Endrek's Demon Diner

Commander / EDH

Welcome to Endrek's Demon Diner! Our juicy Thrull-burgers are the best in the multiverse! Endrek's burgers are made with only the freshest Thrull-steaks!*

*May contain trace amounts of snake, skeleton, or cockaroach.

___THE PLAN___

+-----Turns 1-4: RAMP!-----+

Hopefully we draw Charcoal Diamond, Sol Ring, Crypt Ghast and Jet Medallion.

Use Liliana of the Dark Realms, Myriad Landscape and Terrain Generator to power out basic lands.

It's also good to start getting some of our non-thrull sac-fodder out in the first couple turns. Endless Cockroaches and Ophiomancer will continue to generate steady value throughout the game.

Reassembling Skeleton is especially good because it essentially allows us to pay 1B for any cards that require a sac-tax (like Eldrazi Monument or Smothering Abomination).

+-----Turns 5-7: Set up the engine.-----+

Play a sac outlet, preferably one that you can use freely as many times as you need: Bloodflow Connoisseur, Viscera Seer, and Phyrexian Plaguelord are perfect for keeping Endrek's thrulls in check.

Ashnod's Altar and Phyrexian Altar are super powerful engines when every creature comes with 4-6 sac-able tokens.

Attrition, Skullclamp, and Thallid Soothsayer cost mana to use, but have very powerful effects.

Smothering Abomination is Endrek's sous-chef. It does everything this deck wants to do, and with Phyrexian Altar on the board, it allows us to chain demons into demons into more demons, drawing a fresh hand of cards every time.

Play out Endrek as soon as you can get him under some protection in the same turn: Champion's Helm, Lightning Greaves, Swiftfoot Boots, or Whispersilk Cloak.

+-----Turns 8-1000: Demon time-----+

Once we have a hexproof Endrek and a sac outlet on the board, it's time to start slamming demons. Generally, the plan is to be able to sac all our thrull tokens between playing each creature. We want Endrek to stay in play and provide us with a sustainable supply of thrulls to sacrifice.

Some specifically synergistic demons:

Demon of Dark Schemes- When it enters the battlefield, it will clear the six thrulls it created. As long as 2 other creatures die, it will come in with enough Energy for 2 activations.

Krav, the Unredeemed- Sacs thrulls, draws cards, gains life... It's perfect.

Ob Nixilis, Unshackled- Since it comes in with 6 thrulls, this should be a 10/10 the turn you play it.

Once we've overwhelmed the table with demons, we play Liliana's Contract (hopefully on our opponent's end step with Vedalken Orrery out) and win! Conspiracy deserves special mention: By naming "demons", we can not only avoid sac-ing Endrek to his own thrulls (ah, demons), but we can trigger Liliana's Contract as soon as we control any four creatures!
