Title: thinking of re starting standard
Post by: MtgCollector1337 on March 11, 2014, 04:26:45 PM
I'm thinking of restarting standard and go back. I quit last month for some reasons...
I have started building a Red-Black Dragon Demon deck.
You guys have any card suggestions? Here's what I have so far:
3x {Forgestoker Dragon}
1x {Master of Cruelties}
2x {Doom Blade}
2x {Eater of Hope}
6x {Shadowborn Apostle}
1x {Shadowborn Demon}
I just don't know what to add!

Honestly with the current avg build.

You need an anti RDW condition.

Red has alot of "cast a spell, something triggers"

Perhaps a rakdos burn deck? Win com master of cruelties!

I have 14, but that's probably too many! Maybe 8 or 10?

I like that.
How about Burn/Kill Rakdos? Black is mostly a kill color.

More like 25+
You only need 3 lands to win the game, so why waste space with anything but apostles? A buttload of apostles and a massive demon... Funniest deck ever

I play a SBA deck, and I use 21 of them. A great card with that deck is 4x  {Immortal Servitude} and then the following demons:
{Sire of Insanity}
{Lord of the Void}
{Shadowborn Demon}
4x  {Desecration Demon}

Then:
4x  {Gift of Orzhova}
4x  {Cremate}
16x  {Swamp} (yes i only use Zendikar lands :) )
4x  {Temple of Malice}


The sure is great for control because you make them play or flay. Dessy Demons are nice all around. Immortal servitude brings back all your SBA's at once from graveyard for 4, and the rest are just mean. Throw in  {Master of Cruelties} if you want to be really mean. Temple of malice is nice for red mana and for scrying out those apostles.

I went 12/0/0 at last Friday's FNM with that deck and no sideboard.

I have a Master of Cruelties, and that card is just evil (hehehehe)
I cannot find any Dessy Demons, since they are becoming more popular.
I want to make a B/R Burn-Kill deck. BUT I only want to use Demons and Dragons, so that will be tough (considering it's for Standard).
