Wanted to use Demonic Pact with
Daring Thief
and Harmless Offering with cards that ain't so great for the opponent (
Aggressive Mining
, as well).
Deck name and main combo by Daeluin.
Cheap enchantments and enchantment creatures like Hypnotic Siren to spirit away with daring or harmless offering, swapping for other enchantments with no benefit of control, like
Encrust
, Mark of Eviction (which helps with bouncing back Demonic Pact), .
Treacherous Pit-Dweller for a cheap beatstick that can be Vapor Snagged back to my hand,
Abyssal Persecutor
for another that can be donated or swapped (or bounced back) after opponent's life <0.
Artifact disruption with
Encrust
,
Bronze Bombshell
swap, and Steel Golem swap.
Card disruption post-bounce (or Remand) with Warped Devotion, Thoughtseize, Demonic Pact mode 2.
Clearly needs lands and paring down.
Thoughts: Wanted to include Ral Zarek in case of planeswalkers, and his tap, untap can be used for
Daring Thief
, but think he might not be great.
I think
Lich's Tomb
might be cool to give them and then swap back, but probably also too slow.
Included Paradise Mantle to help
Daring Thief
activate and for ramp.
Removed Warped Devotion because I thought it might be too slow, and want to keep it as multi-modal (Grixis Charm) as possible.
A lot (too many, perhaps) 3 CMC cards.
Have thought about adding Clever Impersonator for more Demonic Pact fun, splashing white for flickers for post 3rd Demonic Pact mode and Path to Exile for sheer control and land advantage post-swap. Celestial Dawn would neuter opponents quickly.
