Ademas Grim Monolith va en esa version de cartas "world championship" con el borde dorado.

El funcionamiento del deck:

This deck works on the base of Shirei, Shizo's Caretaker (as the reanimator of the apostles) and the Shadowborn Apostle to get cards out of the library or produce other effects.

As mana ramps, I use: Sol Ring, Dark Ritual, Lotus Bloom, Coalition Relic and Grim Monolith. These mana are usually used on cast Shirei, Shizo's Caretaker or Thrumming Stone.

As protection to the Commander, I use Swiftboot Boots or Whispersilk Cloak.

As cards that emulate the commander's effect, I use Lifeline, Balthor the Defiled or Patriarch's Bidding.

As it will be explained, in this deck is very important the use of Thrumming Stone. That is the reason why it is protected by Trading Post or Buried Ruin.

Playing the deck:

As manners to get cards out of the library, I use: 6 apostles + Shizo + Rune-Scarred Demon (or/plus Thrumming Stone). Besides, there are three tutor/drawing cards: Diabolic Tutor, Demonic Tutor and Diabolic Intent.

Win coins:

a) Apostles + (Hatred or Vicious Betrayal) + Shizo, Death's Storehouse.

b) Mutilate + Rise of the Dark Realms

c) Cards that works with the apostles, as: Coat of Arms/Blood Artist/ Extractor Demon/Grave Pact/Xathrid Necromancer/Rotlung Reanimator

d) Apostles sacrifice + Mortal Combat

Finally, I have recently decided to remove the following combo: Apostles + (Pirexian Altar or Culling the Weak) + (Exsanguinate or Drain Life) from the deck, because I had to decide if I included Rotlung Reanimator, Xathrid Necromancer, or this. The problem with this combo is that requires several conditions: The apostles drawn with Thrumming Stone and then at least two of the cards related to this combo. The both cards that put tokens are much more direct.
