Not just another typical MonoB deck running Pack Rats and Desecration Demons. One thing this deck doesn't have, are $30+ Mutavaults. Who can afford to play magic with cards costing that much?!

While this deck isn't quite at budget scale, it is modestly valued. Let's get to strategy. Typical Rakdos aggro in Spike Jester , Rakdos Cackler , Mogis's Marauder , Pack Rat, and then later Desecration Demon. Instead of running Underworld Connections, I've opted for Read the Bones because I like the deeper dig it gives.

Lots of removal in Devour Flesh, Lightning Strike, Magma Jet, and Hero's Demise . Pretty straightfoward, hit when you can, as hard as you can. Then drop a Mogis, God of Slaughter and watch your opponent wilt away.

Sideboard to deal with some problem decks, Dark Betrayal for the obvious heavy black metagame, Slaughter Games for combo destruction, Anger of the Gods deals with weenie decks, other aggros, and those pain in the ass Xathird Necromancer tribal humans. I threw Elixir of Immortality in there just because my LGS has several fanbois of the mill deck and it's a cheap fix to deal with their crap.
