shadow63, Bloodgift Demon is an excellent creature, but I need to ensure that any deck that contains it also has a reliable method for gaining life.

griffstick, Kaervek the Merciless is an amazing creature, but I cannot justify paying 7 mana for him, no matter how good his ability is, especially when he is only a 5/4, and Dread Presence is also awesome, but its emphasis on swamps limits it to one- or two-colored decks.

Yes, but it is mainly there because I wanted to see card recommendations.

Kaervek the Merciless

I'm hoping to keep the deck to, RB? I forgot the term for red and black.

Dihada is a really solid deck, if I had not built He Who Shan't Be Named I would have used this as my Mardu commander.

Kaervek the Merciless is ridiculous with lifelink until your next turn. I would probably go with several direct damage legendaries like that. Zo-Zu the Punisher is another one you could turn into unilateral advantage pretty easily.

Apologies for the double post, but I just thought of Mondronen Shaman  Flip, which is a small Werewolf-y Kaervek the Merciless.

Okay so, I'm building an alternate roster of creatures for my deck that cheats out high cost creatures. I want it to have creatures that do Damage over turns, or on spell casting, etc (like Ruric Thar, the Unbowed, Kaervek the Merciless, Magmatic Force). Any recommendations for similar indirect-damage creatures would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks

Heartless Hidetsugu is a great choice. To pitch some other ideas, Isshin, Two Heavens as One (not really underrated, but versatile and budget-friendly), Kaervek the Merciless, Astarion, the Decadent, and Riku of Two Reflections (not underrated, but fun and because I'm only suggesting cards so far). You know what you want, though, so no hard feelings if these aren't what you're looking for.

You might enjoy Agitator Ant, it is pretty funny in chaos decks, as is Angel's Trumpet. It's a weird card, but War Cadence is really useful to make blocking impossible. There is also War Tax, which is the opposite yet also very fun. If you aren't big on combos, Protection Racket can either give you non-lands or deal damage, extra juicy with Exquisite Blood obviously. He's clunky now, but Kaervek the Merciless deals a heap of damage, both him and Vial are good with Mask of Griselbrand, as is Rite of the Raging Storm.

Not quite sure it fits, but Fatespinner does a fair bit of work, adding a substantial cost to attacking for your opponents while doing nothing to you.
