Devils Playing with Artifacts

Hey! I've created this deck in a dream of a devil-tribal-based-deck. I would really appreciate any help, comments, suggestions and ofc +1;) I know some of those devils kinda suck, but the whole point is really just to stick to the lore-theme and therefor make those devils red hot. The Devils gain strength from all the tribal-boosting-artifacts, the so called DevilBoosters, like Coat of Arms, Door of Destinies and so on.

With the recent Shadow over Innistrad/Eldritch Moon expansion this deck has become even more useful<3

(Change the 'Ordering' to 'Custom Categories' for a more smooth walkthrough)

The deck can win in various ways. There's the obvious way with artifact-presence and Hellkite Tyrant. Otherwise the devils of this deck will ensure you a victory! Alternatively you could also ping your way to victory.

'Plan A' is to use Tutor spells to find the DevilBoosting artifacts and then let your Devils swing in, while you simultaneously mess up your opponents with your Commander, Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker, and the Combo cards.

By mainly having Devils we can buff them insanely with all the DevilBoosting artifacts: Akroma's Memorial + Caged Sun + Coat of Arms + Door of Destinies + Gauntlet of Power + all of the enchantments. Our little destructive Scalding Devil could easily become a 7/7 and potentially a 82/60 with double strike, flying, haste, first strike, vigilance, trample, indistructable, shroud and unblockable haha.

Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker, Feldon of the Third Path and partly Flameshadow Conjuring syngergies well with the creatures of the deck. By using those abilities you get both the "When this creature enters battlefield" and (Not with Flameshadow Conjuring:) the "When this creature leaves the battlefield (die)" effects.

This means you each turn could:

And so on... Check out the creatures abilities and imagine them with the ability of Kiki. Oh, and by the way, you could equip Illusionist's Bracers to Kiki (/Feldon) so he can double up those combos all the time;)

The cards marked with 'X' isn't fully useable with Flameshadow Conjuring since the "When this creature dies"-effect doesn't trigger when Flameshadow Conjuring forces them to be exiled. Thank you Wobbly_Bob for mentioning.

Warstorm Surge triggers with Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker, Flameshadow Conjuring and Feldon of the Third Path as well - That can escalade quickly!

Another fast way to win could be to use Kuldotha Forgemaster or Planar Bridge to get Blightsteel Colossus into battle. You could make sure to have Akroma's Memorial, Flamekin Village or Lightning Greaves present, so Blightsteel could swing in instantly.

Use Petrified Field to get back Haven of the Spirit Dragon (Or Buried Ruin) so we can get an optionally 3rd shot at Hellkite Tyrant if necessary.

Artifacts like Herald's Horn and Ruby Medallion makes it even easier to summon the devils.

Insurrection, Blightsteel Colossus, Steel Hellkite, Taurean Mauler, Daretti, Scrap Savant-10, Kindred Charge and Insuly // Injury is also win condition cards. Partly also Comet Storm, Indomitable Creativity and Valakut, the Molten Pinnacle.

If you like the deck, give it a +1:)

Your curve is pretty high. I might swap out some 5-6 mana stuff for 1-2 mana stuff, to speed things up a bit.

Why not make Tibalt your commander? Sure he isn't the best, but he rocks the devil theme!

torridus: Thanks for the comment:) You make a good point. The EDH-format normally have a higher curve and the avg. CMC. is below 4 so it's not all too bad, but I sure might have to low it. What are your thoughts to take out? I personally think the deck needs a bit more draw power - Any suggestions?

ThomFoolery: Thank you as well for the comment:) Tibalt surely isn't too good, he was among the first 20 cards I picked, but since he ain't a Devil in creature type and you can't use him as your commander (only legendary creatures) I'll save his spot for something better;)

I know you have a lot of non-basic lands but why not look into Blood Moon? It ruins A LOT of EDH decks and doesn't exactly hurt yours. Also you could add in a win condition with Spawn of Thraxes since you already have Hellkite Tyrant. Also speaking of Hellkite Tyrant why don't you have Mycosynth Lattice? I know you want the devil tribal but you seem to have an artifact backup plan. I would suggest you switch your commander to Daretti, Scrap Savant especially since he helps you draw which red typically doesn't do. You get to keep your devil tribal and also have the artifact benefit of a commander who deals very well with artifacts. Speaking of artifacts you could look into Platinum Angel, Blightsteel Colossus, Darksteel Colossus, and even Oxidda Golem. Just some suggestions for you.

Oh! I thought we could use any ol planeswalker as a commander. Just looked up the ruling on that; yeah Tibalt's useless haha what a shame too! He looks so cool.

