Post by: Dmreiss on January 19, 2014, 11:13:33 PM
Consuming Devotion

60 cards, 0 sideboard


3 {Temple of Deceit}
2 {Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx}
8 {Swamp}
3 {Watery Grave}
8 {Island}

24 lands


4 {Wight of Precinct Six}
4 {Consuming Aberration}

8 creatures


4 {Essence Scatter}
4 {Duress}
2 {Dissolve}
2 {Whip of Erebos}
2 {Jace, Memory Adept}
2 {Liliana of the Dark Realms}
4 {Doom Blade}

The idea is to mill to feed the Wight and consuming aberration.

Let me know what you think and what I should add to the sideboard.

Thanks.

I think you could use  {Thoughtseize} and instead if liliana use  {Jace, Architect of Thought}

Solid recommendations, and I will work in that direction. These are what I have now and will be looking to trade for those in the future. Thanks.

I would recommend {devour flesh} as well in main. Just in case you don't have whip you can target yourself and sac your aberration and gain a lot of life and it acts as some sort of removal as well

{PHENAX, god of something}. Play him. MILL

{phenax, god of deception} would be good with {consumming abberation} and the wight, but i would also include carda that have guarenteed toughness like {wall of frost}. two {wall of frost} with a {triton tactics} and phenax lets you mill them for 34 cards.

So after the spoilers the last couple of days this is looking even more relavent. Thanks for all the suggestions.

I am thinking of dropping a consuming aberration and adding 3 nightveil specters.  Thoughts?

good for devotion but bad for toughness. are you just considering {nightveil specters} to try to turn phenax on? i think your better off just using defenders and consumming ab as a finisher.
