As soon as I saw the card Shadowborn Apostle, I knew I wanted to build a deck around it and this is what I've come up with. The idea is to kill your opponent useing Purphoros, God of the Forge 2D. E.T.B. effect with Shadowborn Apostles and Xathrid Necromancers triggered ability. Bubbling Cauldron is in there for life gain and really works well with Xathrid Necromancer which then triggers my god. Immortal Servitude becomes deadly in this deck and Read the Bones plus Altar's Reap keep my hand full. I decided to throw a Mutavault into the land. In a pinch I could sac it to Bubbling Cauldron or Altar's Reap and with its "all creature types" quality, it would also trigger Xathrid Necromancer. Comments/Suggestions? Thankyou for looking, Happy playing.
