whono-scribble The other two cards are very cheap, if someone is selling them where you live, or you can buy them in an LGS one day, I think they'd worth it, but if you don't want to spend, that's also understandable.
I think that of the Equipment you mention, the best would be Vanguard's Shield,since you have a deathtouch theme, if you equip a deathtouch creature with that, you can kill two creatures, while your creature has more chance to stay alive with the toughness boost. You can even trap your opponents by blocking and then giving deachtouch to a creature that doesn't have it.
Why do you need other artifacts in the deck? The only thing I see is that you need mana fixing to flashback Strangling Soot, but there are other ways to do that. One is to replace that card with something better, like Doom Blade, Murder, Last Gasp, Tragic Fall or the black removal everyone's using these days, Cast Down.
If you want to keep it, you can try adding a few Bloodfell Caves or maybe Cave of Temptation or you can try to combo Rakdos Carnarium with either Mortuary Mire or Witch's Cottage.
Snap157 on Rakdos; Burn It Down
6 years ago
Alrighty then let's get you all set!
You've got some big things and that's not bad with your commander, but you'll need some cheaper burn spells if Rakdos can really work. With that being said, Lightning Bolt, Lava Spike, Bump in the Night, and Rift Bolt are your best friends. As for land base, try to shy away from basics, but add in as many rakdos duals that don't come in tapped as possible. I'll get you started down below.
While using rakdos, keep in mind that he takes away only colorless mana, so huge eldrazi such as Void Winnower, Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre, Pathrazer of Ulamog, Kozilek, Butcher of Truth, Desolation Twin and It That Betrays can all go out for free if you play it right.
It's also important to keep in mind that the ability only impacts creatures, so super expensive things like Din of the Fireherd, Subterranean Tremors don't belong.
Furthermore, there are some cards that don't work too well in an aggro build like this and could use an upgrade. Take out:
- Strangling Soot
- Rend Flesh
- Wail of the Nim
- Sire Of Insanity
- Falkenrath Noble
- Maggot Carrier
- Tavern Swindler
- Rakdos Guildgate
- Blood Reckoning
- 4x Swamp
- 4x Mountain
replace with:
- No Mercy
- Blood Crypt
- Ultimate Price
- Dreadbore
- Vial Smasher the Fierce
- Terminate
- Mogis, God of Slaughter
- Lord of the Void
- Dragonskull Summit
- Bloodstained Mire
- Command Tower
- Opal Palace
- Graven Cairns
- Shadowblood Ridge
- Leechridden Swamp
- Sulfurous Springs
- Chandra, Torch of Defiance
With these changes as well as the ones mentioned above, you'll be well on your way to a hated deck! Good luck!
