Let me put it this way. You ever heard of Belzenlok? Griselbrand? Kothoped? Morons. -Razaketh, the Foulblooded

---

Big demon tribal. Get a combo or synergy going to win the game through combat damage or life loss.

Key combos

1. Pestilence Demon + Basilisk Collar + Darksteel Plate, gain life destroying every other creature while draining your opponents life. Works with Loxodon Warhammer too.

2. Blade of Selves + Abhorrent Overlord this makes tons of harpys which you can attack with or use as sac fodder for Razaketh, the Foulblooded.

3. Blade of Selves + Rune-Scarred Demon, tutor tutor tutor, then sac sac sac to Razaketh, the Foulblooded to tutor 3 more times.

4. Blade of Selves + Lord of the Void, first off Lord of the void hits for 7, that's nothing to scoff at. When Lord of the Void connects it's triggered ability is insane. Having this trigger 3 or 4 times in one combat is awesome.

5. Blade of Selves + Gray Merchant of Asphodel this is by far the game ending play with Blade of Selves. This usually should hit for more then 40 life.

6. The quintessential combo in mono black, yes I run it too. Sanguine Bond + Exquisite Blood. There are so many combos with those two enchantments.

7. Exsanguinate + Archfiend of Despair, with the archfiend you will not need as much mana to drain all your opponents life in one. Also works with Torment of Hailfire

8. Exsanguinate + Sanguine Bond, this will for sure at least kill one player if the x cost is say something like, 7. This also works in reverse if you need more life with Exquisite Blood

9. Quicksilver Amulet + Ob Nixilis, Unshackled or Belbe's Portal + Ob Nixilis, Unshackled. Flash out Ob Nixilis, Unshackled when some ones cracks a fetch land or any other tutor

Other win conditions.

• Liliana's Contract
• Rise of the Dark Realms
• Army of the Damned
• Exsanguinate
• Torment of Hailfire
• Gray Merchant of Asphodel

Cheating out a demon with Quicksilver Amulet or Belbe's Portal before the end of your opponents turn befor your turn with Liliana's Contract in play is the best way to sneak the win in.
