I really like to build decks around a theme and this is one of my favourite theme's, Demons!

It's an midrange deck where you want to start dropping big demons around turn 5. Blood Speaker enables you to search a demon for a certain situation but mostly you would like to search for Rakdos, Lord of Riots if you have an creature on board or a burn in hand. If Rakdos, Lord of Riots sticks to the board you can abuse his mechanic and start dropping other big demons. If you are facing an aggressive deck Desecration Demon should be your first pick with Blood speaker. This demon is a lot easy-er to get on the board and is a big threat by itself.

Early game is all about stalling your opponent and to scry for land. Pain Seer can draw you the few extra cards to get you going early game and combined with: Temple of Malice , Magma Jet and Harsh Scrutiny you can arrange your draws pretty good. I favour Harsh Scrutiny over Thoughtseize cause it let's you scry, witch is really important with this deck. If you draw blind from the Pain Seer and get a Harvester of Souls or even a Desecration Demon this can really set you back cause this deck is pretty slow in the early game.

Treacherous Pit-Dweller is in the deck to give the idea that this is your average all or nothing Rakdos aggro deck. People tend to deal with the Pit-Dweller pretty quick and then he is your own problem but with Mark of the Oni you can get him back or just simply ignore him and play the Blood Speaker in midgame to search for an answer. Also, the chance of your Blood Speaker sticking increases a lot when people need to remove Treacherous Pit-Dweller enabling you to search for even bigger problems. Mark of the Oni is also a lot of fun when you already have a Demon on board and your opponent plays a big minion or a high value one.

I find this deck overall really fun to play and it's very consistent. Sometimes I swap a demon out for an other just for the fun of it.

Let me know what you guys think of it and suggestions for better demon's are always welcome!
