    [M14] Spoiler discussion

    Let's start!

    There are better ways in Legacy to cheat Griselbrand into play, but it's an interesting design nonetheless:

    Shadowborn Apostle
    Creature-Human Cleric
    A deck can have any number of cards named Shadowborn Apostle.
    , sacrifice six creatures named Shadowborn Apostle: Search your library for a demon creature and put it onto the battlefield. Then shuffle your library.
    1/1

    3BB - Shadowborn Demon
    Creature - Demon (Mythic Rare)
    Flying
    When Shadowborn Demon enters the battlefield, destroy target non-Demon creature.
    At the beginning of your upkeep, if there are fewer than six creature cards in your graveyard, sacrifice a creature.
    5/6

    And another winner!!!

    Totally worthless. It doesn't matter how many copies of that creature you can have in your deck, only how many cards in hand you can have at a given time. It looks like they really, really wanted to make it unplayable, because 4 copies is already asking too much.

    The demon looks cool and I like how it subtly references this card. Though there are better demons (and dragons) at that cost, so I don't think it will see play.
    Please stop talking about whether Force of Will is broken or not. It obviously is, and rather than "the glue that holds vintage together" it would be better to call it "the rug under which you hide the filth until there's so much that you can no longer conceal it".

    Well I guess Thrumming Stone can now go into two casual decks. And this time it may even bring Bloodbond March along for the ride to break the monotony a bit.

    I do like that having a ton of expendable minions work well with most Demons and not just with the one in M14.

    You can Desperate Research them into your hand. With the lower CC that's much more plausible than for the rats.
    Since it's a cleric, it works with Dark Supplicant
    Sphinx of the Chimes would be an alternative to Thrumming Stone

    But at least he doesn't die to it!

    I was thinking this guy may portend the reprinting of BSA. Sameish CMC (3BB vs 3WW), doesn't die to it in a fight (that 5/6 seems just too purposeful to me as opposed to the standard 5/5 or 6/6 Demon p/t), Mythic Rare just like BSA.

    If you can Desperate Research etc. a few clerics into your hand, Edgewalker gets them into play for nothing, and Rotlung Reanimator generates creature advantage when you sac your clerics. (Rotling also has VERY fitting art for a demon deck!)
    I doubt it's anything but casual fare, but I like Shadowborn Apostle for a demon deck multiplayer deck, especially with Grave Pact etc etc.

    Edgewalker + the new clerics + Grislebanned seems pretty neat.

    Actually Griselbrand isn't that broken with the new guy. I mean all you draw into is what, more Clerics :D? Ofc you could then cheat another big fat demon into play...

    With Edgewalker, you can easily dump another demon into play after getting Grislebrand. Or just play a Thrumming stone and keep drawing and dropping Apostle's until they're all 20/20s and just swing.

    Use this shell:


    3 Griselbrand
    4 Edgewalker
    4 Thrumming Stone
    27 Shadowborn Apostle

    22 Lands

    none of these demons provide a win now state, unless you can dig up like 4 spirit of the nights and attack directly?

    its way too vulnerable to creature removal.

    Should win a few casual table top games.

    Spirit of the Night is legendary.

    Also, the apostles don't automatically go to 20/20 (though having 20 on the table is pretty brutal anyway).

    I wonder if there's a line of play through Rune-Scarred Demon and Last-Ditch Effort or Grapeshot

    Clericstorm sounds like a great idea. I think I have a new joke deck.
