This deck was built to try and stand up against tournament quality decks including U/W control, B/W midrange, and R/G monsters. I was trying to think outside the box using a lot of removal spells to keep the battlefield clear of threats and discard spells to keep players from cast removal on my creatures and using Mogis, God of Slaughter to keep doing damage or making an opponent sacrifice a creature keeping players on a constant defensive position. There was also the chance of pulling off a combo with Master of Cruelties and Barrage of Expendables which at FNM won me two matches against a B/W midrange and a B/U mill deck that brought me down to 10 cards left in my library. Its a blast to play and has lots of potential. Hope everyone enjoys it.
To play this deck it is best to save your thought sieze for later game play and in the beginning use duress to see your threats and possibly remove a powerful card from your opponent on turn one. Barrage of Expendables is a good beginning card to play for protecting your creatures from exile or to just be able to do one damage instead of it just being destroyed. The main purpose for this deck is to play your creatures and protect them with the removal spells and if possible have Master of Cruelties attack without being blocked then sacrificing him to finish him off. It is a lot of fun and does good against a lot of decks. Test it build it play it. Enjoy!

Aside from chained to the rocks there is no real exile threat. That being said I would not run barrage of expendables at all, I understand why you want to though. I would rather run magma jet. It can still be finishing move if cruelties gets through AND it's still a scry removal. Also if you're going control consider putting in blue as well. I ONLY say this because removing lifebane/expendables/and two durress and two mizzium you will have enough room for heavier blue control and blue cards that can make master of cruelties unblockable. Aqueus form for instance. I also have been wanting to make a similar deck as this but mine would be Jund
Here where I have been playing, people have been using more exiles like curse of swine to turn my desecration demons into a 2/2 boar and with being able to use the whip to bring my creatures back from the graveyard makes for a better reason to be able to sacrifice him and use him again later. I tried throwing in some blue but was having trouble with counter spells and removal spells that I didnt know my opponent had in his hand, duress is a good way to be able to look at a players hand and not lose the 2 life unless there is a big threat that i would use thoughtsieze to remove, for example I played a W/B midrange and was able to remove a devour flesh and leaving him with no way of dealing with my Master of Cruelties or Mogis and seeings how I had barrage out since turn 2 I was able to win on turn 6. Being able to reuse barrage more then just once or twice and being able to send a big creature to the graveyard that magma jet couldnt makes for a good way to protect a creature from exile or to at least do one more damage before he is dead with a ultimate price or dark betrayal I say its worth it but thats whats great about this game there is limitless possibilities and everyone has their own way of playing :)
Jund standard seems very funny to me. Ramp ramp + Rakdos return? Seems good! then drop xanegos + mogis SEEMS GOOD!! haha then the rest of teh deck would be pain seer and tons of removal. mid-range control
More creatures no doubt atleast 14 main i ran a deck similar with only ten creatures and tons of removal but they killed my creatures so i had no major win con maybe guttersnipes or pack rats? also Chandra is mean in these types of decks!
That's where Mogis comes into play being indestructible and keeping exile cards out of their hands using duress and thoughtsieze making them have to top deck any removal spells but even if they do have a devour flesh of any exile spell using barrage of expendables allows me to do one damage and bring my creatures back from the graveyard with the whip of erebos so those desecration demons and master of cruelties have another chance to destroy my opponent. Try the deck i went up against four different SCG PTQ top 8 decks and it did really well. For a mono black deck side board in the dark betrayal and erebos for lifebane possibly slaughter games if playing against pack rats. B/W midrange side out ultimate price for doom blade/dark betrayal. Its alot of fun and alot of people had trouble playing against it.
