Yo, you! Da freshest mofo at Game Night. You role up in that murdered out Honda Civic and step out with your crew while bumping A$AP Mob; you be that pretty muthafucka. You got your Louis V belt, Gucci kicks, and that fresh Rick Owens jacket. All dem bitches be throwing themselves at you, but naw, ain't about them ratchet hoes. Your opponents think they can run all over your Grixis cruel control. But you're looking fresh to death, and you are ready to win.
Your strategy: stall, control, sack, creatures, sack, sack, swing, win. Boom bitch. Slap that neckbeard ho for talking smack.
Ok, enough with the intro- First of all, any helpful criticism or comments would be greatly appreciated.
This is a deck (U/B/R) that focuses around creature sacking and removal control.
Deck Mechanics:
Through Mogis, God of Slaughter, Desecration Demon, and Devour Flesh, opponents are forced to clear their board position, no matter how beefed up or hexproof, indestructible etc. their creatures are. Hero's Downfall and Doom Blade take care of any other pesky creatures/planeswalkers so you can swing big with
Underworld Cerberus
, Master of Cruelties or Desecration Demon. Mogis, God of Slaughter is in here for the sacrifice/deal damage mechanic, and can quickly become a lethal creature.
This deck is not the quickest to get started, but once you get a creature like a demon on the field, the tides can quickly turn. A major part of this deck is stalling the opponent and destroying their board state. Using devour flesh and removal cards early to remove mana ramping or aggro cards is really important. Nightveil Specter and Ashiok, Nightmare Weaver also play important roles in stealing opponents spells.
Rakdos's Return ruins card advantage and deals damage while Ashiok, Nightmare Weaver (the underrated bastard) ruins scrys and allows for other spells to be played. Jace, Architect of Thought gives card advantage as well as Read the Bones, allowing for you to find and play those crucial creatures.
Chandra, Pyromaster
, that tight bitch's 0 ability is nice for card draw, and +1 can be helpful if I have to deal with blockers while swinging with Master of Cruelties or Nightveil Specter.
Triton Tactics makes Desecration Demon a much more fierce enemy, as it can untap if it is tapped during combatMadcap Skills and
Aqueous Form
not only make a Master of Cruelties win condition more likely, but can help beef up any of my other creature cards. The scry with
Aqueous Form
is also hella helpful.
Help a dawg out and let me know what you think and how I can improve it and make it more competitive. Also, more of a sideboard? Thanks!- SeanDre
