I felt like expanding a bit on my Krenko deck (Krenko, Mob Boss EDH) and decided to branch out to Rakdos for doing so.

It's largely similar, with a few changes brought by the inclusion of black. While it's not as explosive as Krenko, it's more sustainable for the long game, as you can just keep getting Goblins back from your graveyard. You're essentially drawing up to 2 cards per turn, one of them being a Goblin. So the strategy is pretty straight forward: Play Goblins, swing, and if you lose them, refetch them from your graveyard, repeat.

Now that the commander is Rakdos, we have access to some black Goblins from Lorwyn. Mad Auntie is another Goblin lord, Knucklebone Witch will grow as more and more Goblins die, Boggart Harbinger is another Goblin Tutor, Boggart Mob provides us with even more goblins and Frogtosser Banneret makes them even cheaper. Cabal Slaver isn't a Goblin himself but provides a really neat buff.

I really like that Rakdos also gives us access to Grenzo, Dungeon Warden. Playing him for 3 mana pretty much gives us access to almost every creature in the deck with the exception of Boggart Mob and Voracious Dragon. You could technically also run him as a commander, although the deck would need some more fine tuning to fully synergize with that strategy. (I might make a list with him as the head of the deck)

Since you can get a Goblin out of your graveyard every turn, it's useful to have some ETB effects, since the deck allows you to recast these creatures easily. I really like the "echo goblins" for this (Mogg War Marshal, Goblin Marshal, Stingscourger), since you don't even need a sac outlet to get them into your graveyard.

Finally, the deck allows us to get some more use out of red's "draw spells". Tormenting Voice, Cathartic Reunion and Rummaging Goblin are pretty good, since you can just discard Goblind and retrieve them later on. But also wheel effects like Sensation Gorger or Reforge the Soul are more effective, since we don't fully lose the hand we had before.

Don't forget that Wort also allows you to fetch Tribal spells from your graveyard. (Like Fodder Launch)
