Deck Description

The simplest version of this creature's ability. I picked the four baddest demons I could find that are extended legal. With testing I may create a more complex version of this concept. Typically the demons come out around turn 6-8.

How to Play

Necropolis Fiend works beautifully as a complimentary action to sac'ing your Apostles

It's obvious you're relying on the Apostles to cheat most of the Demons in, but without that you're going to struggle to get them out. I suggest reducing the number of each Demon to 1 or 2 copies, except Necropolis Fiend which should be at 3 copies. This will open up space for more Apostles, thus making your deck more consistent. Only 3 Necropolis Fiend as you won't always have cards in your graveyard when you draw it, so 4 is too risky.

Reducing the number of Demons and increasing the number of Apostles makes Immortal Servitude an awesome addition. I'd replace Harsh Sustenance with Servitude, thus removing the need for Scoured Barrens.

Another card to consider if you reach critical mass on Apostles is Obelisk of Urd. This makes the Apostles a threat on their own. Door of Destinies can fill the same role.

You could also take a page out of the Relentless Rats decks and include Thrumming Stone.

I agree with dedwards - I run a similar deck relying on shadowborns and have found you need at least 22 for them to be useful - to re-iterate aswell immortal servitude is an awesome card that complements them well. Just looked at Thrumming stone and ill b e including that in my deck :) I was using credit voucher but think thrumming stone may help more.

You may want to consider Demon of Death's Gate [9/9 FLying, Trample, You may pay 6 life and sacrifice three black creatures rather than pay Demon of Death's Gate's mana cost.] He's good if you have him in your hand but not enough Apostles.

Griselbrand and rune-scarred demon are two of the best demons printed. I would try and make room for both as well as 1 copy of thrumming stone. Also, I would cut the white. With Immortal Servitude being a hybrid B/W card, white is really unnecessary to accomplish the goal of sacking apostles to summon demons.
