, so stop trying to cause problems

It's ok, Soren. Whatever you are going through, I hope you have a better day. If you are done talking about the deck and its pros and cons in a constructive manner, just stop posting in this one thread. Not that hard.

I'm not sure where you got "yer dek sux" from "your deck would get fucked in the pre rotation meta but seems fine for post rotation." Please at least read my posts before you go on a deranged rant.
