This is my cult-themed deck (clerics/demons), inspired by Innistrad's gothic horror and mainly created for fun and to make my friends groan while I make hilarious comments like "One of us, one of us, one of us". Main deck is modern legal.

Basically the concept is to get a 5/5 demon flyer out as fast as possible either through Archfiend's Vessel or Skirsdag High Priest (best hand is archfiend turn 1, then Village Rites and Unearth to get a demon turn 2). Taborax, Hope's Demise is there to be a midrange threat, but he's mainly a card draw engine (one Village Rites and 3 cards? heck yes) and to take the heat off Skirsdag High Priest. Grim Tutor is there to get the situational pieces: Archfiend's Vessel combo with Village Rites and Unearth, Demon of Death's Gate w/ Essence Harvest , or Westvale Abbey  if I'm getting land flooded and think I can get Ormendahl. Finisher is almost always an Essence Harvest to the face.

18 Lands seems to work pretty well (I don't count Westvale Abbey), normally I'll Village Rites or Sign in Blood early game to hit my land drops and not lose gas. Rite of Belzenlok is there in case the game goes long since its almost the entire deck in one card haha.

The funnest part of this deck is that Demon of Death's Gate doesn't cost mana to play. With all my little clerics, I'll wait til I have 3 lands and an Essence Harvest. Play Demon of Death's Gate through sacrifice, then I still have my 3 lands to go straight to their face for 9 damage and gain a total sum of 3 life. It can be risky, but its so satisfying. Immediately turns the game into a 1-2 turn clock.

Let me know if you have any ideas on more synergy or a card that could be awesome! Right now I'm just tweaking it so it can be more consistent but I really like it so far
