Muhahaha my evil plan worked! just an FYI tho it is GIR all caps =D.

On a more practical note, thanks Tian I was lookin at that Geist too! It might just be put up there as one of greens most loved creatures. Kitchen Finks comes to mind

blooooood for the blood god!!!

I think i would cut the hight cost stuff

-2 rune demon-2 bloodgift-2 reaper from the abyss-2 tutor

+1 priest+4 oblivion ring+2 unburial rites+1 doomed travellers

Haha Im sorry man, Im leeching wifi too so it took me like 10 minutes just to change that =P. I decided that yea If i want the high cost stuff, which I do because Its demon based so yea =P I need to add green for ramp. I have the dual lands to pull it off so im not too worried.

With the slagstorm or even Rolling Tremblor in mind Im gonna cut a few permenant humans and put in two more Gather the Townsfolk I cant think of any other instant human makers at this time.

Maybe cut the Elite Vanguard and Doomed Traveler for Champion of the Parish especially because doomsayer puts a new human on the field every turn.

Good point, Mini combo material.

I would also be cautious with Reaper from the Abyss in that it will kill your own stuff sometimes, and in that point of the game, with only Reaper and Parallel Lives . Another card to consider is Village Cannibals or Unruly Mob .

Use Sun titan to bounce humans from your graveyard to feed Archdemon of greed

Penumbra says... #12

Im hesitent to cut the reaper because I pulled alot of them and really wanna use them in a deck =(. I think It might be a good idea to cut them for the parallel lives, that could work well. I also like Village Cannibals in this deck but I dont really know if I have the room.

@ Numbplayer Sun Titan is a good choice normally but in this deck the mana curve is a bit saturated at those high CMCs and Unburial Rites takes care of recursion of everything instead of just the low cost humans. Besides if archdemon of greed is transformed its probably a max of two hits until I win thats three humans and with token production is not to hard to manage. Thanks though!

+1 for the name alone. Haha

Penumbra says... #17

=P like I said before, my evil plan is working people see Invader Zim references and they +1!

That being said im grateful to everyone who actually analyzed the deck as well and found it good or had suggestions.

dooom doom doom dooom doom doom!

Fuckin' read my mind. I wanted to work a similar concept as soon as I saw all the Human love and Ravenous Demon  Flip  Flip.

I was even thinking of how to work Ravenous Demon  Flip  Flip to ping you for 18 to activate Fateful Hour for some cool tricks. Idk there aren't enough cards that makes it safe in DA . . . yet . . .

I think you should use Unruly Mob instead of Diregraf Ghoul or, even better, Doomed Traveler .

and instead of Unburial Rites , what about Sun Titan to smooth the curve?

Disciple of Griselbrand could rein in a broken Ravenous Demon  Flip  Flip, so could Village Bell-Ringer .

There's also Elder Cathar to consider, Mausoleum Guard (I like this one), Mentor of the Meek , Onyx Mage , Thraben Sentry  Flip  FlipMTG Card: Thraben Militia, etc.

Slayer of the Wicked will probably be crucial in DA meta for Gravecrawler and the like. Would help fill up your 4 drops.

+1, Invader Zim reference win

Well seeing that Phyrexian Unlife is still standard that could be a way to get a little extra wiggle room but would still be dangerous. I feel like fateful hour is less about trying to get those effects and more about saving you in a time of crisis.

I would support Doomed Traveler instead of Diregraf hw was in my first edition of the deck then got taken out and i forgot about him.

Sun Titan being in here is a twofold problem, one i really dont want him in this deck and I dont own any =P. I dont know but it is personal preference, i like five being my top of the curve and i know that its a bit crowded but i just like unburial rites better.

The thing is that both those cards are human in themselves, Village Bell Ringer might be alright and could win me games if people believe that my demon is going to kill me or that it cannot attack. If I have desciple of grislbrand out I could just sac him to the demon as soon as use his ability.

Not a huge fan of any of those, Onyx Mage is nice so maybe ill test it out with him.

SLayer of the wicked = definite sideboard for this deck. Thanks for the comments!

Jokernaught says... #20

I think I am in love. That demon in there has sooooo much potential. In every format. Is that card supposed to make me feel evil and all powerful? haha anyway +1 for a little Invader Zim and the nicely built W/B

Strangelove says... #21

Looks sick!

-1 Tribute to Hunger -1 Onyx Mage , +2 Doomed Traveler imo. The Mage is kind of like a legendary, you don't really want more than one in play. Unlike Doomed Traveler , which has great synergy.

Penumbra says... #22

True, I just wish that they made HUMAN spirit tokens instead of just spirit tokens =(. And thanks man.

January 10, 2012 7:34 p.m.

Strangelove says... #23

Haha Human Spirit tokens would be so broken!

sample101 says... #24

I rather think that more Unburial Rites . Whatever you think though. I personally like having more demon fuel.

January 10, 2012 9:12 p.m.

+1 from me mate for the name and the entire concept of the deck. I've wanted to do an angels and demons deck for a while using the phyrexian angels, but i like this take on it much better than my own. maybe a Shimmering grotto or 2 to help fix mana issues but otherwise nicely done i look forward to future updates as we get more awesome things from DA!
