Have fun causing deep despair in your opponents! This deck is a Stax version of Mogis, God of Slaughter.

Some of the best Stax effect are present in Black, in the form of cards like Nether Void, The Abyss and Chains of Mephistophelis, as well as some of the best mass removals such as Damnation and Toxic Deluge. Also present are the best tutors, such as Vampiric Tutor, Demonic Tutor, Cruel Tutor, Grim Tutor and Imperial Seal, which give enormous flexibility to different game moments. In addition, the deck has a very strong theme of discard, using cards such as Oppression, Bottomless Pit, Necrogen Mists, Painful Quandary, Liliana of the Veil, Mindslicer, Sire Of Insanity and good sorceries of discard in multiplayer, like Tasigur's Cruelty, Arterial Flow, Delirium Skeins, in addition to Pox and Smallpox, which strongly affect the board state. It should be remembered that these effects feed both Waste Not, generating great board and card advantage, which together with Necropotence and Phyrexian Arena often put us very forward in the game while our opponents play from top deck.

The Red is a more supporting color on the deck, but brings some interesting effects like: Possibility Storm, hindering accurate answers and turning tax effect on cast wicked as hell; Stranglehold, that prevents your opponents from seeking the solution of their problems; Chaos Warp, one of the very few cards in this color combination that helps to deal with Enchantments; Blood Moon, that makes greed mana base owners cry blood. Devastation, which allows us to destroy all creatures and lands, leaving our artifacts and enchantments in peace, including our commander, Mogis, God of Slaughter, who in these extremely limiting conditions may actually become a kill condition.

The artifacts are also very present in the list and besides mana rocks, we have fundamental pieces for Stax: Winter Orb, Static Orb, Torpor Orb, Cursed Totem, Damping Matrix, Sphere of Resistance, Ensnaring Bridge, among others. It should be remembered that we have some lands that can be key in certain situations, like The Tabernacle at Pendrell Vale, with its powerful effect on taxing creatures. Or Maze of Ith, that can save us in situations where opponents try to put pressure to remove us from the game.

Make the game extremely inhospitable to creatures, exterminate the cards from all players' hands and prevent your opponents from doing anything, while causing slow death with your commander who will hardly be cast more than once and will not suffer from any of the hostile effects to creatures. Or you can cause aneurysm brain at once, after playing around with the souls of your little friends, with cards like Havoc Festival + Wound Reflection or the Mindcrank + Bloodchief Ascension combo, which is usually activated in only one round.

Have fun, lose all your friends and reserve your place in hell!
