I felt like making a Ruth deck, which ended up being more of a Teal deck. :P Advice is most welcome, I haven't tested this yet.

jUst saw this post. I don't play much teal so I'm at a loss for help there. But I do, however, play demons. So, I think if you're not playing HHI I would take out Worshipping Demons. On the other hand u could take out Lampy and replace with HHI. If you choose not to play HHI than I would replace Messenger with Spirit of Temptation. Again, on the other hand, if HHI were in I would replace Messenger with DBTI. If DBTI were added then I would also add SSS. Here is my Demon setup:
Arts: HHI, Madness
Demons: SOT, DBTI, Fallen Angel, Crippling Demon, KoT, Seizing Spirit, The Thief, Foreign Wives (not a demon, obviously, but gets HHI back if discarded)
Enhances: DoU (to use one Crippling), SSS, Persistent Pestering, Evil Armor, Worshipping Demons, Proselyte, Swift Horses (for Foreign Wives), and Forgotten History and/or Wonders Forgotten to play on Foreign Wives and/or Crippling Demon
Hope this helps!

Thanks for the advice, though I took this deck apart since I don't think it's good. At least, in practice against my older decks it wasn't very good. :P
I wouldn't take out WD because it is a CBN end the battle card, similar to how Forgotten History would always be played with pale green. I've almost never protected souls with the idol clause of it. Also, Messenger o' Satan>Spirit o' Temptation, at least for me, because of the draw and CBP. HHI was considered, but I left it out for the Ruth band.
For your defense I feel like the non-orange you have won't work too well, but if it does, then ok. Do you have much success with it? I think Wandering Spirit is too good to not have in a demon based defense, why don't you use him? Personally, I would splash some magicians to make better use of the pale green, since they have two characters who naturally use orange CBN (Damsel and Users), a character to band to demons (Manny), Egyptian Magicians with SoT/MoS and Persistent Pestering, and Charms. Because if you have magicians, you have charms. ;)

I would love to have Wandering Spirit in there, if I actually owned the card...lol! but yes I have had a lot of success with it. The deck I used it with was a Prophet/Demon deck....constant recur with Isaiah/DBTI. The only time I lost with it was when my brother in law built a surprise deck with Three Nails....killed my blocking. Lost in 6 turns...no soul draw 1st round. really hurt! I use I Am Holy in the offense to discard to force apponent to discard and then regain it with Isaiah. I like the combo very much! I've used Mags in two decks....Purple Musicians/Mags and my end deck that uses 4 heroes...Joe, Jake, TSA, and Watchful Servant.
