Madcap Herald of Mogis

Standard Aggro BR (Rakdos) Budget

This deck has gone through a ton of changes so I thought I would make a fresh start.

The idea of this deck is the same as most rakdos decks, get the gas out quick and smash in for as much damage as possible!

Cards:

Creatures:

Rakdos Cackler : Solid 1 drop but can be useful later especially before dropping a mogis marauder

Rakdos Shred-Freak : all important early game haste, chose this over the spike jester as it's easier to get onto the field and is less painful to lose!

Spiteful Returned : even though it'd a 1/1 it gets 2 free damage just for attacking plus turn 4 it can be bestowed and boost a herald of torment

Spike Jester : i was using thrill kill assassin but i felt that the fast 3 damage just works better!

Herald of Torment : This card wins me so many games! if you can ignore the cost of using this card you'll have a 3/3 flyer by turn 3. bestow madcap skills for a beast! if the game runs a little longer its great for bestowing on any of your creatures

Mogis's Marauder :as long as your'e not facing down black this card is insane! get a few attackers down on the field and just take damage for a few turns then just blast thorough for massive damage! this card can be sided out against black for extra removal

Mogis, God of Slaughter: as soon as mogis is down the opponent is on a clock! theyre either losing creatures each turn or losing life each turn either way this helps burn them out!

Purphoros, God of the Forge: dont have another mogis so purphoros is filling the spot atm! still fits well with the cheap creatures i can drop down plus i can use up some of the extra red mana i have to boost up attacks, especially if ive used mogiss marauder!

instants/enchantments/sorceries

Lightning Strike : good removal still working on something else

Dreadbore: cheap removal that can deal with any annoying creatures or planeswalkers on the field

Madcap Skills: if you get this turn 2 onto a rakdos cackler youll be hitting for so quickly! use your removal to keep their creatures to 1 and theyll never stop you!

Magma Jet: good cheap removal and that scry 2 is so handy early on!

Land

Ive gone with 11 Swamp 7Mountain and the full set of 4 Temple of Malice

The land base needs a lot of tweaking but im happy atm! if i can get hold of shocklands i'll add those but im happy as is

SideBoard

working on this :P keep changing it

Advice is always welcome! i think im happy with how this deck looks but ill get some testing done soon and see how it actually performs!

Updates Add

was short 1 Herald of Torment so i ran 1 Tymaret, the Murder King and decided at the last minute to drop Underworld Connections and Whip of Erebos for 2 Lightning Strike

I lost 2 games coz they were both running Soldier of the Pantheon and Fiendslayer Paladin alsong with loads of things which were just complete counters to this deck!
