Commander / EDH BR (Rakdos) Group Slug

NotaNetDeck


Maybeboard


First and foremost, this deck was made for 4-player FFA EDH as well as 2HG on MTGO because my other decks on the server weren't suited to it, whether they were outrageously silly or fun-quashingly powerful.

My goal was to throw together an original, synergetic, goodstuff, Commander deck with a bit of randomness to it (i.e. Grenzo). If it's not obvious, I'm playing Fat Grenzo. Unlike Skinny Grenzo, he requires X to be high (X=4 is best). With enough mana he will win the game easily. I also steered clear of infinite combos, going so far as to make sure that Carnifex Demon + Mikaeus, the Unhallowed + Soulbright Flamekin + a sac engine =/= infinite mana. Death triggers are ubiquitous, and I'm getting a Liliana, Heretical Healer as soon as Magic Origins comes out. The deck is also very mana/draw-hungry so I threw in as many of said effects "on legs" as possible.

On another note, I love this deck, and while I know it's currently far from refined and I'll accept (constructive) criticism I won't accept downright negativity. Here are cards that I'm actually looking to replace:

Underworld Cerberus (the anti-synergy during its life negates the hug-like ability's benefit upon its death), ananthemancer (it always deals less damage than I need it to), and possibly Heartless Summoning since it prohibits my using sac engines without a lord.

There are several problems I'm looking to address. One is that the deck rarely gets off the ground without broken mana rocks or Heartstone. So far I've assumed that was just part of running Fat Grenzo but I'm not convinced. Another is that I haven't put in Leyline of the Void yet because I haven't entirely needed to. Perhaps the biggest one is that casting Grenzo for X=4 just takes way too d*mn long. I mitigated this a bit with Hero's Blade and Heartless Summoning but getting everyone's favorite hunchback to 6 power is still incredibly irritating.

All that said, I look forward to your feedback and suggestions!

EDIT: EVIDENCE OF DEGENERACY: I had a game recently where I got a T3 6/6 Grenzo. T4 I Grenzo'd into Carnifex Demon , Mikaeus, the Unhallowed, Akroma, Angel of Fury, and Urabrask the Hidden for a billion damage.
