• Introduction:

Men are weak. Men are liars. We, the cult of Rakdos, do not believe in lies. We do not believe in the law. We can only revel. Because life is short. We search for new sensations. New experiences. And blood. Blood is the only thing all living beings have in common. And is deliciously red. If you enjoy nonstop orgy, death, and sadomasochism, join our cult!

  • The deck:

Pain is the real deal here, as you need your opponents to take damage in order to even cast your commander. When he is on the field, he will reduce the cost of your creatures on hand a lot just by causing more damage, so embrace the group slug, and hit everyone and everything for profit and free eldrazi.

Apart from being the Parum of the Rakdos cult, he is a powerful demon that can flip the game by letting you cast for almost free very powerful creatures, and for free colorless creatures. The only limit is provided by the damage you are able to deal to your opponents in a swoop.

  • The deck's weaknesses:

We do need a direct pinging creature or artifact in order to be able to cast our commander, so having one in our starting hand is advised. The best one you have is Cryptolith Fragment  , but any pinger will work. If you are not able to get a pinger on time, your deck will fall short and be overwhelmed.  You can also run out of gas given the occasion, so be sure to finish up the game as soon as possible.

  • The deck's strengths:

This is another very explosive deck, capable or insanely powerful turns, extremely early. Additionally, you have some boardwiping demons that don't even touch your side of the table and will be casted for 2 or 3 mana at most, and another especially good demon that forces mass discard every turn, getting rid of those persky boardwipes that might be desperately thrown at us. To end the game, you will also be provided with titanic eldrazi.
