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.


How to Play

Thrumming stone out as fast as possible. Thus the lotus petal, dark rituals, and simian spirit guides. Then cast a Shadowborn Apostle...ripple to 20+ shadowborn apostles onto the battlefield. Bring out the demons.

I like to tutor for Sire of insanity first. In case opponent has a board sweep spell, it gets discarded before he can cast it. Malfegor makes them sac what they do have on the table.

Right now, when Rune-Scared Demon comes into play, I tutor for Immortal Servitude, but I'd like suggestions on other spells to tutor for to make sure I lock down the game.

Deck discussion for Cheating Demons

Brainspoil might be a better choice than diabolic to get the thrumming stone faster, and it's a removal as well. Also, I didn't see the lotus petals in the decklist. Wouldn't they be better than the simian spirit guides?

You look like you are already set on your demons, but reaper of the abyss also has good juju with shadowborn apostle sacrifices.

Thanks for Brainspoil! I was not familiar with that spell. I love that I can go get the Living death with it too if I want to.

you might want to consider shirei, shizo;s caretaker. if you can get it out when you blow all the apostles, it returns them all. combo that with like a mortician beetle, or a grave pact, or ogre slumlord, it just gets absurd.

Thanks for the advice. I'll definitly consider Shirei as I play test.

Thought about putting Desecration Demon in here? 6/6 flying for 2BB. At the beginning of each combat an opponent may sac a creature and tap Desecration Demon and he gets a +1/+1 counter. He keeps getting bigger while your opponents lose all of their creatures. Even with that downside, a 6/6 flying for 4 mana is pretty sweet.
