House of the Shadowborn, feedback wanted
this ever could be viable deck in standard?
I think the best deck I've seen with Shadowborn Apostle was the one posted by buffy that uses Sphinx of the Chimes to filter through the deck almost infinitely.
You can find the deck here.

I personally life the Sire Of Insanity + Shrieking Affliction combo. You won't really need a hand, and they probably will.

As much as I like Shadowborn Apostle , it's more of a gimmick and isn't really viable for competitive standard as you sac the 6 Apostle's and get your demon it'll get hit by Hero's Downfall or something like that then will have to start all over

@ pingpongball120 might be true,there isnt much room for any safers he ? :)but thats just one card ,apostle come back (hopefully) and ofc bit hoping ppl would come up with some nice alternatives.im playing since theros ,so theres many cards i havent seen yet.And it sometimes hard finding something if you dont know what to look for.

@raaymakers, I don't mean to be rude at all, but I couldn't understand anything you just said in that last comment except that you've been playing since theros

@ pingpongball120 :) trying to say there isnt much room form some interupts to save my keycardsand bout the shadowborn apostle and maybe demon in worser cases tehy could come back with the angel/gift of immortality

@raaymakers: Yeah I don't know if I'd keep it exactly as-is. I think an Esper deck with Immortal Servitude and Sphinx of the Chimes could do some serious damage.
