I want to start off saying I am incredibly new to EDH in fact I'm basically looking to build my first EDH deck ever.
All I know is I want to build around Shadowborn Apostle <3
Major reason I want to go black red is because I REALLY like Morgis/Sire Of Insanity/Malfegor
I figured I could go standard black/white build or mono black but I want to be a little different I guess...
Any and all suggestions would be most welcome and I really would like to get more red into the deck if it makes sense.
I have NO IDEA what lands to put into the deck yet since I have so little actual red in the deck.
New the forum so trying to figure out formatting sorry if its bad.
Thinking about
master of cruelties
Indulget Tormentor
Pestilence demon
Rakados the defiler
Bloodchief Ascension
That leaves room for 37 land that I really need help figuring out with so little red I don't want to put in to many red sources but I don't want to few... at a loss there.
Thanks and I look forward to the suggestions, if you think I should just go pure black or black white feel free to say so I think those would be the more practical options but the black red god is just so interesting to me
Oooooh! I have been putting together a similar idea using Sol'kanar the Swamp King at the helm to work in some blue, mostly for stealing things. As you've got a pretty good start going, ill just add some thoughts on some other demons I get good use out of.
Havoc Demon, with some sort of sacrifice outlet makes for a decent emergency wipe if things are getting out of control, sometimes useful against indestructible threats.
Dread Cacodemon has to be hardcast to get the most out of him, but he comes with a one sided wrath, and could bring a swift finish to a long game, even better if your Blood Artist is out.
Master of Cruelties could make a vicious surprise if an opponent has found himself sitting with no blockers, I'd bring him into play just before your turn. I swing, you go to 1, Pestilence Demon for 1!
Ob Nixilis, Unshackled can be brought into play in response to a search effect going on the stack, brutal if they are doing multiple search effects, *HILARIOUS* against the guy who loves Dragonstorm, you know the one. I hate that guy.
Xathrid Demon can come in to answer boardlocked states or pillowfort players, goes well with */* type creatures, your own or stolen. Bonehoard works well for us in general and will let you feed him a massive breakfast each turn. Nom nom!
A couple of cards that are not Demons, but play to our theme: Mark of the Oni is a 3 mana black Control Magic with the condition of having a demon in play, no real challenge for this deck, as a bonus if you use it ON a demon, it fulfills its own clause. Get over here!
Finally for what I can pull from my brain ATM, Blood Speaker is a reliable, self recurring tutor for demons.

Since you already have the Sire of Insanity, you could toss in his favorite little puppy dog Hollowborn Barghest for pingy fun times!
