Main Deck (60 cards)

Sideboard (15 cards)

Sorceries (4)


Instants (2)


Artifacts (2)


Enchantments (1)

Submit a list of cards below to bulk import them all into your sideboard. Post one card per line using a format like "4x Birds of Paradise" or "1 Blaze", you can even enter just the card name by itself like "Wrath of God" for single cards.


Deck Description

The deck is pretty much a combination of pure strength followed by a little burn and control My inspiration for this was my overwhelming aggro but i wanted a little more strategy with this so I came up with the idea kill them as fast as possible while maintaining a mid range game.

How to Play

I start out a little slow and use shred freaks for some quick strikes and blockers i try to keep rain of gore up and fists of the demigods on my ashenmoor's then beat them down and burn them with the lightning bolts as needed. I am still looking for other ideas aswell.

You might want some Rakdos Cacklers to smooth out the mana curve.

I don't think creatures like Avatar of Discord are worth the trouble in a format without Dark Ritual.

I am pretty sure there are way better creatures out than Blood Cultist. Hellhole Flailer seems especially fitting for your deck because he is immediate pressure but can also be a threat midgame because of his sac ability - should you be behind in creatures, you can shoot him directly away. Lyzolda is also a personal favourite of mine.

Master of Cruelties, while a fun card, doesn't really belong in this deck. See, he can only attack alone and your other creatures aren't exactly of the type that like to stand by and just watch. Master of Cruelties is a card that wants to have the deck built around him (where you can make him unblockable for example).
There is a myriad of possible replacements. Another favourite of mine is Hellhole Rats because they interrupt the opponent a bit and have done half of their deed as soon as they come into play. It's perfect against opponents that hold back their powerful spells for later.

Note that all creatures I suggested are both black and red to make maximum use of the Liege and Fists of the Demigod.

I did a few of the sugesstions avatar of discord is just to nice of an effect to not play it in my opinion i like running her and demigods in conjunction. But I did think alot about the other ones and your right. (I actually built this deck off of just the cards I owned) so I removed my masters {prerelease playset woot} ran to the game store and got the ones missing in place
