Deck discussion for Self-Sacrifice

I'd add more land. I understand you have a low mana curve and infernal plunge, but Geralf's Messenger can't be played on red mana. Besides, I'd rather have 21-22 lands and some other mana sources if most of my spells were 3 drops. Especially with no library manipulation.

Sweet deck! Maybe add a Goblin Arsonist to fix up the stray mana curve - everything cost two or three. Otherwise i love it!

Well I think Geralf's Messenger only because the chance of getting three black mana out in the first couple of turns or even at all without comprimising getting red mana out would be rare. It is a great card however so it's a bit of a toss-up. Or Vampire Aristocrat.
I have a couple of self-sacrifice concept decks that are mostly undying type. Here is one that is mono red however, not black and red. If you want to take a look at it for ideas or whatever feel free.

hmmmmm, You know, I might just drop the geralfs messengers, because you are very right about the playability of him in this deck. I hardly ever see him on the field when i use this deck, i think I'll both of him and 2 vampire aristocrat and add 4 goblin arsonists

Yeah, there we go! That's looks better - a nicer mana curve, better balance of red and black and almost every creature there explodes when poked. Sweet as. Just another idea, maybe a Havengul Vampire or a card similar to that might do alright?

It's not a bad idea, but i don't think I'll put it in. Most creatures I have on the battlefield I dont expect to be alive very long... Thunder thrash elder and my sacrifice vampires will be on the field the longest and I still plan on flinging them at some point haha.... Although it's not out of the question, I can always throw it in for a few games to see how it does

I also( going with your alternative creature idea) was thinking about demon of deaths gate. Seems like it might be a good idea. Sac 3 creatures and 6 life and i have a 9/9 flying trample, in this deck it'd be more like deal 6+ damage to an opponent or creatures and sac 6 life for a 9/9 haha

Haha, lol, Demon at Death's Gate is an awesome card though. How would you go about these cards:
- Rite of Ruin (a bit costly though, however you could use infurnal plunge to acquire that extra mana)
- Barter in blood (very good for this deck i think)
- Skirsdag Cultist

Keep up the good work :)

yea rite of ruin might be a lil expensive, barder in blood might be good but I was thinking more of Bone Splinters for this deck

Actually yeah, Bone Splinters is PERFECT for this deck. I would -1 Morbid Plunder, -1 Artillerize and -2 Fling for four of them.

Well that works too, but i think that Undying Evil is perfect for this deck just as much as Bone Splinters. Up to you though :)

What do you think now? I'm thinking if I want to have 3 undying evil, and maybe dropping a morbid plunder for it.... but idk because Morbid plunder is key in this deck to bring my creatures back

Yeah i see what you mean... Well you deck is pretty solid at the moment so minor changes at this stage are not worth worrying over. However what i have in mind is quite drastic so bear with me:
-3 Artillerize
-1 Mobid Plunder (you could also swap this card for Gravepurge which i would do personally)
+2 Undying Evil
+2 Bone Splinters
It's bit rough and i had a hard time choosing stuff but this is ultimately what i think.

Well I haven't play tested out this version of the deck yet. So i might see how this does and put some consideration into the changes you put up, undying evil so far has proven devastating in this deck so having 4 might be a good move, havent seen the potential on bone splinters yet, gotta play with them in the deck, tho I assume it'll be a good card for it

Although so far this deck has been very very effective in a one on one match =]
