Much needed update. —Feb. 12, 2017
It's been a while since I logged onto Tappedout to update my decks, but I have been making changes to this deck since my last update back in 2015. Sorry to everyone whose comments I missed!
-
Dropped a few of my demons for some new ones that perform better (Demon of Dark Schemes, Mindwrack Demon, Havoc Demon).
-
Added Void and Anger of the Gods because they're sweet and fit my game plan of "kill at least two things with every card". Void, in particular, is really fun to cast.
-
Thinking of dropping Skullclamp and the remnants of my "clamp package" (Reassembling Skeleton, Nether Traitor). This would free up 3 spots in the deck for new sweet cards. At some point someone suggested Assault Suit and Rakdos's Return. Both feel like flavour wins, so I might start there.
Really nice list. I think I'll have to try this deck although it will face a lot of hate in my meta. Currently my Gisela, Blade of Goldnight uses a lot of board wipes and lockdown with enchantments but this list seems a bit more brutal.Good job +1

Choice of Damnations is fun... not the best card, but definitely fun.

May I ask why you do not have Rakdos, Lord of Riots in here? The flavor of both Rakdos' is awesome, but if you're sacrificing permanents you may want a way to cast your creatures for less right? Also if you're playing Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth you may want to look into Cabal Coffers, Crypt Ghast and Magus of the Coffers. They all help fix your mana even if you have few lands. Also, in order to control your opponent, have you looked into cards to make them discard? Rakdos's Return and Triumph of Cruelty? Smokestack and Pox also seem like they would fit in well here.

Filth would be a good addition. Nothing like giving ole Rakdos swampwalk and with urborg there will be swamps to walk on!
