Devour in Shadow
Instant
Destroy target creature. It can't be regenerated. You lose life equal to that creature's toughness.

Why Bone Splinters? It just seems like a bad option for this build. The more Allies you have, the better, so saccing one is kind of painful. AND it's only sorcery speed? Vendetta seems aligned with the deck's strong suits - you don't have any spells like Speaker of the Heavens that has a lifegain threshold, so whatever life you gain is just insurance anyway, right? There's also Path to Exile, Fatal Push, Cut Down, Cast Down, Devour in Shadow... so many more. I know some of those are over $1, but really, the added cost isn't that significant, and there are def plenty of instant speed removal spells for under $1.

These cards are great for constantly losing life. I used to play some of those. Unfortunately when I play this deck with friends, they would mainly target me. Therefore my life total goes down very fast. No need to accelerate it even more. Usually I set everything up for one big turn, draw 20-30 cards at once and then win with whatever combo pieces I just drew. For example I used to play even City of Brass just for the life loss, but eventually had to remove it from the deck. I often ended up killing myself.
However, I totally missed that Cruel Tutor exists, I will absolutely add that one, thanks! Also I will consider Devour in Shadow and Ulcerate
thank you!!

My main man Vilis!
Consider the following: Dark Confidant, Dark Tutelage, Black Market Connections, Ulcerate, Devour in Shadow, Feed the Swarm, Cruel Tutor, Plunge into Darkness, Blood Celebrant, Sign in Blood & Jinxed Ring.
Happy brewing!
wallisface on B/U Land Mill

This isn’t too far off competitive mill decks, and i think it should fare fairly well tbh. Here’s some thoughts for improvements though:
-
20 lands is pretty low, especially when you benefit from them so much with the crabs. I’d say 22 lands is generally a more optimal count for Mill.
-
You probably want a playset of Field of Ruin as part of your land base. It can help get more crab triggers, and forces your opponent to search so lets you Archive Trap them.
-
Devour in Shadow feels like a really odd choice as its going to hurt you an unreasonable amount (and the double-black casting cost is rough too). I’d suggest Infernal Grasp as a strict upgrade, though also Fatal Push should just serve you better in almost all situations anyway.
Dead_Blue_ on Budget Death's Shadow Help!

I used to run a Mono Black Death’s Shadow deck before Death’s Shadow was a real deck. I’d run spells like Vendetta and Devour in Shadow with creatures like Sangrophage …dunno how viable it is today. It just some ideas
Infernal Grasp is probably the way to go

So a sneak peek dropped. Do you still want to use this thread?

If you're still looking at Death's Shadow and thinking about flavor (from a comment from four years ago), Devour in Shadow has both the mechanics and flavor to be worth considering.

Nice deck! If you wanna go even harder on the theme a few cards that hit the 'flavor' and are still playable for a budget deck; Consume the Meek , Consumptive Goo , Rite of Consumption , Devour Flesh , Devour in Shadow , Devouring Swarm , Devouring Tendrils , Faceless Devourer , Feast of Succession , Feast of Worms , Feaster of Fools , Grothama, All-Devouring , Soul Swallower , Gluttonous Slime , Marrow Chomper , Mycoloth , Ravenous Gigantotherium , and Skullmuncher
And, best of all, Hot Soup . Gotta run hot spip with Gyome, it's too perfect.
