Always wanted to brew a Shadowborn deck, didn’t want to just copy JLK of game knights fame.

Nalia de'Arnise set off the Johnny in my brain.

Combo is dump 6 Shadowborns to fetch Rune-Scarred Demon, Etb fetches Edgewalker.

Various ways to put shadowborns back on top to cast for free.

A good combo is Mortuary, which if I understand the stack correctly would work as follows.

Sacrifice 6 Shadowborns. - triggers on stack, stack the triggers so mortuary resolves after the Shadowborns, so we tutor a demon, shuffle, resolve the 6 individual mortuary triggers to put the Shadowborns back on top to cast again for free.

From here we only need to fetch Razaketh to tutor a free sac outlet, Phyrexian altar or altar of dementia to allow unlimited free sacrifices with a pay off blood artist effect.

Dreadhound works well here as can be tutored with the shadowborns too.

The rest of the deck is removal and utility type cards to protect our position in the game before the combo.

Any advice welcome :)

Happy demoning
