---

This is a 2DH deck, which is a variant of EDH where the commander can be $5 or less, and the 99 can be $2 or less each (we use the tcgplayer median). This leads to some interesting interactions not normally seen, and no combo on turn 3. AKA longer games and more fun!

The deck is essentially demon tribal with a splash of eldrazi. It aims to play big threats and hopefully keep my opponents from getting too out of control with Things like Archfiend of Depravity Chain Reaction and Butcher of Malakir

There is one alternate win con, in Liliana's Contract which is very easily obtainable in this deck, given the number of demons in it.

Pacing yourself is important with this deck. If you start throwing down 6/6 flying trample demons on turn 4 you WILL become the target for everyone at the table. Early game it's much better to play advantage cards like Theater of Horrors and pingers like Lobber Crew and Plague Spitter THEN once you're ready to roll, cast rakdos and then spit out a slew of demons all at once. Best case with a haste enabler and Seize the Day to straight up kill an opponent or two.
