I think a Skirsdag High Priest would fit the flavor pretty well..

hahaha, Wow. That Skirsdag High Priest needs to be in this deck lol I second that
May 10, 2014 2:28 p.m.
I have no idea how I missed that. It's in!
Gotta rework this still; haven't been able to find the time lately. ><
May 11, 2014 12:25 a.m.
Every time I look at this deck I shake my head, seriously such an awesome commander deck, I have every reason to believe that this deck will go off without a hitch, toOoOo much synergy and sillyness hahahaha
May 11, 2014 1:05 a.m.
I have now been inspired. I thought my apostle deck Epic One Drops?was good, but this is epic!
May 11, 2014 1:06 a.m.
Thanks a ton, Mordon327! Yours definitely seems like it could kick some ass in standard. Wish I could provide some suggestions, but standard is not my forte lately. Apostles EDH are definitely fun; I just wish I could afford all the fixings to make this thing perfect. Imperial Seal , Grim Tutor etc are SO FREAKIN' EXPENSIVE.
May 11, 2014 1:34 a.m.
True that! I have just been making decks and wishing that I could actually have them, but such is life lol. At least Tapped Out makes it almost real.
May 11, 2014 1:43 a.m.
That's the beauty of TappedOut. I love building decks on here in theory, going over everything a few hundred times, then finally ordering the cards I need to complete it.
That's how a lot of my decks came to be actually. :)
May 11, 2014 12:15 p.m.
It's been reworked. I unfortunately didn't have room for everyone's suggestions; did some playtesting today against a few other EDH decks from this site. It seems to hold up very well.
May 11, 2014 12:38 p.m.
Love it. was working on something similar and you beat me to the finish. I think Sanguine Bond would be pro, as would Griselbrand nbd demon
May 11, 2014 10:18 p.m.
Yeah... i'm just gonna have to go ahead and copy this commander deck hahaa. Dave your a genius!
I cant see this NOT holding up against even some of the strongest commander decks
May 11, 2014 10:32 p.m.
I'm sorta sorry to hear that, 0verlord. I know how it feels to be beaten to the punch. Isn't Griselbrand completely banned in EDH though?
I would totally rock Sanguine Bond , but my only life-gain is through Exquisite Blood . It would make for a pretty sick finisher, though.
And thanks a ton, Caligula! Remember, this deck wouldn't be half of what it is without your suggestion for the commander. I don't think I'd have clued in, and if I would have, it woulda taken me forever rofl. If you don't use the tutors this deck is like 300$ or so.
May 11, 2014 11:54 p.m.
Well according to T/O Griselbrand is EDH Legal, Says it on the right hand side lol. I don't see how he wouldn't be legal though, He's not super super good like some of the other demons out there. I personally think they'd ban Lord of the Void haha, That guy is a bit silly
Yeah, This deck is totally easy on the budget compared to all the other commander decks you see. It's just silly how much the price jumps from standard play to EDH haha.
Tis why I haven't made a commander deck yet.
May 12, 2014 8:15 a.m.
oh whoops nvm. went of the wizards homepage and yup for some reason hes on the ban list. I thought he was just banned as a commander . Also, Rune-Scarred Demon Edgewalker Whip of Erebos thoughts?
May 12, 2014 10:15 a.m.
Rune-Scarred Demon would be a good fit, A tutor and a fatty in one!
Erebos, God of the Dead might also work for you Dave
Also other fun things Midnight Banshee and Crypt Ghast should go in here and you should maybe think of throwing in Cabal Coffers
Not sure if that's been recommended t o yah
May 12, 2014 10:37 a.m.
I thought I had Cabal Coffers in here. I'm like 100% sure I did. It ninja'd its way out apparently. I think I do need to re-use Rune-Scarred Demon - I actually dropped him when I was reworking.Erebos, God of the Dead could certainly fit in here, but I'm so conflicted with what cards to remove. I don't want to drop down below 43 apostles - I did some rough math and that seems to be the golden number when it comes to draw odds etc.
I want to use Crypt Ghast for some more mana-ramp too, I just don't know what I'd remove. I don't really want the banshee to be honest - the CMC seems too high, and I wouldn't have any way to cheat him out of my deck (except for tutoring + regular casting).
I would love to try Edgewalker 0verlord, but I think the cmc/ 1 white cost on it would hurt me a bit. Whip of Erebos could be awesome if I went the Sanguine Bond route, but I'm aiming for more control over the board as opposed to control over life totals. I'd need to take it in a different direction, but it could work for sure! Maybe in another version of the deck.
May 12, 2014 12:58 p.m.
Honestly Master of the Feast is pretty good for low CMC but giving you opponent an extra card every turn is pretty rough. I'd sub that out pretty quick just due to the apostles in here
May 12, 2014 4:16 p.m.
Group hug, my friend. Group hug. You can totally sub that one out if you want, but I have it in there in case I'm in a casual environment. I like how this deck can perform both ways.
May 12, 2014 7:03 p.m.
YES I FOUND THE BEST CARDS FOR THIS DECK
Infernal Spawn of Evil aaaaand Infernal Spawn of Infernal Spawn of Evil
But on a serious note Elbrus, the Binding Blade Flip , Ob Nixilis, the Fallen , Prince of Thralls These all seem primed to mess people up in this deck
Rakdos, Lord of Riots , Silent-Blade Oni , and Master of Cruelties would be good searchers for the apostles possibly?
May 12, 2014 7:26 p.m.
JESUS CHRIST, I NEED ELBRUS.
I'd have to change my commander for rakdos and the others though. I wanna keep Athreos :D
May 12, 2014 7:38 p.m.
Touche, Master of Cruelties is just mean though. Might be worth the gamble just to cast him via Apostles.
And yes, Elbrus is just RUDE.Turns your apostles into a BEAST
Not to mention he wins multiplayer games single handedly.
May 12, 2014 8:39 p.m.
I'd suggest running Sanguine Bond , it makes an infinite combo with Exquisite Blood . If you gain life or your opponent loses life while you have both out, then you win the game. With how much tutoring you have available, this is an incredibly viable alternate win-con.
You should also DEFINITELY be running Blood Artist . Sac 6 Shadowborn Apostle , your opponent loses 6 life and you gain 6 life... that's amazing synergy!
Also, you're lacking in removal but running the 2 best removal colors in the game. I'd suggest at least throwing a Path to Exile and Swords to Plowshares into the deck to deal with pesky commanders or big baddies, if not a few black destruction spells as well.
Other than those 2 suggestions, I must say... this deck looks incredibly fun to play!

Hahahaha, yeah. Maybe see how much it costs on star city? I use them frequently and they have done awesome. They also have free shipping this month
