Deck Description

Fun deck really easy to get demons out and hit hard!

How to Play

Use the skeletons as defense in the early game until you can get out your demons, sacrifice the skeletons to attrition(with grave pact in play) taking out two creatures of your opponents each turn, with lord of the pit sacrifice a skeleton or shadowborn apostle (destroying another creature), every turn tapping a high priest and two apostles putting a 5/5 demon every turn, with cavern of souls allowing demons not to be countered and unburial rites bringing back whatever they kill off, its a great deck not to mention some choice of damnation to really spice things up!!!

Deck discussion for Demonic takeover

Crypt Ghast and Reassembling Skeleton are definitely not required for this deck. Your whole purpose should be to get your demons and get them quick, and for that, you would want a whole load of Shadowborn Apostles. I would drop all of the Ghasts and Skeletons for more Apostles, and definitely take out the binding blade for another one. 18 Apostles makes them much more consistent, even though I would lean more towards more. Demonlord and Lord of the Pit would be more cost effective as Shadowbown Demon and Desecration Demon, respectively, for their ability as demons and their removal capabilities. If you could fight for some, I'd suggest 2 Demons of Death's Gate, who hit the field running. Unburial Rites would rather be a Zombify in this deck, by the way. Those are my suggestions, I hope you find them at least moderately useful.

Ghast really are inappropriate , thanks! and I really love the skeletons in this deck though they help out in so many ways they have saved my life so many time waiting on a big demon to drop. Demonlord, I didn't notice I had him so im definitely going to run him! Thanks man, really alot of help!

Ok, I don't know what your budget is bit as it says just a 'fun deck', I will assume that it is in the low-mid range in terms of prospected cost. In my opinion add Griselbrand, he is solid, and with Shadowbord Apostle you can get him out early and leave your opponents shit in their pants. Secondly add Corrupts for any mono-black deck as they will definitely prove useful against other players in terms of keeping your own life total up and either their's down or keep their board state from swelling, and the life gained can be used to activate Griselbrand's ability - Pay 7 life, Draw 7 cards which will be very useful late game. Apart from that your deck looks fun and I hope I helped, if you want more advice then drop me a message. Thank you.
