Belzenlok Picture

I was originally making this list for Gonti, Lord of Luxury! While I was creating it, a stranger whispered to me "Why not use Demonlord Belzenlok instead?" while laughing in an odd manner. The result was the Gonti, Lord of Luxury shell, tweaked with higher mana curve! The decks main focus is the same as any Gonti, Lord of Luxury deck! Recur/bounce/double/triple Demonlord Belzenlok effect, but instead draw a bunch of cards in a fun manner!

I mainly try to win with Liliana's Contract, as the flavour is juicy. To this effect there is an obvious inclusion I avoided! I could play Conspiracy to make the win con easier to achieve, but I decieded I wanted to win with actual demons (Not four random harpies off Abhorrent Overlord). There's two ways I envision pulling this off. First option is to revive/play four demons and wait for the next upkeep. Second option is to have Vedalken Orrery and as the upkeep trigger for Liliana's Contract happens, respond to the trigger going to the stack and revive/play the remaining demons!

Otherwise, there is always the typical staples like Gray Merchant of Asphodel, Exsanguinate or Torment of Hailfire!

Suggestions are welcome as always! :D

Suggestions

Updates Add

Out:

  • Buried Alive

More often than not, I put amazing stuff in the yard for others to steal XD.

  • Bloodgift demon

Hurts taking out a demon from the deck, but he isn't very impactful. For this reason, he had to go! :(

  • Doomed Necromancer

Unless I managed to hit this guy on the board turn 3, he was serious dead card in the more intense games I played!

  • Hell's caretaker

Needed the deckslot for other cards!

  • Beacon of unrest

I never really got to play this, and the utility of reviving artifacts didn't come up very often. It might go back in tho!

  • Desserted Temple

Ended up being exiled, and I never really tutor for it!

  • Erratic Portal

Managed to get hold of the superior version! :D

  • Lashwrite

Replaced with a similar card.

  • Diabolic intent

I'm trying out Beseech instead of this one!

In:

  • Tawnos Coffin

It's just superior to Erratic in every way! :D

  • Barren Moor

Nice cycle, never that horrible to have.

  • Glacial Chasm

This card also saves me from Belzenlok's habit of murdering me!

  • Sorin Makarov

I don't beat people with infinites, so if they get to much health..... Sorin solves that problem pretty well...... I love this card XDDDD!

  • Blade of Selves

I have a lot of powerful etb's in the deck as well as my commander. I can't wait to pull this off and hopefully drown in value!! :D

  • Skirge Familar

He's a poweful enabler that came with my shipment, so I'm commiting myself to trying him out!

  • Ravenous Chupacabra

Another powerful etb for dealing with problems. At my lgs and playgroup, more and more people are adding the best color black, so this is an antidote to the problem.... sort of?

  • Nightmare Lash

For the most part I equip my Demonlord with Lashwrite for the commander damage lethals. This one hurts my life total slightly less :P.

  • Beseech the Queen

Even though I can pay only three to cast this spell, it still has a converted mana cost of six. This means it won't stop Belzenlok's chains!
