Deck Description

the ideal is to play demons using shadowborn and the get those shadowborns back into your hand or on the battlefield. there are other creatures in there to take advantage of the fact your creatures died like xathrid and blood artist

How to Play

use shadowborn apostle to get your demons out and take advantage of creatures when they die with blood artist and xathrid.

thrumming stone is so you can get your apostles out faster.

keep your card draw up with griselbrand and bloodgift.

try to keep your shadowborn out of the grave using athreos, grimoire of the dead, and immortal servitude.

also try to keep your opponents field clear using nefarox, and archfiend.

Deck discussion for shadow demons

Ok there are some good synergies here that I like. Xathrid and artist are great and I like the idea of thrummingstone. Needs more apostles tho

That being said there are some definite changes I'd make to make the deck both more functional and easier on your wallet.
Take out everything that's white! Go black/green instead. Take out athreos, thrummingstone, enlightened tutor, and grimoire of the dead. I'd also recommend a different set of demons. Keep grisel and ditch the rest. Add 2-3 Rune-scarred Demon, and maybe 2 Demon of deaths gate since you don't HAVE to have 6 apostles to play him. Lastly maybe 1 Lord of the Void since he's a damn beast against AGGRO decks.

To replace thrummingstone and immortal servitude I recommend a playset of Bloodbond March. It's less mana than thrumm and will combo off faster. Bloodbond March also makes Xathrid less necessary so is drop him for 2 more blood artists.

Thinking the Deck should look like this

24x Shadowborn Apostle
4x Blood Artist
1x Lord of the Void
3x Rune- Scarred Demon
1x Griselbrand
2x Demon of Death's Gate
4x Bloodbomd March
1x Lightning coils
4x Evolving Wilds
4x Terramorphic Expanse
8x Swamp
4x Forest
