Consider {crypt ghast} to help get you enough mana for bolas faster

Alright, but what should I take out for them.

[Wackaman9001]

{desecration demon}. He is unreliable and only sometimes useful, whereas you pick how useful the ghast is

{desecration demon}. He is unreliable and only sometimes useful, whereas you pick how useful the ghast is

Alright but then I would also need a replacement for the  {Disciple of Bolas} cause  {Desecration Demon} was the ideal sac for  {Disciple of Bolas}

-3 triumph of cruelty
+1 {auger of bolas}
+2 {think twice}

Help you get to the mastermind quicker?  P.s. I like your usage of The disciple with desecration demon

Thanks, and if I did drop the  {Triumph of Cruelty} then I'm worried about not having enough discard for the  {Shrieking Affliction} so is there any replacement for those as well? Or do you think they'll still be fine?

Ok, maybe the  {Crypt Ghast} can take three of those slots but what's a replacement for the other three empty slots

Possibly also  more {Augur of Bolas}es could help its amazing card!

I say something like this:
-3  {Shrieking Affliction}
+2  {Augur of Bolas}
+1  {Crypt Ghast}

[Iandtormentor]

And take out 1 {Consuming Aberration}, 1  {Murder} to make a third ghast. How about that?
