I'm looking at a lot of decks that include Black and Desecration Demon seems to be one of the most valued and included cards I've ever seen.
However, at $4-7 a pop, they aren't exactly viable for me to just purchase.
Does anyone else know of any black/red card that has a similar power level, but won't make the repomen come take my legs?
Crypt Ghast is in the same slot and is incredibly useful, but serves a different purpose. It's tough to beat a 6/6 flyer for 4 haha.

I remember when this card hit $3. I thought it was insane and traded my 7 off for shocklands. Should've waited lol

So... uhhhh... Crypt Ghast is awesome, but it definitely doesn't fill the same role.

6/6 flier for 4? Not likely to be fulfilled by anything else in Black. You'll have to be content with stuff that have higher mana costs

Rakdos, Lord of Riots has a similar role. He's a bit harder to cast, but can also swing more consistently.

Bloodline Keeper Flip is a good option, this is assuming you're playing casual.

What about Bloodgift Demon ? 1 more mana than Desecration Demon but provides heavy draw power.

Really, i thought they still were a budget rare, no one uses them, meh doesn't matter.
Use Exava, Rakdos Blood Witch she's great and dirt cheap.

They jumped once rotation started looming and all the other OP innistrad 4-drops threatened to leave.

Rakdos, Lord of Riots and Advent of the Wurm Are probably some of the closest contenders. If you can't join 'em, though, just beat 'em.
