Seems pretty good! I'd suggest Silence the Believers as a great way to deal with multiple threats in the late game, and Empty the Pits, as an X-spell wincon that Toshiro can replay, should someone have a counterspell for the first time you try.

I know I forgot something lol. Plus with Mirari the value of Empty the Pits and Silence the Believers is glorious

I've also thought about swapping out those creature you mentioned will put a bullseye on you for something like Wall of Souls or Stuffy Doll Insidious Dreams would be a nice tutor until I get Vampiric Tutor

After a few more tweeks this deck may be fun to play against :)

This deck is way way different than mine so I'm not sure how this would play out, I personally like having some low cost creatures or for this deck I'd say a board wipe or two I'm sorry I'm not of much help, but I hope this deck works out well for you, I do love the backstory.

Dread is another good card to partner with No Mercy. Bubble Matrix might work for you, too.

MrBubbles110 yeah I'm still searching for certain creatures that can either put things in the grave quickly or gain life. I would like to see your version of toshiro for ideas however it may help me out on a few things.

bushido_man96 Idk about Dread it's good but it may not fit in this deck

If No Mercy fits, then why wouldn't Dread?

It's the cost of mana

On second thought it will fit into the deck I'll try it out and see what happens

I think maybe you should try Yahenni's Expertise as a way to do some early wiping and cast something for free, might also try Pestilence, Attrition, or Whip of Erebos in the enchantment slots. On the more costly side, Yawgmoth's Will would be really sweet.

Yahenni's Expertise, Yawgmoth's Will, and Whip of Erebos Would fit in this deck only problem I don't know what to remove. Pestilence would be hilarious with Exquisite Blood. I'll test it out

Looks a good deck, but if you are looking for more Sac Outlets, I feel Bontu the Glorified is a good option to include.

Victim of Night and Ashes to Ashes. Sure, the former is specific and the latter is painful, but unless your meta is filled with token players, Bile Blight is really bad in EDH. Hour of Glory only works once and if their God deck is voltron, some players will just not care you got rid of their commander.

Hour of Glory is vastly preferable over Ashes to Ashes - it doesn't require you to pay 5 life, is an instant, is reusable from the graveyard, and doesn't require two targets to fire off.

Bile Blight is at its best against tokens, but even in games where no token creation happens, there are an awful lot of relevant creatures with less than four toughness.

Have you play tested it?(IRL)

Yep so far the results were I got 3 hatred kills. Swung with a army of dinosaurs against a Gishath, Killed everyone with double Torment of Hailfire using Mirari. And almost milled out a Oloro. It does have a hard time dealing with some control decks since it's a arms race on getting the right instant to kill them with. But overall The deck have proven to be a threat when it goes off or provoked.

Ghoulcaller Gisa and Thornbite Staff can generate you as many tokens as you want once you get it going.

Cool deck with a general I don't see often! +1

Since you care about creatures dying, have you thought about Black Market? It'll give you mana for you pre-combat shenanigans and also a lot of fuel for Torment of Hailfire(one of my favorite cards btw).

@suns_champion Black Market have been on my mind. In terms of ramp I just need to find a fast way to exploit it.

October 25, 2017 12:28 p.m.

I was playing and managed to get my black market up to 20. Granted, it was a 1v1 match, but it is definitely still an insane card.

nice it turn's out Desecration Demon is very effective in the deck folks rather sac then have a 6/6 flyer hit them head on I'm thinking about putting in Skirsdag High Priest in this deck

A really good way to lock down the board is Contamination paired with Reassembling Skeleton. This will shut down your opponents mana, unless you are playing against mono black or colorless decks. All in all very solid deck and really impressive

Fun deck to look at and a great deck to play against! Repay in Kind was something you suggested and i think it's a nice inclusion. Adding Mind's eye, a good way to draw.

night's whisper, phyrexian gargantua, phyrexian arena, staff of nin, promise of power are all fine cards to consider, though sorcery speed nonbos with your general. card draw is still card draw. that said, Succumb to temptation looks to be a nice inclusion as well!

this deck still looks like a blast to pilot as it is! good luck and happy topdecks!

Having instants to flash back with Toshiro that arent just spot removal is important. Moonlight Bargain and Wretched Confluence are a little bit pricy in terms of CMC, but they can do a lot of work, and have uses outside of killing your opponents dudes.
