Budget Notes

If you are not worried about budget then replace:

• 2x Abyssal Persecutor with 2x Desecration Demon, and
• 4x Rakdos Carnarium with 4x Dragonskull Summit

Future Updates

• I need to find a way to put Killing Wave back in since it is not only good removal but it will also help Bloodghast and Tymaret, the Murder King.
• I may try to include the Liquimetal Coating + Crush combo rather than focus on so many direct land destruction cards.
• Desecration Demon is a little expensive for a budget deck. Unless I can cut costs in other areas I may have to find a suitable replacement.

For now, this deck is a prototype. It lacks a hard hitting win condition, a draw mechanic, fetching mechanism and a suitable defense against creatures summoned in the first few turns. But the biggest problem is that Bloodghast can't block.

Unupdated Description

I'm getting to it.

[Show][Hide]
The idea:

• Summon a Bloodghast and continuously keep bringing it back by summoning lands.
• While Bloodghast attacks destroy the opponents lands with the long list of land destruction cards in this deck.
• Use a board wipe when creatures on the field become too much for Bloodghast to deal with.

If budget is not a problem then replace the 4x Blasphemous Act and 4x Killing Wave with 4x Damnation 2x Blasphemous Act and 2x Killing Wave.

I would like to implement some fetch lands such as Evolving Wilds and Terramorphic Expanse to keep Bloodghast in play but I would prefer lands that produce mana as well as fetch if that is possible.

Any help would be appreciated.
