Had to sift through so many good movies to find the title of a horrid one to reference, even the name sounds cheesy.

Hour of Devastation Changes — Aug. 23, 2017
Edit

So a much delayed update to this deck, but I was laid up all summer after having my knee worked on so I'm getting to it now.

After looking through the cards for Hour of Devastation and playing the deck as it is now, I've decided to make the following changes:

IN

Apocalypse Demon - I plan to fill my own yard anyways, and this deck usually has some form of a board presence so it can stick around for some nasty hits.
Bubbling Muck - Let's face it, sometimes Crypt Ghast just isn't enough. If you're doing this to win with a big Exsanguinate or you just need more mana, this is a nice way to get there.
Hazoret's Undying Fury - Wow, this card is just value here really. I'm dropping the curve with the cards I'm taking out and lowering the land count, so this is gonna be pretty likely to hit hard.
Torment of Hailfire - While the main focus is making ME discard, it's important to keep my opponents off of everything they have. This is a great way to do it.
Torment of Scarabs - Like the above, but it sticks around for a bit.

OUT

Scion of Darkness - As much as I love this card for sentimental reasons, it just doesn't ever hit the field. It costs too much and its effect doesn't really make a splash when other similar effects come out much earlier.
Hollowborn Barghest - It's a great thing late game, but it's clunky and a dead draw if the game just isn't going you way. It feels like a "win more" card.
Ghirapur Orrery - While fun, it doesn't really contribute to the theme and can hurt more than it helps.
The final cut is two basics, bringing the land count to 34. If this ends up not working well the change is easy to reverse.

Overall the deck is coming along nicely, but it still is rough around the edges. Budget decks are hard to streamline simply because better cards tend to cost more, but this has been very effective in the games I've played. It has consistent resource denial through symmetrical discard, and you still get benefits from it all simply because that's what the deck is built to do. Geth's Grimoire really pulls its weight here, turning symmetrical discard into huge card advantage for you. Pair that with consistent creature removal and you can spell trouble for your opponents.
