Deck discussion for The Shadowborn Gang

This would be awesome for Standard if Innistrad wasn't cycling out. I recommend putting Shadowborn Demon in, since he is a powerful creature for 5 mana as well as removal spell all in the same card. If you plan to use this outside of Standard, Harvester of Souls and Griselbrand are great for drawing the Apostles as well as Immortal Servitude, Blood Artist would leech your opponent's life away every time you sacrifice one of the Apostles, and Reaper from the Abyss has a Morbid effect that can destroy a non-Demon creature if a creature died this turn, which would obviously be the Apostle.

Well I wanted to keep it standard legal for after Innistrad cycles out. But the reason I didn't add shadowborn demon is because I think the demons I have here are better. and I wanted to keep a high number of shadowborn apostles to ensure that you can lay them down.

You might want to sideboard some spells that destroy artifacts because one Pithing Needle can really throw this deck off. Also, other than for pure power, I don't see a use for Rakdos at all in this deck. It could be useful for its last ability, but I'd prefer Shadowborn Demon over it, since you have to deal damage to cast Rakdos if you don't have enough Apostles on the field, whereas Shadowborn Demon can be cast right away and help remove a pesky creature they control. You don't have to drop Rakdos, but maybe do away with at least one Xathrid Necromancer instead for it. That's just my personal preference.

I like rakdos though because I can use the apostle's to get lord of the void out, and if rakdos happens to be in my hand he should be fairly easy to cast unless my opponent has an immediate response. But now that I think about it, I do think that I will take out a xathrid, and a master of cruelties for 2 shadowborn demons. Thanks man! :D

Some draw feels like it would pamper this up some. I do agree with the artifact/enchantment destruction though as posted above.

I do like the idea of adding in some draw, just wish sign in blood wasn't about to cycle out. :/ but underworld connections will do. and yea I finally got around to looking for sideboard cards. was debating between rakdos charm and smelt. decided on the rakdos charm because it's more versatile.
