Title: Shadowborn
Post by: Prplprince on January 24, 2014, 10:07:40 PM
Ladies and gents I've been in love with  {Lord of the Void} but of course he is to fat to be viable in the fast pace world of standard. I've wanted to build a  {Shadowborn Apostle} deck but I can't build something that's good enough even as a casual standard. Here is the basic idea I have so far.

2-4 {Blood crypt}
2-4 {Temple of Malice}
X {Swamp}
3-4 {Lord of the Void}
1-2 {Master of Cruelties}
2 {Shadowborn Demon}
2-4 {Desecration Demon}
20(+/-) {Shadowborn Apostle}
2 {Immortal Servitude}
4 {Underworld Connections}

The rest I could use some help on any and all help is appreciated

{Rogue's Passage} to get {Master of Cruelties} through unblocked maybe?

{Crypt Ghast} is you want to try ramping into some of the more expensive casting cost guys.  You'd really want to be careful with your mana base if you did this though.  You'd want most to be swamps (basics or shocks).

Very true! Also try to have some not a lot but still some form of removal like {Devour Flesh} {Heros Downfall} {Doom Blade} etc. again not a lot but I'd say 6 slots should have removal

Would be but I don't have any life gain which scares me. I'm considering a whip or elixir just because if that
