For Fun Baali Concept: Shaitanic Chop Heads

Hi. I'd like to teste something out, because I'm falling in love with baali hahah

This is a for fun concept but I think it might relly work.

How do you intend to oust?
Moderate bleed with enchant kindred / sense the sin, smiling jack and burning vampires in combat

How do you intend to keep from being ousted?
Moderate block with huitzilopochtli and some backup baalis, bounces and cancel actions with evil eye (wich also can be used to prevent strikes and send vampires to torpor with agg dmg). Bloat with enchant kindred / tend the flock / vessel

What do you want your ready region to look like (ie, how many guys are you planning on getting out)?
at least shaitan and another backup baali (if possible, mary the black)

What do you want your average turn to look like?
Bleed or bloat, or equiping permacept and wait to block and combat. Avoid to pay pool by infernal untapping.

What's your metagame like? How do your opponents play?
lots of everything, specially combat

What problems have you observed with the deck in play?
Have played only a striga version. Didn't go well so I switched to maleficia and evil eye

Why are you running 8 maleficia when theres only 8 cards requiring it in the deck?

Also, no ruins of charizel, and one path, and only 4 flock. I see not getting ousted being a problem. Ive ran jack in Baali. He and i decidex to hang out in other decks instead. Im justcunsure of the wholexmaster package. Less vessels, for sure. Id run 4 in decks like kimdred spirits, malk 94, giovanni powerbleed, weenie dbr... really aggro decks, where blood doll needs blown up. Here, you just have a ton of masters, but not more than anson decks traditionally ran, mind you, but you pay for extra mpas, then you pay pool for your pool recursion. Ouch. Id ru. Villein x2, maybe one vessel and a blood doll, or even 3 villeins, you get the idea. Then you can afford the jack tax, the satan tax, and the general table scowls for playing baali mmpa.

Now, the concept seems fun, but fear the void and ignore the searing flames are just kinda ok here. Itd be easier in some ways to run concordance, and get to treat agg as normal, get a burn a blood to untap (you already run metro underground, this is blood instead of pool) and plus 1 strength. And flight, for what its worth( incidentally, not much, unless you want to build around it, and the best flight card is as the crow, which is hard to use when you have -1 stealth from concordance, as a result if vistigial wings or whatever...)

Now, killing stuff dead is lots of fun, but id go with some presence bleed @+2 bleed stuff. You want to bleed for 3+ sense the sin, or kill them brutally, then block brutally. Eventually, they get all philosophical about if the minion is worth ~5 pool at a givem point in the game.

So, blood management is kinda an issue too.

If you run into problems, i believe that being infernal gets around the drawback of sheepdog.

The concept seems fun though.

Good luck!

Because they don't jam his hand, like regular discipline masters would. He can pile all eight of them on a single minion if he wishes.

(Also, the only cards competing for trifle slots are the four Vessels.)

that being said, I need to build the maleficia users fast, to protect myself from harsh actions or to cancel strikes and burn the vampires afeter sending them to torpor.

I'm going to try reducing the deck size to test only the core and then I post news here.
