I could really use some help with Marchesa's Demonic Tool Box.
First I'm starting to wonder if Shadowborn Apostle is even worth while. If I get it up and running then great I can abuse them pretty easily with Marchesa, Liliana, Mikeaus, you get it... But that means needing 6 of them in play together and no one is going to just watch that happen after it goes off in the first game. Not to mention the work of assembly with only 12 in the deck. If I drop them I will also drop Secret Salvage and Mortal Combat . I'll need to double check if anything else would have to go.
Second What do you think of the demons I chose? I love Prince of Thralls . he is why I want this deck to be at least grixis colors. Are there any I missed that are really awesome? Any I'm using that are subpar? I do want around 20 so that I can call it tribal. That is the main goal of this monstrosity, is to have a demon tribal deck.
Any other thoughts?
I think you are wise to question the ability of the 12 Shadowborn Apostle cards. You may be better off replacing them with tutors, draw spells, and removal. I would suggest cards, but really it will come down to budget. If you have the cash, replace those twelve commons with great cards. If you don't have the cash, replace them with cheap but adequate cards.

While Shadowborn Apostle is fun, it is really all in or nothing. You need, like, 20+ in the deck!
Get more in the deck or yank them out completely would be my suggestion.
Relentless Rats has the same problem.

Lord of the Void, and Demon of Death's Gate are pretty awesome. Xathrid Demon is pretty neato, but risky.
