Spiteful Visions might be your cup of tea, not sure if it's exactly what you were going for or not

SlappyBob, that card is right up my my alley for what I want to do, and I was running four of them. However, I actually just took those out :/ The reason being that they seemed a little slow. I ended up replacing Spiteful Visions with discard and Liliana's Caress. I appreciate the suggestion though! Thanks man!

I almost wonder if you could combine Harmless Offering with some creature that forces draws. I love the concept, and I hope you find what you're looking for!! +1

Thanks DavidLikesPeaches, yeah I am definitely a fan of weird shenanigans since I usually play freeforall with buddies. So I like where your head is at. Also, I have never seen a red Donate before, that would be sweet if I could incorporate it somehow!

Oooo, Sin Prodder forces draws!! Paralyze that sucker and reap the benefits!!

Hm, reading Sin Prodder I think it doesn't actually make anyone draw since it doesn't say draw. I believe it just places the card into a hand after no one has it deal damage to them. However, I feel like it might be a nice card to have on the field under my control instead of giving it to my opponent.

also Smallpox

OOoo nice! I could definitely see myself throwing a Sire Of Insanity in. I love demons, and I love discard. As for Smallpox, I feel like it might set me back, considering I rely on getting Rakdos Cackler out early with a Fists of the Demigod for some heavy early damage (or block). I will definitely play test it a bit and see how it goes!

This title is banging.

Master of the Feast is one of my favorite demons, I'm glad to see him be used as such a powerhouse. This must be a delightfully disorienting deck to play against. Solid deck concept.

If you don't mind jank, consider using Chains of Mephistopheles. Horn of Greed could be stylish, too and fits within your comfy 3CMC range, but I think your deck is pretty tight as it is. The weakest link would probably be Hymn to Tourach if anything.

True, yeah :) I love demons too, there are so many cards like Sire Of Insanity I want to use in decks. Always so hard to include fun cards like that. Also Master of Cruelties is frikken hilarious if he does his thaaaaang, hes also looks cool as heck

Desecration Demon is tite too. Really efficient card I find, he dropped a lot in price and hes just another cool demon

yoooooooo you could consider splashin blue for like Fevered Visions might be difficult, but that enchantment is sick af... Cerebral Vortex Runeflare Trap

Thanks much Spookypatootie I appreciate it. I did consider Chains of Mephistopheles (just a little expensive). I was also looking at Uba Mask to counteract the drawing cards, but it kind of went against how I wanted to play the deck. As for Hymn to Tourach, I just love the random discard and four damage from Liliana's Caress a little too much to get rid of it haha (not sure what I could replace them with)

March 20, 2017 11:59 a.m.

droslag, I originally had Desecration Demon in because it's badass, but it was pulling away from my drawing and discarding mechanics. As for splashing blue: it's reeeaalllyy tempting, but I don't know what I would take out, and I'm also pretty bad at balancing lands in a deck that is more than two colors. Maybe in the future I'll attempt it!

I think you can lose the Rakdos Cackler and Fists of the Demigod; the former is too low impact and the latter only works well with Rakdos Cackler (for full value). They are kind of random. You could play Waste Not which would give you a ton of value in this sort of deck. Or you can probably use those slots for more staple discard and removal such as Inquisition of Kozilek, Thoughtseize, Fatal Push and Lightning Bolt. 15 lands is also much much too low and you should go up to at least 18-20. Geier Reach Sanitarium will fit your gameplan quite well. Bloodstained Mires will be great if you have them.

zephyr_chang, Really good suggestions thank you! The Rakdos Cackler was in there for just early game blocking and to trigger Kederekt Parasite's ability. I'm definitely looking to get rid of those Fists of the Demigod... As for Thoughtseize, and some of the other suggestions, they were a bit too expensive for me (since this was kind of a budget deck). I will most definitely try out Waste Not as well as Geier Reach Sanitarium. Their synergy with the rest of the deck is sick!

I completely missed the part with Kederekt Parasite that it needed a red permanent. My bad. Let me search for a red permanent that will do the job better than Rakdos Cackler.

zephyr_chang, that would be awesome if you did! I seriously couldn't find anything besides him.. :\

I love the deck idea! My friend runs a similar deck using U/B instead. Since Kederekt Parasite is so weak to removal, I'm expecting it to provide minimal impact on most games before being dealt with. Some copies of Underworld Dreams would be much more reliable, although undoubtedly much slower. If you're dead set on the parasite, I've seen other players drop a couple of lands for 4x Veinfire Borderpost.

Example:

  1. Veinfire Borderpost
  2. Land, 2x Kederekt Parasite
  3. Liliana's Caress, Burning Inquiry to deal 12 damage

On another note, you might benefit from a few copies of Reforge the Soul as a more powerful version of Collective Defiance that also refuels your hand.

K_Train, great suggestions! I really dig the Veinfire Borderpost. I'll probably take out the Geier Reach Sanitarium for those, and for sure add in some Reforge the Soul's as well! I have a couple Underworld Dreams in the deck I physically have. Feels like I never get to play them when I have three mana since there are other cards for the same CMC I'd generally cast instead. Thanks much!

And now you have a turn 3 nut draw!

Play two Kederekt Parasites on turn two, and by some miracle (fitting for the card type) you top deck Reforge the Soul next turn. Play it for two mana, draw into Burning Inquiry and deal 20 damage of burn on turn 3!

August 2, 2017 3:03 p.m.

Wow, I didn't even see that! I dig where your head is at K_Train!

I'm trying to build something similar, but focusing on the draw damage for now at least... Anyway, Flameblade Adept comboes nicely with Burning Inquiry and Reforge the Soul, and activates Kederekt Parasite ability.