Pheardemons: Nice input and suggestions - Thank you. You suggest somehow expensive cards, I'm just about to collect the cards in this deck, and another 90$ for 4 cards is not what I'm going for atm. Anyway, if I were to switch in some of those cards you need to help me at what to take out! You suggest 5 creature cards, and that could easily be 5 less devils to rock the DevilBoosters... I do like Spawn of Thraxes anyway, it would do really well with the Combo cards. I own it, but don't think Platinum Angel is 'fun', I don't want to freeze the game in that kind of way. Beside being sorta expensive, the colossus are shuffled into the deck and therefor the current commander couldn't reuse them;/ But I will remember them for wealthier days. Daretti sure is a viable choice for another commander, I just don't see him do the same crazy combos that Feldon does. Daretti would be better for a full artifact deck, I guess. Furthermore the deck has a lot of tutors which might get Daretti just when you need him. Thank you for the suggestions! Please feel free to reply which cards you think I could swap out for your suggestions:)

ThomFoolery: At first I thought so too hehe. You could use him with "house rules" but beside the flavor I see no need to add him atm;)

I know you want to keep the devil theme but Riot Devils doesn't have any effect whatsoever. Also Mana Echoes seems somewhat irrelevant being that few of your cards are expensive and in EDH you'll get enough mana to hard cast everything. Helpful in a sense but not one I see you tutoring for. Also Sarkhan's Triumph is only there for a couple of cards. Maybe a card that would be more beneficial to the deck as whole. Those are cards that I possibly see being taken out.

Pheardemons Perfect answer, thanks. I thought the same with Riot Devils, could surely be switched with a colossus. Good point with Mana Echoes, it's sometimes a little confusing what to do if you read the first comment and your comment hehe. The deck also have a lot of other ramp so Mana Echoes could probably be switched. But if I included both colossus, wouldn't it be nice with the Mana Echoes so I also could cast something else on such turn? I'm personally pretty found of Sarkhan's Triumph. The deck's other tutor spells are really expensive and Sarkhan's Triumph can only find wincon cards. I've just added Spawn of Thraxes so even more to find, also with this few inst./sorc. Charmbreaker Devils would probably often get to return Sarkhans Triumph ... I've just created this deck, I'm somehow new to MTG and haven't even tried to play the deck yet, so I'm not all sure on my own opinion. Thank you for helping!

Tibalt, the Fiend-Blooded seems like a must have flavor wise.

Pheardemons says... #10

I understand there is somewhat of contradictory logic with Mana Echoes and the colossus'. Another card to possibly look into is Through the Breach. If you get the hit with Blightsteel Colossus that's game over with the infect all for 5 mana. One card maybe to consider taking out is Charmbreaker Devils being that it can only hit a total of 7 cards. However it is a devil so I understand the inclusion and keeping it. Vedalken Orrery is one to possibly consider. Play cards like Coat of Arms on your opponent's turn after the attack to boost all of your creatures and they wouldn't expect it.

magiceli: He is for sure... I'll buy him next time I'm at the shop and see if he is worth putting in.

Pheardemons: I really appreciate your help:) Just wondering, the game is only over if Blightsteel Colossus manage to deal 10 dmg. to the player, right? So if a creature blocked it, it wouldn't apply all 10 poison counters, right? I understand your point of Charmbreaker Devils, but (beside being a devil...) thinking that he only can hit 7 cards at all it's also really reliable? Like, if I only had Gamble, Insurrection or one of the ping spells in the graveyard I would be sure to get a good card back. Charm. Devils would also allow me to reuse Through the Breach and the deck doesn't have a lot of recursion otherwise. If I had to switch a devil I don't think i should be Charmbreaker Devils or am I thinking it wrong? Thanks again for the suggestions - I'm gonna fit in Through the Breach and Blightsteel Colossus:):)

November 17, 2015 10:22 a.m.

Pheardemons says... #12

You are correct on Blightsteel Colossus. It has to deal the ten damage in order for that player to lose. And I was somewhat thinking towards that logic with Charmbreaker Devils and that is a good point to continuously bringing back the same spell if it is working. It all depends on how YOU want to play. You don't need to take a single advice from anyone as long as your happy with your own deck. Those were just some of my suggestions. How does it play though?

Pheardemons: Great to know with the Colossus. Hehe yeah, Charmbreaker Devils are a bit like Sarkhan's Triumph, you kinda know they will get you something good since there's not much to choose between. I know it's important to keep it in a way that yourself are going to enjoy:) I haven't gathered the deck yet! Waiting for some cards to be send to me... Which would you say is better? Through the Breach or Sneak Attack? I've seen the price difference yes:b

November 19, 2015 9:30 a.m.

Pheardemons says... #15

Sneak Attack has more consistency being that it is an enchantment. Although I'm not exactly sure you have enough big creatures for that to be worth the money. Maybe proxie and playtest.
