This is just my Gonti deck that I play with my friends. It is not supposed to be the most powerful, and I try and avoid infinite combos like the plague,(Puppeteer+Sack Outlet+Mike doesn't do all that much, and I never search it out). Besides that, a few notes: I do not have the alternate art Liliana Dreadhorde General, she is just in Japanese, and my Liliana of the Dark Realms is signed by the artist. The deck is lacking a few things, namely taking out Ruinous Path for Murderous Rider, and one day getting that Vampiric Tutor. I try and upgrade cards (for example, non-foil to foil, foil to promo) whenever I can. I don't care so much about having all foils, but if the card has the art I like and it is in foil I will try to get it, because that is how the lord of Luxury rolls. As for combos, I avoid them, because a criminal mastermind should play with his victims, and not wipe them out without giving them time to reflect.

UPDATE 1: -1 Temple of False Gods -1 Price of Fame +1 Ruinous Path +1 Jet Medallion

These changes where to make the deck a little stronger, however Jet medallion might be cut because the amount of artifacts in the deck cut the value you on it.

UPDATE 2: -1 Ruinous Path -1 Strands of Night +1 Murderous Rider +1 Erebos, Bleak-Hearted

Updated with new foils and promos.

UPDATE 3: -1 Blade of Selves -1 Boneyard Parley -1 Torment of Hailfire -1 The Elderspell -1 Morbid Curiosity -1 Jet Medallion -1 Hell's Caretaker -2 Swamp +1 Fabled Passage +1 Opposition Agent +1 Massacre Girl +1 Liliana, Death's Majesty +1 Sheoldred, Whispering One +1 Tevesh Szat, Doom of Fools +1 Rise of the Dark Realm +1 Dream Devourer +1 Agadeem's Awakening

Various Alt art and Promos added

Their are a lot of changes here, seeing as I haven't updated this in probably a year. But the general idea around most changes where things that just felt like they sat in my had or didn't do anything fun or impactful for me. Torment of Hailfire was removed for being the only way I won ever, and it got kind of repetitive which is what I want to avoid with this deck. Opposition Agent has been very fun (for me at least) in finding my opponents silver bullets when I need them. Dream Devourer was my replacement for Jet Medallion, Jet Medallion is fine and a very good option, but I just love foretell and protecting my hands from wheels or mass discard. In a slower game it feels like it can save you upwards of 10 mana. Boneyard Parlay will always have a special place in my heart, but a SLD Rise of the dark realms felt better for gameplay and theme ;). The fabled passage may look weird, but that is because it is. Don't judge me for trying to please the Lord of Luxury.

Possible addons from New Cappena: -Cut of the Profits -Dusk Mangler -Sanguine Spy -Misfortune Teller -Dogged Detective -Make an Example -Xander's Pact

Update 4: -1 Grave Titan -1 Dread Return -1 Rescue From the Underworld -1 Sepulchral Primordial +1 Intellect Devourer +1 Brainstealer Dragon +1 Shadow of the Enemy +1 Sword of Hearth and Home

New Sol Ring Art Added

It's been a while since I have been on here to update this deck (all the way back in New Cappena!) but I have returned to update it with some final changes that stuck. Turns out a lot of the New Cappena cards I wanted to play where not that fun to actually use, so they where easy cuts. The addition of Hearth and Home helps the deck find it's feet faster, being able to make sure you always have lands. Shadow the the enamy brings so,e interesting graveyard hate, that the deck sorely needed, but still helps further the game plan, and the Intellect Devourer and Brainstealer Dragon both work with Gonti's plan of stealing cards for opponents, and just being decent cards in and of themselves.
