Description
{"ops":[{"insert":{"video":"https://www.youtube.com/embed/Bk2AqXsJsWU?showinfo=0"}},{"insert":"\nInspired by Raphael from Baldur's Gate 3, this deck is designed to constantly have different schemes in motion to present you with multiple ways to win the game outright or to gently encourage your opponents to make difficult choices. You're not forcing them to do anything, but the cost of going against your wishes may cost them their souls. \n\n"},{"insert":{"card-link":"Raphael, Fiendish Savior"}},{"insert":" himself is just a simple lord, giving all of your creatures +1/+1 and Lifelink with a trigger at the end of each turn that can result in you getting a lil devil that you can use for blocks, sacrificial fodder, or burn damage. Like many lords, he is an easy target to remove if he is alone or the strongest creature on the board, but choosing between getting rid of him or a "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Razaketh, the Foulblooded"}},{"insert":", "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Rakdos, Patron of Chaos"}},{"insert":", or any other large demons that he is amplifying suddenly becomes a different choice. Even if they choose to try and remove him, there are cards like "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Deflecting Swat"}},{"insert":" and "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Not Dead After All"}},{"insert":" that can keep him in the fight. He is best played when you already have an established board and when you are about to make a big swing with cards like "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Karlach, Fury of Avernus"}},{"insert":", or "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Bloodthirster"}},{"insert":" to bring your life total to absurd numbers. Every ounce of pain you deal can also be amplified by "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Bloodletter of Aclazotz"}},{"insert":" which can win you the game in a single combat.\n\nTo get yourself to that late game fantasy, you have many smaller demons and devils to help buy you time and cause some pain for your opponents. Cards like "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Varragoth, Bloodsky Sire"}},{"insert":", "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Pain Distributor"}},{"insert":", "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Mayhem Devil"}},{"insert":", "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Grim Hireling"}},{"insert":", "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Rakdos, Lord of Riots"}},{"insert":", "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Descent into Avernus"}},{"insert":", "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Sin Prodder"}},{"insert":", and "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Stinkweed Imp"}},{"insert":" can all help you get the pieces you need and accelerate the game state. You also have cards like "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Damnation"}},{"insert":", "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Vandalblast"}},{"insert":", and "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Earthquake"}},{"insert":" to help control the board state. At my locals, people wondered why I ran something like "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Earthquake"}},{"insert":" instead of "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Blasphemous Act"}},{"insert":". The reason is that it does not hit anything with Flying (which most of the deck is comprised of flying creatures) and that it also deals damage to the players which turns on "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Bloodletter of Aclazotz"}},{"insert":" and "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Exquisite Blood"}},{"insert":". I also included "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Mahadi, Emporium Master"}},{"insert":" for whenever I board wipe and want some extra mana that I can bank for later and "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Archfiend of Depravity"}},{"insert":" to limit my opponents' board states and provide another lightning rod for removal, keeping the commander safely behind much scarier targets.\n\nYou also have a few other win conditions and big swing cards in the deck that are great as pieces but even better when combined. Of course, there is the infinite combo of "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Sanguine Bond"}},{"insert":" and "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Exquisite Blood"}},{"insert":" as any good drain deck should have as both pieces alone can cause the game to get out of hand, but with the two of them you just win on the next bit of damage you deal. You also have "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Liliana's Contract"}},{"insert":" which is a Draw 4 enchantment which will just outright win you the game if you have 4 demons with different names on upkeep, forcing your opponents to either remove some creatures or the enchantment in the next turn cycle. You can also use cards like "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Wand of Orcus"}},{"insert":" on a large demon with "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Impact Tremors"}},{"insert":" to create some defenders while also burning your opponents. As a Coup De Grace you also have "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Bolas's Citadel"}},{"insert":" to top deck your greatest spells and "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Westvale Abbey // Ormendahl, Profane Prince"}},{"insert":" to create an unstoppable demon to help you close the game. \n\nFinally, I did my best to keep the deck on theme of what I feel "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Raphael, Fiendish Savior"}},{"insert":" would have collected from across the multiverses as well as creatures that would be right at home in Avernus. "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Zariel, Archduke of Avernus"}},{"insert":" and "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Herald of Slaanesh"}},{"insert":" are haste enablers for your infernal army. Recursion cards like "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Living Death"}},{"insert":", "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Animate Dead"}},{"insert":", and "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Orcus, Prince of Undeath"}},{"insert":" will ensure that those who signed their souls to the devil's service cannot get out of their obligations simply because they died. If we did not let Yurgir off the hook, nobody gets to worm their ways out with that loophole. This deck has a lot of staying power, hopefully helping you last longer than Raphael in bed with Harleep!\n\nIf I had to, I would rate this deck a power level 6-7 since the gameplan is straightforward and very easy to execute but the speed and consistency holds this deck from being overly competitive. This is also a control style deck that is doing everything it can to maintain advantage over your opponents in the mid to late game which can be a bit of a turn off for some groups. There are a few cards that I would look to upgrade and cut with some newer cards coming out in Duskmourn or that are already out there but add far more to the already ridiculous price. "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Razaketh, the Foulblooded"}},{"insert":" is an excellent end game card that can help you fish out the final pieces you need from your deck while being a gigantic body. If he is not impactful enough for you, I would recommend "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Vilis, Broker of Blood"}},{"insert":" for his card draw on life loss and creature drain effect or the new "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Valgavoth, Terror Eater"}},{"insert":" as your final piece to lockout the rest of the table and use their best cards for yourself. I also used "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Impact Tremors"}},{"insert":" since I had it on hand and wanted to keep the spell cost low and price down, but a strictly better card would be "},{"insert":{"card-link":"The Meathook Massacre"}},{"insert":" or "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Meathook Massacre II"}},{"insert":" as they are just insane designs that fit in any black deck's strategy even if you cast them with X = 0. Finally, while I adore my "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Grim Tutor"}},{"insert":", there are cards like "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Demonic Tutor"}},{"insert":", "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Vampiric Tutor"}},{"insert":", and the brand new "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Demonic Counsel"}},{"insert":" which may only search for a Demon until you have Delirium but is one mana cheaper. Also, if we are being honest, you are searching for a Demon most of the time anyway and when you are looking for the other cards, chances are it is later in the game when you already have those 4 different card types in your graveyard. \n\nAnyway, if you check this deck out and like the theme, this helped you with building your own deck, or you just have recommendations for me to make changes, I am happy to hear them! \n"},{"insert":{"image":"https://images.alphacoders.com/127/thumb-1920-1270344.jpg"}},{"insert":"\n"}]}
