Death of the fiend

[adrieng]

I am testing a semi-budget deck based on death's shadow/kil fiends +pumps.
I haven't a lot of test right now but it seems playable and it has the same options tha infect has with some differents cards.

there are a lot of synergies Pumps+Kiln fiend+temur death's shadow+temur and so on.
The deck can kill on turn 3 regularly. Side is mainly for combo but I haven't tested a lot the list.
Maybe i'll tell more after serious testing.

Here the list :


4 Death's Shadow
4 Delver of Secrets
4 Monastery Swiftspear
4 Kiln Fiend
2 Ponder
4 Brainstorm
2 Spell Pierce
4 Gitaxian Probe

4 Mutagenic Growth
4 Temur Battle Rage
3 Apostle's Blessing
2 Dismember


4 Bloodstained Mire
4 Polluted Delta
1 Verdant Catacomb
2 Watery Grave
2 Steam Vents
1 Breeding Pool
1 Overgrown Tomb

SB: 2 Pyroblast

Shock lands for maximum value with Shadow?

No Snuff Out?

Yes shocklands are for death shadow. But I am going to cut green four colour is too greedy.
The double strike +trample with fiend and death's shadow is enough. Also I definitely need the four ponder in testing.
Don't know if 26 sorcery/instant is enough to flip the delvers.

Immolating Souleater and Rouse might fit in with your game plan.

You can let this thread die ; the idea what not uninteresting
but the power level of legacy is way higher.

I might try to port this idea to modern. Most of the cards are already legal there anyways.

I think it lacks kiln fiend in this modern build
