A deck based around rushing out
Torgaar, Famine Incarnate
and
Demon of Catastrophes
. We use any of our dummies (Goblin tokens, 1/1s that gain value when they enter, etc.) to sacrifice to those two creatures or to the 6/6 demon created by
Rite of Belzenlok
and dominate almost every board. When things get clogged up we can
Thud
using one of our fatties and close out the game.
EDITS:
11/13/2018 - I've made a few changes to the mainboard and sideboard as a result of the meta shift that has been happening since I started messing with the deck list. I have split down the middle the amount of
Lightning Strike
and
Lava Coil
. With the amount of 4 toughness creatures running around at the moment we need a way to answer those creatures and make sure they don't come back. I have also added another
Golden Demise
and
The Eldest Reborn
to the sideboard as a way to wipe boards clogged up with 1 toughness white weenie creatures, red creatures, etc. and Eldest Reborn to get us back any annoying threats of our own or our opponents to keep our pressure high while disrupting the board and the hand. I am also trying out a copy of
Star of Extinction
in the sideboard to mainly combat
Carnage Tyrant
and other huge creatures that tend to be hard to deal with.
12/6/18 - Have recently been testing the deck with
Doom Whisperer
in place of
Rekindling Phoenix
and I have really been liking the change so far. DW seems better right now because of the value we can gain in card selection with instant speed removal spells on the stack.
12/21/18 - Went 3-1 at FNM, only losing in the finals to some bad draws against an insanely aggressive Boris deck.
Sentinel Totem
is an insanely important new sideboard addition to exile away
Arclight Phoenix
and other annoying graveyard shenanigans at instant speed, while also giving us some card selection off the scry.
5/10/19 - I have still been working on the deck since War of the Spark's release and we got a great amount of tools to work with. I have removed
Thud
altogether from the deck because it seemed to be a dead card in most situations except the few magic times it's in your hand at the right time. With the printing of
Mayhem Devil
and
Dreadhorde Butcher
we have gone into a hard sacrifice matters deck which is bolstered by the printing of
Angrath's Rampage
. We still get a 2-of of our boy
Torgaar, Famine Incarnate
because it wouldn't feel right going to the party without him.
Overall with War of the Spark the changes were:
-2
Lightning Strike
-2
Lava Coil
-4
Dusk Legion Zealot
-2
Torgaar, Famine Incarnate
-2
Thud
-1
Plaguecrafter
+4
Dreadhorde Butcher
+4
Mayhem Devil
+4
Angrath's Rampage
+1
Demon of Catastrophes
5/18/19 - After FNM this week I have decided to move out the last 2 copies of
Torgaar, Famine Incarnate
for
Fireblade Artist
. As sad as it makes me, without
Thud
we don't really need him anymore as he doesn't keep our plan of aggression going. While we miss the lifegain just a bit we shouldn't even need it if we go off as quickly as our deck is able to.
