I've been working on one for my Dante's
Inferno deck:
https://deck.tk/0Uah0Tm5Here's what I've got so far. Any suggestions and advice for improvements are welcome, as ever.
# About the deck
This deck is shit. Do not play it. You will lose. I've played it more than 20 times and haven't won a game with it yet.
# But CleanBelwas, Athreos isn't used to portray Dante. Why is he the Commander and not
Ayli, Eternal Pilgrim?
Ayli is shit and Athreos is good. Athreos and
Greed were the two cards that made me want to build the deck in the first place.
# How does this deck win?
You have to hope someone gets to below 3 life. Then, with Athreos out, cast
Blood Pet, sacrifice it, target the low life player with the Athreos trigger, they can't pay. Use the black mana to recast
Blood Pet once it's back in your hand. Get infinite cast and death triggers. Hope you have
Field of Souls on the board and all the spirits can survive a turn cycle.
Alternatively, sometimes
Fallen Angel can just kill people. I think
Fallen Angel is the card that has swung the most stalemates in my favour out of all of my Magic history. It's just generically good in quite a boring way.
# What's a good opening hand?
Anything with more than one land. This deck does not have enough lands.
# Notable inclusions
Gary is pretty good sometimes. Also, we managed to find a legitimate thematic excuse to include a
Sol Ring# Notable Exclusions
All of the good black and white cards.
# Conclusion
THIS DECK IS SHIT. DO NOT PLAY IT.
