Cast apostles, get Demons, win game.

Braids, Arisen Night would be a good addition, Revel in Riches and more removal may also be good adds. Cannot remove anymore apostles. Pitiless Plunderer 100% needs to be added.

Would like to include Archfiend of Despair but unsure what to remove. Getting Skullclamp with with a tutor to enable card draw seems the way to go. I don't believe Steelshaper's gift is worthwhile as if you draw another tutor first or naturally draw clamp it ends up being a dead card.

Grim Tutor seems like a reasonable card to add given it is now affordable.

Maybeboard explained:

Viscera Seer - Sac outlet

Tendrils of Agony - finisher thanks to Storm - bit anti-fun

Teferi's Protection - strong card

Soul Warden - apostle casts + creature hvy playgroup = lifegain, also Human Cleric are relevant for Edgewalker and Angel of Glory's Rise

**Nyx Lotus ** - Artifact ramp, devotion is easy with apostles

**Vindicate ** - Targeted removal, even hits land

Utter End - Targeted removal, exiles

Butcher of Malachir - Creature removal, same effect as grave pact and dictate of erebos

**Revel in Riches ** - Ramp and Alt win con

Archfiend of Despair - tutorable demon, great stats, damage from ability and shut of lifegain

Expedition Map - Tutor out Bojuka Bog/Cabal Coffers/Urborg

Bontu's Monument - dmg/lifegain on creature cast, reduces black creatures cast cost, although doesn't help with Apostle cast cost

**Castle Locthwain ** - Land, black mana and card draw ability

Steelshaper's Gift - Can tutor Skullclamp which is one of top cards in deck

Liliana, Dreadhorde General - Card draw, Removal and Token creation

Path to Exile & Swords to Plowshares - Problem creatures, eg Elish Norn
