This deck probably looks like
your regular old kind of recursion deck yet Diabolic
Servitude has a little twist to the recursion strategy
because if diabolic servitude leaves play the creature
is removed from the game and if the creature dies it
is removed from the game but the servitude goes back
to your hand. The 3 diabolic servitude make this deck
run. I have been criticized about not adding anything
to guard against enchantments but I have said that
this is Urza's saga and there is not much good enough
to do that. If I have problems I may just add something.
The second spell for recursion is Exhume(2). That is
somewhat of a guard against disenchants since it can't
be disenchanted but is still in the sights of counter
spells. Exhume also has a slight problem of getting
one of your opponents creatures into play but that
is easily worked around since you will usually get
a bigger creature then them.
Now you are probably asking where the
heck are the spells to get my cards in the graveyard.
I am using 4 Attunements in this deck. They are kind
of like a Bazaar of Baghdad for Urza’s Saga. Just return
the card to your hand and you draw 3 cards then discard
4 that isn't that bad because you can just get rid
of some biggies. If someone disenchants the Attunement
in response use its ability. I have the 3 disenchants
in there for any ugly enchantments in Urza’s Saga that
will be a pain and I should know that there are umpteen
million of them. I put in 3 Blanchwood Treefolk just
because they are decent 4/5 creatures and there is
a lack of big creatures with no drawback. I would stick
in a Crater Hellion but they are a little to expensive
even with their special ability. The 2 Dark Rituals
are just there for some nice quick mana nothing really
special. The 4 Launch are there for the Endless Wurm
and they also help out giving most the other big creatures
flying. Since it is a perpetual enchantment it is awsome!
The 3 expunge there are some of the decks 5 removal
spells. They are nice and quick and do the job most
of the time. Good way to get rid of those Sentries.
The 3 Endless Wurms are very wonderful creatures!!!
Even though I should have probably had some green they
work just as good with Diabolic Servitude or Exhume.
With Launch the rock even more. A 9/9 flyer with trampling
is a little more then most people can handle. The 3
Shivan Hellkites are just nice because A)the are 5/5
creatures and B) they have flying. That adds 3 more
flyers to 4 we would already have with launch and that
is quit a lot. The 2 Catastrophes were mostly added
for creature removal but they work really good as a
Armageddon. If you opponent can not disenchant that
9/9 trampler with flying that is on a diabolic servitude
he is in very huge trouble. The 3 Great Whales were
added because they are 5/5 creatures (see a pattern
here) and because they can untap 7 lands when they
come into play. That allows you more of a range for
spells.
The land mix is pretty plain and simple.
10 Swamps, 7 Plains, 6 Islands, and 2 Polluted Mires.
Just the right mix for the spells you need to cast
and maybe a little more land then you need because
your total amount of lands is 25. I like the cycling
lands because they are good late game and actually
reduce the cards in your deck by 2. This deck could
use some Remote Isles and Drifting Meadows too but
I will add those later maybe. Just cast that servitude
or something like that and right after cast a catastrophe...don't
you just love it. That is it for the Diabolic Servitude
deck. Hope you enjoy it and use it. Be sure to add
aside board though.
