in terms of street wraith, i agree, it's a decent card, but it doesn't really fit this deck b/c it's basically a filler card, and sign in blood gives you 2 cards. take it as you will, but i don't think street wraith is right.

i've been trying this deck out and i will say that it really runs slowly, even with modifications. definately if you try this deck take out unholy strength. also, try, instead of death cultist, put in 4 merrow bonegnawer's (tap: exile card in players graveyard, untap when you play black spell) with 4 gravestorm's (3 cost enchantment, draw a card every upkeep unless opponent exiles card in the graveyard.). not to mention that you take out the thoughtseize and consuming vapors because thoughtseize is pointless in this deck and consuming vapors is too expensive in my opinion. Also, at most you want to run 15 swamps, but i find that, if you put in stuff like cabals ritual and culling the weak on top of dark ritual that you can run it with around only 10 instead, giving you more room for other good cards. plus playing reanimates and exhumes, about 2 of each, help in terms of losing creatures, or sacrificing them for culling the weak. not to mention that a couple shrouded lore's to reuse the cards that you need. basically, here's the deck i'm talking about: 4 xDemon of death’s gate 4 x deathgreeter 4 x merrow bonegnawer 4 x carrion rats 4 x prickly boggarts 10 x swamps 2 x exhume 2 x vampiric tutor 1 x demonic tutor (maybe) 4 x tainted strike 4 x virulent swipe 4 x dark ritual 2 x reanimate 3 x vampiric link 4 x sign in blood 4 x gravestorm 3 x culling the weak 2 x shrouded lore as you can see, i also added in 4 more 1 cost creatures. The downside to the deck that has been proposed is that it actually runs slow if you don't get the right cards. because the liklihood of getting a dark ritual, 3 1 costs, demon in the opening hand with a tainted strike as well or as the next card drawn is very unlikely. not only does the proposed deck try to help aleviate that problem, but it also offers the you a of fighting back better without the demon. Please, advice on cards i should play would be helpful in this revamped version of the demon infect deck.
