Description

"The will of mortals bends before the supremacy of demons. Bow or be sacrificed."

Demonic Supremacy is a Rakdos Midrange-Control deck that dominates the battlefield with relentless removal, powerful demons, and graveyard recursion. It thrives on keeping opponents under constant pressure, clearing threats with devastating efficiency, and closing games with overwhelming demonic force.

With a mix of instant-speed removal (Doom Blade, Victim of Night, Go for the Throat) and value-generating threats (Desecration Demon, Grave Titan, Archfiend of Depravity), this deck ensures that the battlefield remains under your control. Kolaghan’s Command and Whip of Erebos provide recursion and sustain, making your threats even harder to deal with.

This deck excels in 1v1 and multiplayer settings, especially against aggressive and midrange strategies that rely on creature-based combat.

How to Play

Early Game:
Use Doom Blade, Go for the Throat, and Victim of Night to eliminate early threats.
Establish card advantage with Phyrexian Arena or force discard with Blightning.
Set up board control by holding back key removal and preparing for midgame dominance.

Mid-Game:
Deploy your demons to establish pressure: Desecration Demon, Archfiend of Depravity, Reaper from the Abyss.
Use Kolaghan’s Command to disrupt your opponent's hand while returning threats from your graveyard.
Leverage Whip of Erebos for recursion and lifelink, ensuring survivability against aggressive decks.

Late Game:
Close the game with Master of Cruelties or Grave Titan, applying lethal pressure.
Bring back key demons with The Eldest Reborn or Whip of Erebos for repeated devastation.
Adapt your playstyle based on your opponent’s deck, utilizing the sideboard for strategic advantages.

How the Midrange-Control Works

Set Up Control:
Use early-game removal to neutralize threats.
Keep your opponent’s board weak while developing your own game plan.

Dominate the Midgame:
Deploy Archfiend of Depravity to limit enemy board presence.
Control the pace of play with Phyrexian Arena and recursion effects.

Finish the Game with Overwhelming Force:
Use Master of Cruelties to take an opponent down in a single strike.
Generate board presence with Grave Titan and recursive threats.
Leverage Whip of Erebos to maintain aggression and ensure survival.

This deck thrives in attrition-based games, gradually dismantling opponents until they have no chance to fight back.
