Masterful, jelwell

It was only the 1 game that I got color screwed and I ended up winning the game at the end so perhaps it was an outlier. I'll continue playing without the fetches and see.

The more I think on it the less I like either of the Dominus. Although they play into Teysa, they don't do anything more efficiently than what we're currently doing. Luminous Broodmoth is better not only because it's cheaper but we can also get some ETB effects from our tutor/fetch creatures. I definitely would never swap out Razaketh, the Foulblooded as he can simply end games being out and unanswered. The same could not be said for Drivnod.

That was four demons: Kothophed, Soul Hoarder, Griselbrand, Razaketh, the Foulblooded, and Demonlord Belzenlok

AceDallenbach thanks for your suggestions, As you say, Skullclamp would also be good to use, but it doesn't quite fit my idea personally.

Tragic Slip is very interesting and I'll give that a try and see if Dismember or Tragic Slip makes more sense in my meta.

Razaketh, the Foulblooded I had already considered and even put him in the folder, but the sacrifice put me off. If I see how consistently I'm allowed to keep my tokens, it could actually go into the deck.

Agadeem's Awakening  ^Flip I forgot, of course it can replace a swamp.

I was unsure if Bubbling Muck or Dark Ritual... but yeah you're right, in the late game it's stronger and it's not said that Dark Ritual is on one of the early ones hands is...

Darkness and Reanimate are both very strong cards for the deck, I'll test which one is more rewarding in practice.

I will try the suggestions step by step and the ones that were convincing will go into the deck :-)

Hey honestly this current build is pretty solid. Skullclamp came to mind and since you are running Bitterblossom and Ophiomancer there is some synergy that could argue for the extra-card draw.

I also saw you are running Dismember not a bad card by any means, but what about Tragic Slip? Personally I find it preforms better in this slot, sure it isn’t as versatile but creature deaths are very common and you have the means to force creature deaths to where the -13/-13 is most likely going to be the outcome.

Razaketh, the Foulblooded is expensive in both money and mana but it wins games. Pay two life to tutor is gross.

Harvester of Souls is a personal favorite but I don’t know if you have enough creatures to justify it.

Agadeem's Awakening  ^Flip there really isn’t a reason not to run this card in most black decks. Worst case its a swamp that costs you 3 life to play early game. late game it can bring back anything that was removed in the early game. It’s super-flexible strongly recommend it.

I’m going to suggest Bubbling Muck. I love Dark Ritual early game but the bubbles is so strong late game, especially if you are going to win by casting Torment of Hailfire.

Lastly Darkness. Really love a fog in a non-green color, especially with this deck. I see anyone playing this deck quickly turning into the archenemy of the table since most do not like stack effects which is what this deck is. Feign Death is a cool card since it can save a creature from a broad range of removal but I still think Reanimate or Darkness would be a better card in that slot.

Anyways hope this helped, great deck!

Burning-Rune Demon and Rune-Scarred Demon both seem very powerful. Razaketh, the Foulblooded to a lesser extent.

Wickked I actually specifically avoided Liliana's Contract for this one; I always enjoy a cheap corny win, but I wanted this deck to be pure demonic face smashing.

I had considered Razaketh, the Foulblooded, and it's still on my short list for potential addition as the deck gets some final tweaks. I'll actually put it in the list right now and see how it feels.

I'll try switching out some of the artifacts for sorcery ramp.

Thanks for the thoughts, and thanks for stopping by!

I think there isn´t enough big beaters, specially if you are able to cheat them, things like: Sheoldred, Whispering One, Archon of Cruelty or Razaketh, the Foulblooded.

DemonDragonJ on Is Razaketh a Good Match …

I am currently building a black/white EDH deck with Liesa, Shroud of Dusk as the general, and, as with all of my EDH decks, it contains Ring of Three Wishes, but I recently have been realizing that the ring is not nearly as good as I originally thought that it was, so I am considering replacing it with Razaketh, the Foulblooded, since he can take advantage of that deck's theme of gaining life and using that life as a resource.

However, I have two concerns about Razaketh; first, he costs 8 mana to summon, but this deck does have eight mana-generating artifacts, so I am not overly concerned about that; and, second, he requires that I sacrifice a creature to use his ability. The deck does have two cards that generate tokens, plus numerous ways to reanimate creatures (it is a black and white deck, after all), but I would like to ask for the feedback of the other users here, before I make a final decision.

What does everyone else here say? Is Razaketh, the Foulblooded a good inclusion in my Liesa, Shroud of Dusk deck?
