This is the most recent iteration of my demon tribal deck; this deck is focused on dumping out heavy hitters quickly via the numerous pinger's in the deck as well as generating large amounts of value while simultaneously maintaining board control.

This deck started it's life as a Rakdos lord of riots creature cheat deck but evolved into this deck after being repeatedly told that Demons were a "meme" tribe and would never be viable at a high power table. Making the switch into golgari gave us access to a few much needed cards to include Heroic intervention, Veil of Summer, Steely Resolve, The Great Henge, Sylvan Library, & much needed enchantment removal in the form of force of vigor, assassins trophy & golgari charm serving the dual purpose of regenerating the board from an inevitable wipe.

The main luxury that Belbe provides is that while she generally will provide less net benefit {per turn} her mana can be spent on anything whereas Rakdos only cares about creatures and often leaves us dry in some of the other much needed spells such as Bolas's Citadel. The other potentially more important benefit to using belbe is that she can easily be cast turn two without needing the many hoops that Rakdos does.

This deck really focuses on generating a lot of mana early game to ensure that we are dropping demons on curve with our opponents who are typically still playing weenies. All of the cards currently in the list have been well thought out but I am open to suggestions. I am trying to min max mana cost to value.
