After looking around at some of the Rakdos decks on here ive decided to put one together myself since I love the B/R combo. There were several decks I drew inspiration from and as soon as I find them again I will post links to the decks.
I have always loved playing black for its murdering capabilities as well as some aggro, and red is awesome for just killing things, so why not combine the two. This deck was designed to keep opponents creatures off the field so mine can get through.
--Creatures--Desecration Demon - opponent makes a choice: sac a creature to prevent it from attacking this turn which buffs it, or take some serious damage in the face.
Pack Rat - whats a black aggro deck without the rat pack?
Liliana's Reaver - block it or u discard a card and I get a token. nuff said
Gray Merchant of Asphodel - for when you wanna smack your opponent in the face and they cant do anything about it. also gives you health back which is a plus.
Mogis's Marauder - intimidate and haste, whats not to love?
Rakdos Shred-Freak - Early game haste or sacrifice for the rat pack (lookin to replace him with something, just cant figure out what right now)
Rakdos, Lord of Riots - for when I poke you turn four and lay down a beast. this guy really puts the pressure on your opponent, especially with his ability to reduce the mana cost of creatures.
--Spells--Thoughtseize - for dealing with things before they become an issue
Slaughter Games for dealing with more things before they become an issue.
Hero's Downfall, Doom Blade, Dreadbore - for dealing with things after they become an issue
Whip of Erebos - for lifegain and creature rez. works wonders when getting back the gray merchant or mogis's marauder
Read the Bones and Underworld Connections - you can always use an extra card or two.
My idea for this deck is to keep their field clear so I can attack. looking to get a couple Mogis, God of Slaughter to help keep pressure on my opponent.
This evolved from a mono-black deck that made it into the top 4 at FNM a couple weeks back because I didn't wanna be the only person there playin a mono deck plus I love the Rakdos play style. any help streamlining this deck would be greatly appreciated as I need some work on the sideboard as well. workin on a semi budget, so no stormbreath dragons or the likes please.
