Amazing in a Rakdos, Lord of Riots EDH Deck! Especially with Vedalkan Orrery. Force ur opponents to choose between loosing their creatures or to open up the bloodgates for the demon himself.

This is how im going to use him in my red/black aggro deck.
Fill the deck with just quick duel mana drops like Rakdos Cackler, Goblin Deathraiders, Spike Jester and Fists of the Demigod
Turn 1: mountain, tap Rakdos Cackler
Turn 2: Swamp, tap out for Goblin Deathraiders
Turn 3: Mountain, tap for Fists of the Demigod on Goblin Deathraiders for a 5/3 first strike, trample, wither.
Turn 4: Swamp, tap out for an active Mogis, God of Slaughter
Turn 5: Another Fists of the Demigod on Mogis, God of Slaughter for a 9/7 indestructible, first strike, wither.
Granted this is a perfect opening hand and draws each turn. But on turn 5 that's a scary bored to look at. It could be a turn 5 win if your hitting him every turn. Sure you could kill the Goblin Deathr... (see all)

It's a free Mutavault swing unless they sacrifice. He hits planeswalkers, too.
This card WILL see constructed play.

Anyone else think that this guy could work pretty well in some sort of Grixis control deck?

@EyesOfSyrus, none of your logic works.
First of all, hybrid mana symbols like those in Rackdos Cackler and Fists of the Demigod only count for 1 devotion because they are one symbol. Thus that example you gave would only be a total of 6 devotion.
Secondly, Doom Blade can't kill Goblin Deathraiders because it is black. Doom Blade only kills nonblack creatures.
Also don't forget that if Mogis, God of Slaughter loses his creature type, any Enchant creature auras will fall off and go to the graveyard.

MOGIS sounds awfully familiar with Aries, Lord of War.

@jimmynoobplayer it would be to much to do that because it is not just the red/black hybrid that counts it is every hybrid that includes red or black so 9 total acceptable mana symbols to possibly count toward devotion want a fast win in black red to use as an example here is one:
On the play
Turn 1: pay 2 life play blood crypt untapped cast tormented hero
Turn 2: play a mountain cast madcap skills gain 1 life opponent loses 1 life attack for 5 damage
Turn 3: play a mountain play boros reckoner attack with tormented hero for 5 more
Turn 4: play a swamp attack with tormented hero and boros reckoner for 8 damage cast active mogis
Pass turn with oponent at 1 life they die If they don't have a creature to sacrifice and if not you will be swinging for 15 on a turn 5 yes I am aware this would require a nice opening hand and an opponent keeping a bad hand but what example of slaughter doesn't ?

@EyesOfSyrus why not spike jester over goblin deathraiders? And drop demigod of revenge turn after and you're good on the devotion just between the two haste is more of a rakdos thing than trample anyway also xenagos isn't the only one to become a god in this set there a certain bad ass that reached god hood (and I'm sure this good ass he's been searching for comes out in the next set and it's gonna be G/B

Thanks to Demons, Dragons, Enchantments, and 2- and 3-drop Red Creatures, this is by far going to be the Easiest and Most Painful God to Manifest out of all 15, which I say even before seeing the last 5.
Demigod of Revenge is one of the least imaginative ways to do it. (And more effective than Divinity of Pride if your deck is managing to run a full 4 and a nice Reanimation Trick!
Rakdos, the Defiler will probably be one of the more often-seen ways to do it in EDH. I think that card finishes the job all on it's own as well?
Anyway, literally, most of the cards you want to play, simply two-card combo with Mogis for his Devotion count. Black-Red is more Mana-Dense than just about anything.
I know, I know, it's said too much in reference to ''put next to really big guns in Red and Black", but ACTUALLY, this IS a card that Kaalia of the Vast players may want ... (see all)
