I don't know what happened to it. Maybe you guys have it?

My received Secret Santa deck albeit with some hefty modifications. The idea is that Rakdos the Defiler kinda sucks. Like his ability is so much risk with so little reward. Swinging with him is often a liability and leads to his attack being negated and you being down half your stuff. Demon tribal is overly expensive and too narrow. So why should you deal with his crap when your opponents can?

Give Rakdos to people (Assault Suit, Harmless Offering) and force him to attack (Fumiko the Lowblood, Goblin Spymaster, Rage Nimbus, etc). Then they'll be out of their permanents and either smacked an opponent and got rid of their stuff or you negate the attack with Maze of Ith/Spires of Orazca/Homeward Path.

Backup plan is to use Insurrection/Mob Rule to get a ton of permanents (not your own) and sac them to help nullify Rakdos's trigger.

There's additionally some other packages to help you out. Skullclamp + your recursive creatures help you draw cards, Blood Speaker has a lot of utility targets, and there's kinda an aristocrats subtheme to the deck because why not.

It's a WIP and needs a lot of testing but the idea seems fun.
