Death Artist (get it?)

by Pmoore80 on 07 September 2016

Main Deck (60 cards)

Sideboard (33 cards)


Sorceries (4)


Instants (2)


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

I wanted to play something that would punish my friends for drawing cards. Trying to get this into modern legal format hinders that big time. The side board is full of other non legal options for those of you interested. Any suggestions for adds/edits is always appreciated!

Cheers!

How to Play

Get the Kederekt Parasite and Underworld Dreams out asap. Use the rest of your deck to force your opponent into drawing cards and watch them drain their own life.

"Spiteful Visions" is modern legal and would help to activate the ability of "Kederekt Parasite".
I would perhaps trade "Curse of the Pierced " for some removal spell ("Doom Blade", "Go for the Throat", "Lightning Bolt") to have something in your hand when your opponent manages to lay down a (creature) thread. "Collective Defiance" could be a great card as it allows you to damage your opponent or one of his creatures in addition to force him into drawing 3 cards.

Hey Muktol, thanks for stopping by. The only reason I don't have Spiteful Visions in the deck is because it also damages me. I feel like this may play to slowly for that. What do you think?

As for Pierced Heart, you're right, I'm going to insert Lightning Bolt AND Go For The Throat instead. And collective Defiance is brilliant! My search for draw+damage didn't incorporate any of the Eldritch Moon or Shadows Over Innistrad stuff. Thanks for the suggestions!

You will need some more red permanents to activate Kederekt Parasite's ability, at the moment your only red permanent is Chandra Ablaze.
The self-damage is to be considered but depends on the situation you're in. If you play against an aggressive deck then it can be lethal for you but if you manage to get some of your other 'opponent receives damage when draw' effect cards out then your opponent should die faster than you.
The only danger I see with this method is that you give your opponent a hell of a lot cards to play with, even it is only for one turn. So the chances are high that you will be up against the best parts of his deck, if he has the mana to play them (which is also quite high because he also will draw a lot of cards).

Uh oh. This may sound stupid but I thought land cards counted as permanents. So I figured my mountains would work as red permanents. Perhaps I had better include those Curses again? Or if I'm brave enough, the Spiteful Visions. Can you think of any red creatures that fit the theme?

Lands do count as permanents but their colorless. I think the rule that would have to be applied here would be 202. Mana Cost and Color:
202.1b Some objects have no mana cost. This normally includes all land cards, any other cards that have no mana symbols where their mana cost would appear, tokens (unless the effect that creates them specifies otherwise), and nontraditional Magic cards. Having no mana cost represents an unpayable cost (see rule 117.6). Note that lands are played without paying any costs (see rule 305, “Lands”)
and
202.2b Objects with no colored mana symbols in their mana costs are colorless.

"Shah of Naar Isle" might be an option tough it's rulings says 'may draw a card'. On teh other hand you would get a good defender (or attacker) for a very cheap price. "Fate Unraveler" Could be added as black creature.
