Omen Burn Machine V.1
7 years ago
I luuuurve omen machine. Played it in a janky funny standard deck back in the days (Omen Machine + Tezzeret, Agent of Bolas). But... your deck has several problems:
urzatron. Urza lands are hard to assemble, and you need to have one of each in actual play, before they give you more than one, single, colorless mana. 2 of each, and no way of searching them up, is not going to work for you.
Firebolt is not modern legal.
Omen Machine is worded "players can't draw cards". Nahiri, the Harbinger has the wording "...if you do, DRAW a card". Clue tokens have the wording "...Sacrifice this artifact: DRAW a card". DRAW is not what you want cards to say, that you use with omen machine. Of course, you might have brought in Tamiyo's Journal to use as a tutor. A 5 mana tutor, which has to wait for 3 turns, before it can tutor anything. That's a really bad tutor.
you seem to rely on having, and playing, Omen Machine early. You have 2 copies of it. You have 2 possible tutors in 1 and 3 copies, none of which will search for it until turn 6. This is not how you get to play a card early or consistently.
consider that you have an Omen Machine in play. The game is now changed into you and your opponent flipping topdecks each turn, and hoping to have the better card. Is Riot Devils really what you want to flip? Or Pitchburn Devils?
unless you have a very sure way of getting to discard your cards, Fiery Temper is much worse than Lightning Bolt. I don't see anything other than nahiri to make you discard.

The First EDH-Devil Deck Ever!

Pheardemons Perfect answer, thanks. I thought the same with Riot Devils, could surely be switched with a colossus. Good point with Mana Echoes, it's sometimes a little confusing what to do if you read the first comment and your comment hehe. The deck also have a lot of other ramp so Mana Echoes could probably be switched. But if I included both colossus, wouldn't it be nice with the Mana Echoes so I also could cast something else on such turn? I'm personally pretty found of Sarkhan's Triumph. The deck's other tutor spells are really expensive and Sarkhan's Triumph can only find wincon cards. I've just added Spawn of Thraxes so even more to find, also with this few inst./sorc. Charmbreaker Devils would probably often get to return Sarkhans Triumph ... I've just created this deck, I'm somehow new to MTG and haven't even tried to play the deck yet, so I'm not all sure on my own opinion. Thank you for helping!

I know you want to keep the devil theme but Riot Devils doesn't have any effect whatsoever. Also Mana Echoes seems somewhat irrelevant being that few of your cards are expensive and in EDH you'll get enough mana to hard cast everything. Helpful in a sense but not one I see you tutoring for. Also Sarkhan's Triumph is only there for a couple of cards. Maybe a card that would be more beneficial to the deck as whole. Those are cards that I possibly see being taken out.
