I made this deck because of browarod's post about magicians and demons. I think the offense is a bit sketchy but the defense looks interesting and is really big, not sure if it the offense can work paired with this defense. Tell me what you think.

Ooh, I had never thought of throwing Panic Demons in there...interesting idea.
I think mine will still stick to just Pale and Orange, but I do like your use of Crimson, too (thus not wasting Astrologer's other half).
The offense does seem a little small (which is my main problem with the Mag/Orange defense idea) but I think it could work if played correctly.

I think the defense could work if played right, but it might be a bit spread out. Set Fire and Seven Sons can stay, but I don't see the value in Flying Flames or the crimson Panic Demon.
If your opponent attacks with Gabriel and has half of a brain, however, your offense dies (but you probably realized that). I would say that if you want a small offense and huge defense, you should go with a Chamber/I am Holy/at least three Angels strategy. That also allows you to take out 3Nails, which has the doubly bad effect of taking up Blindness' spot and stopping your demons.
I'd really like to see a viable Blindness defense work though, and I think you might be on the right track.
