This is a deck I was working on before Rivals. It is a Rakdos Control Deck With 2 differnt Non-Creature Combo kills. The only card from rivals is Azor's Gateway , which gives an extra win-condition that compliments the decks strategy, while also opening up Cut / Ribbons as the all-star "removal / finisher" it was meant to be.
Combo A:
.Faith of the Devoted + Midnight Oil.
-With oil out and with 0 counters on it you can dump your hand every turn for a minimum of 4 damage and 2 life-gain. That 6 point life swing every turn on its own is hard to race, but when you consider that you will often dump more than 2 cards a turn, or you might have a second faith out, or you might have a cycling card in hand to add to the math, that's when the clock speeds up. If you get both these cards out there's a good chance they will win the game for you, especially when they are backed up by amazing removal to control the board.
Combo B:
.Cut / Ribbons + Azor's Gateway
-The gateway is an interesting card to build around, when it flips it's crazy powerful and can power out game ending "ribbons" kills, but the investment for the front side is big. Not only does it want you to spend 1 mana each turn, but it wants you to do it at least 5 times before it will flip. Not only that, but it requires a broad spread of converted mana costs that can make deck building difficult. Luckily the card isn't completely dead as "looting" every turn happens to be very strong, and great for assembling our combo A, and pairing the gateway with Cut / Ribbons is great because cut is just a solid removal spell.
Tech Talk:
.Desert Cerodon This guys the perfect filler. He cycles early. He cycles late to Faith of the Devoted. Hes a beefy creature if you need. AND he counts as a 6 cmc card for Azor's Gateway .
.Sweltering Suns Burn them early, burn them often. And it cycles.
.Crypt of the Eternals Better than evolving wilds. It's 2 colors. It gains life!
.Razaketh's Rite Cycles for 1. Can find the missing piece.
.Never / Return 3 mana kill spell that hits walkers. Counts as 7 cmc spell for Azor's Gateway . Aftermath is relevant.
Sideboard:
.Abrade More removal. Artifact hate.
.Duress Hand disruption. Control hate.
.Archfiend of Ifnir Board wipe / Win-con. Token hate.
.Lost Legacy Combo hate.
.Arguel's Blood Fast
Long game. Control hate.
.Torment of Hailfire Win-con. Swap for Cut / Ribbons against control.
