πŸ“– How to build Mogis, God of Slaughter

Mogis, God of Slaughter is a steady pressure engine. At each opponent's upkeep, that player takes 2 damage unless they sacrifice a creature, so every turn they must choose between life and board presence. Mogis is indestructible and doesn't count as a creature until your devotion to black and red reaches seven, so the plan is to tax the table while you build toward that threshold.

Build around cheap black and red permanents with heavy color requirements to raise devotion, such as Phyrexian Arena. Pair that with cards that keep opposing boards thin, like Blasphemous Act, Toxic Deluge, Vandalblast, and Chaos Warp. Opponents with few creatures can't sacrifice them, so they must take the damage. Feed the Swarm and Deadly Rollick add more removal.

Mogis is slow, and 2 damage per turn is modest. Opponents choose, so a table full of spare creatures can absorb the trigger. Indestructible doesn't stop exile or bounce, and until you reach seven devotion, Mogis isn't a creature at all.
