Hi everyone, it sure has been a while. Just wanna ask you guys of what you think of using bedlam reveler in the main 60?
Hi bryanbogz, I use Bedlam reveler with the Demigod of Revenge build, but I think that 3 or 4 are a bit too much. Since we exile Faithless Looting to recast it, sometimes you will find yourself with a heavy hand without being able to cast Bedlam Reveler.
This way, I personally think that 1 or 2 is enough on the deck.
I'm currently using the Rabblemaster as main creature, but I played a lot with Demigod of Revenge. Demigod is so brutal as a finisher!
For this reason, I asked for a commission to alter my Demigods as someone once suggested here. So far, the artist sent me a proof for approval for the first card of the playset.
I'll share it below with you, and as soon as I receive the playset, I'll post it again here.
Also, what are the enchantments that we fear? I'm listing a Godless Shrine to be able to cast two Wear/Tear, while I don't have Engineered Explosives.
I always feared a Leyline of Sanctity, but I don't think that this is a major problem against us as it it against a mono-black 8Rack.
I thought of having 1x Dreadbore and 1x Hero's Downfall, for flexibility with Instant/Sorcery. Do you think that it is better to have 2x Dreadbore?
I will do some tests! Thanks for the input!
- I didn't like To the Slaughter on the sideboard. I sided it in against the Nahiris and had a bad time to do some target removals. I will replace it with Hero's Downfall, even it is 1BB.
- Liliana, the Last Hope is EVIL. I was used to play Liliana of the Veil on my 8Rack, but as @smashpackman said, it is much better having LtLH than LotV on main deck for this build. I'm always using her +1 in case I don't have to use her -2 for some reason, while with LotV, sometimes I just don't want or I can't discard a card in my hand.
- I really had a baaaaad luck on the Top 8 match. On the last game, I had to mulligan to 5 and didn't want to risk going to 4. In the end, it didn't pay off.
I want say thanks to @smashpackman for this list and for everyone in this forum. Rakdos FTW!
Hey guys, I'm testing this deck at the moment, but I don't have enough Blood Moon (I only have 2) atm.
Do you think that Blood Moon is a must have for this brew? What do you suggest in place of the other 2 Blood Moon?
I also prefer Smallpox over Necrogen Mists as a replacement for Liliana. I did it for a while on my 8-Rack deck and it was worth
With Lili, you can "choose" to play her +1 ability or not, but Necrogen Mists forces you to disrupt your hand every turn.
I played yesterday on a small local tournament (9 players) and got the second place with the 8RACK deck.
We did 4 rounds of Swiss and a cut to the TOP4.
My matches (and my results) were:
- Tribal treefolk (2-0)
- Boros burn (2-0)
- Affinity (1-2)
- Blue Mill (2-0)
TOP4:
- Grixis Twin (2-0)
Final
- Affinity (0-2)
I still didn't get my Bridges, so I was playing bridgeless against Affinity with a weak sideboard. Still have a lot of space for improvement, since this was the first try for me with this deck as competitive play.
Thanks a lot for everyone in this forum for all the help and instructions about the deck, specially to MemoryLapse, since I watched a LOT of his youtube gameplay videos. ^^
I already bought the 3 missing Bridges, so next time, I will try it with 4 Bridges in the Main Deck.

I just played here in a GPT Chile (with 24 players) and for the first time playing with the deck, I was impressed with my result.
These were my matches:
G1: American Nahiri 1-2 (loss)
G2: Affinity (2-1)
G3: Jeskai Nahiri (2-0)
G4: Abzan Midrange (2-0)
G5: Intentional Draw (ID).
Top 8: Bant Eldrazi (1-2).
My considerations:
- I didn't like To the Slaughter on the sideboard. I sided it in against the Nahiris and had a bad time to do some target removals. I will replace it with Hero's Downfall, even it is 1BB.
- Liliana, the Last Hope is EVIL. I was used to play Liliana of the Veil on my 8Rack, but as @smashpackman said, it is much better having LtLH than LotV on main deck for this build.
