MTG Salvation

Hi,

This is a deck where I steal stuff and use it to my advantage (saccing, permantly gaining control.)
It is fun to play and performs quite well when my opponent(s) have creatures.

Enchantments / artifacts are a risk, since I cannot get rid of them (except with the Dominus itself, but he comes very, very late).

paradox haze works fun with dominus

You can repeatedly steal artifacts with Magus of the Unseen.

Aladdin is in colour, and pretty easy to protect with Lightning Greaves.

I don't think you have enough sacrifice effects. Stealing a creature for only a turn isn't very strong in and of itself. If you add something like Diamond Valley you can actually turn that Act of Treason into a 1 for 1, instead of wasting a card to do a bit of damage, then be in the same position as the turn before (ie. they still have their creature). I would consider Act of Aggression as well, since it's an instant.

I don't think Countryside Crusher fits here, unless you had a way to steal your opponent's lands and sacrifice them to Greater Gargadon.

A singleton Insurrection would be hilarious, but that's more of a Multiplayer card.

There's Conquering Manticore, Grab the Reins does both of what you're deck is trying to do. Helm of Possession, You can steal lands with Orcish Squatters, since you're Mono-R Traitorous Blood is strictly better than Act of Treason.

Hi, thanks for the remarks. I'll look into Alladin as a sideboard card.

There are 7 sac-outlets. I'm looking to add High Market, but the card is hard to find. Diamond Valley is a little bit too expensive. The sac-outlets that require mana for activation don't work out very well.

Countryside Crusher is great. He gives me the necessary body in defence, and keeps me from drawing unneeded land. I'm really happy about what he does. (I've seen him in half a dozen games or so.)

7? I only see Greater Gargadon...

Bazaar Trader gives me permanent control of the stuff I steal.
Technically not a sacrifice effect. Way better actually. I need the Lightning Greaves to protect him.

(Not the first time, then people react like: Oh, a 1/1 that gives stuff to me.)

Ah right, ok well there are also:

Blood Rites, Bloodshot Cyclops, Carnage Alter/Culling Dias, Fling/Fiery Conclusion, Goblin Bombardment, Keldon Necropolis, and Miren, the Moaning Well (budget diamond valley)

Yeah. I know most of them. The problem is that it takes me 5 mana to pull off such a combo, three to steal the creature, two to fling or pay an activation cost. I rarely have the mana to make such a play.

Magmaw only costs 1 to activate, which may help a bit.

Also, props to PeterRiviera for pointing out Aladdin. My bad for providing an off-color recommendation; I read Dominus of Fealty without looking closely at the decklist and thought red-blue.

How about Claws of Gix? Crazy cheap to land and to get rid of stuff.

my favorite card for after i've stolen creatures... altar of dementia

Haha he's been sitting in my binder for years.

i suggested a blue card too, some times people see the cards in off-color and change the decks to fit or because the other color gives better ways to deal with that theme he are using, since in title he said dominus deck, not red steal deck ^^

Actually bazaar trader gives away something of your own.....if you wanted to give away countryside crusher to make them lose lands that might be it's only use here. It works very well, however, with steel golem and some others for a nasty little trick!
