After killing some time on the Wizards' Gatherer, I wanted to make a cool Demon deck, using ones with cheaper casting costs, and finding ways around any drawbacks they may have.

I envision the deck playing Abyssal Persecutor and stomping around until I can sacrifice it to Xathrid Demon and really wreck up the joint.

Desecration Demon puts pressure on the opponent and can also end up being sac'd to Xathrid Demon if need be later on.

Sign in Blood, Bloodgift Demon and Indulgent Tormentor all help me get the cards I need, while Murder, Perilous Myr and Tragic Slip buy me time to get the big boys on the table.

Hopefully its quick, angry, and effective!

I'm still tinkering, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Sidenote: I got this deck idea while trying to upgrade the Demonic Deals preconstructed deck from Origins. I was toying with the idea of keeping the Red with quick damage like Blightning or Demonfire , or the good valued Avaricious Dragon , but I decided against it. Should I reconsider splashing Red? Any other cards that might improve it?
