57 Games Update —Sept. 21, 2019

After 8 months of playing basically ever friday, I've made some updates that will help with the main issue I run into when playing which is, killing myself lol. Some of the time I would take about half my life total and had no way to get it back. So i've added Exsanguinate, Exquisite Blood, Sanguine Bond, and Polluted Bonds. I've also added some great reanimation targets, It That Betrays, Vilis, Broker of Blood, Scourge of the Throne, and Herald of Leshrac. Vilis has become one of my favorite cards. Drawing cards and controlling the board by ridding it of small creatures is very powerful in my playgroup. I will update this deck again if I make any significant changes.

Hey, you're welcome.

It's worth mentioning that with Sneak Attack you can put Demons onto the battlefield from your hand at instant speed for one each. This is very good with Liliana's Contract :)

Yeah that’s pretty sick, I’m glad you suggested Sneak Attack, I didn’t know it existed lol.

I'm glad you're not being "that guy." If the plan isn't to make empty hands hurt equally all around, though, there's a couple cards you can include to make it hurt less for you: Gustha's Scepter allows you to stash away your reanimation cards so you don't have to discard them, and it's completely mana free! Mindstorm Crown is another copy of Phyrexian Arena . I'd also run the new Rakdos, the Showstopper , Patriarch's Bidding , and Urza's Incubator , since you're going demon tribal.

Thanks for the suggestions triproberts12. The Gustha's Scepter idea is pretty cool and would be a nice way to get around losing cards I don't want to lose. I did have Goblin Lore and Burning Inquiry in the deck, but the random discard was too, get this, unpredictable. Rakdos, the Showstopper is sweet, but I think I would need Krark's Thumb for him. Urza's Incubator would obviously be good, not sure what to cut for it, maybe Jet Medallion .

No trouble! I wouldn't sleep on Rakdos, though. Even with a 50% chance of killing each creature, it's probably an equal or better rate than Reaper from the Abyss . I think I'd cut Abyssal Persecutor, since you don't have much that can sac it. If you're looking for early demon plays, Spawn of Mayhem is coming out in the new set. Also, Archdemon of Paliano has no downside outside of its draft format. Mindwrack Demon will help you fill the yard. Rakdos, Lord of Riots plays well into your high CMC stuff. Finally, Taurean Mauler is a staple in most red tribal decks. Also, I would run Bojuka Bog to hose any graveyard deck you're sharing a table with.
