Burn! Kill! Maim! Burn! Kill! Maim!

Commander / EDH* BR (Rakdos)

Dominatus


Many EDH games drag on for exasperatingly long amounts of time. Sometimes I drink all the soda in my can. Sometimes I need to go to the bathroom. Hell sometimes I just want to lay under the table and mutter to myself about how much I hate blue control decks. However I can't do anything about any of those things when I'm still in the recursive nightmare that is two or three hour EDH games! As such I have hand crafted out of entirely organic and free range Rakdos cards a deck that will solve that problem. Rakdos, Lord of Riots hits like an angry firetruck for four CMC! That's not all though! As he beats your opponents skull into their pelvis he brings his friends to the table to help him dismember your hapless foes!

To play Rakdos you of course need to deal direct damage to a player, but fortunately we're running the "Shiv them in the kidneys" color combination! Just start throwing shit at them! Lightning Strike and Lightning Bolt are a great warm up, then later turn everyone to ash with Conflagrate and Banefire !

"That's pretty great!" You say "But what about those wacky hijinks Rakdos is always up to?" I've got you covered my maniacal friend! Do you know you don't want your enemy to have the cards in their hand, do you also feel your hand is too boring? Reforge the Soul and Dragon Mage take you for a spin into new hand land! Don't want anyone to have anything?! Sire Of Insanity steals the hopes and dreams from right under you foes noses!

Finally we realize "Hey if I throw -everything- at everyone I'll run out of ammunition for my automatic assault ax!" Not to worry! EDH gives your foes so much life that a half dozen explosions can't kill them, so what do we do? WE GET MORE EXPLOSIONS! Phyrexian Arena , Sign in Blood , Night's Whisper , Promise of Power and Ambition's Cost are great (no Rakdos player should have all their life!), bring around Bloodgift Demon for free cards and a refreshing beverage!

If somehow you've managed to get into the unfortunate positions of a dozen turns in Earthquake , Magmaquake , and Fire Covenant can wipe out entire boards and allow you to go on an unopposed offensive.
