Archdemon of Paliano

Creature — Demon

Draft Archdemon of Paliano face up.

As long as Archdemon of Paliano is face up during the draft, you can't look at booster packs and must draft cards at random. After you draft these cards this way, turn Archdemon of Paliano face down. (You may look at cards as you draft them.)

So, black has goblins, and black doesn't really do random. It causes random discard or reveal with Hired Torturer, but otherwise, just Ghoulraiser's Zombie reanimation and Archdemon of Paliano's drawback, which I think is the only time randomness is used as a downside for black, so I feel okay using it as the "breaking" effect.

^that was my challenge for before, but I saw this challenge and love it!!

Similar to Ugin, the Spirit Dragon vs. Nicol Bolas, Planeswalker, I'd imagine Vivien's twin would be similarly creature-oriented, but very different direction. As Vivien means Alive, Morticia is a reference to death:

Morticia, Skullgrafter

Legendary Planeswalker - Morticia

Creatures you control have Undying.

+1: Return target creature card from your graveyard to your hand.

-4: Return target creature card from your graveyard to the battlefield. Then discard a card.

-9: Each player exiles all creature cards from their graveyard, then sacrifices all creatures they control, then puts all cards they exiled this way onto the battlefield.

While Vivien makes spirit creatures, Morticia makes zombies


I'd like to see a common modal (charms, or like Charming Prince types) or split card (Adventures, Kamigawa flips, double-faced cards, etc.).

or, I may have been ninja'd again?

No trouble! I wouldn't sleep on Rakdos, though. Even with a 50% chance of killing each creature, it's probably an equal or better rate than Reaper from the Abyss . I think I'd cut Abyssal Persecutor, since you don't have much that can sac it. If you're looking for early demon plays, Spawn of Mayhem is coming out in the new set. Also, Archdemon of Paliano has no downside outside of its draft format. Mindwrack Demon will help you fill the yard. Rakdos, Lord of Riots plays well into your high CMC stuff. Finally, Taurean Mauler is a staple in most red tribal decks. Also, I would run Bojuka Bog to hose any graveyard deck you're sharing a table with.

A few cards you could consider Shadowborn Apostle or rather a lot of Apostles. If you do end up running them you could also consider Thrumming Stone.

Other just generically good cards are as follows Skirsdag High Priest, Whip of Erebos, Crypt Ghast, Herald of Torment, Archdemon of Paliano, Doom Whisperer, Shadowborn Demon, and Demonlord Belzenlok.
