This decklist is a WIP for my take on the Shirei/Shadowborn Combo. This was a decklist I wrote up somewhere else and posted here to try out TappedOut's deckbuilder.

For those who don't know how it works, the Shadowborn Apostle + Shirei, Shizo's Caretaker Combo uses Shirei's ability to sacrifice the Apostles every turn and continually tutor demons to the field.

The rest of the deck is utility cards, board wipes, and the like. I have a lot of the core demons, so any and all suggestions for the rest of the deck (EDH staples, good mana rocks, etc.) is much appreciated. Thanks!
