yeah, removal. kinda don't think it's needed right away. Better to try to let the Agent, and the Des. Demon try to handle their creatures. and lothel is good because it can be regenerated. The real win condition is the devotion.

this deck is really really cool, congratulations. lotleth troll + ordeal is like really beautiful to me.

Not sure if you want to make it competitive in standard, the following suggestions are for that:

I think this deck could be fleshed out a bit. Some of these cards are just not fast or impactful enough in standard to be worth it. For example, obviously jarad's orders can set up nutty situations in this kind of a deck, but it's just like a missed turn of pressure for your opponent. I would take those out and add in the full complement of demons and whips. The reason i'm pushing the whip is that i'd like to take out two of the rescue from the underworlds. I don't feel that they would be used to their full extent in a deck that has so many +1/+1 counters. Instead you're just going to wind up saccing something you've invested counters onto. I don't think i like erebos's emissary at all, even though you have some stuff to discard i feel like that card is just way too slow. Even though i love that you're actually using ordeal, i'd like to decrease the number to three or more likely two for some grisly salvages to increase consistency

well the ordeals are meant to also trigger heroic from the agent of fates to force them to sacrifice a creature. it has the added benefit of being a death touch. so by adding the +1/+1 it makes it a little stronger, by the time u get to 3 counters, and discard it, you'll have a 6/5 death-touch. and because it doesn't specify that those counters have to come from the ordeals, so hypothetically u could use scavenge to play off the the ordeal 1 turn sooner by discarding a slitherhead to a loleth troll (giving it +1/+1) , or jarad's orders and then for 0 giving the agent another counter. also by having a death touch on the field they might be less inclined to atk until they have a removal spell to deal with it. what I think u don't see is the lack of spell removal in my build, it's all build into creatures, to help build up devotion so u can kill your enemy by dealing life loss from gray mechants. But I appreciate your suggestions!

No problem dude. I give suggestions because i definitely like the deck. and i can see the power of devotion, most of my suggestions don't really have any kind of decrease in it. Mostly i just suspect that jarad's orders and erebos's emissary probably don't pull their weight in the competitive scene. Hey another thing i thought of is that if you can land an underworld connections that would be hella good for this deck and would up your devotion

btw i would put in the last lotleth troll, since he's like your mvp
