This is my take on a standard, demon-tribal deck. It is ment to content with the tier-1 decks that are out such as red green agro, esperling decks, bant enchantments,etc. So this is how I the deck broken down- Searing Spear and Pillar of flame - maintain board control or inflict some pain. Pillar is to help with undying/ zombie decks. Dreadbore- spot removal and planeswalker kill Devour Flesh- removal dealing with mostly hexproof and indestructibles. Mutilate - great board sweeper for this pro black deck all that is really needed is 3 swamps to deal with agro on turn four to put them in there place. Bonfire - boardsweeper but a nice win con with the Liliana emblem on the field. Rakdos's return- card advatage and again a nice win con with the lily emblem on the field. Liliana of the Dark Realms- +1 helps put land in my hand especially blood crypts when i need the red mana source. -3 a nice spot mutilate. emblem thats when the party starts. sign in blood- card draw tragic slip- spot removal griselbrand- once he hits that usually a game win. lifelink and card draw. Master of Cruelties- what really inspired this deck. an interesting control card not seeing alot of play and has great potential. Thragtusk and life link decks be damn board wipe and drop this guy and pass turn and see the true fear in your opponents eyes. Desecration Demon- a nice big flyer to contend with others on the board. Also, 9/10 he will survive the mutilate. Vampire NightHawk- nice blocker, lifelink is nice, help protect from annoying flyers such as restoration angel and spirit tokens. Feed back is much appreciated.
