This was, if not my first EDH deck, my first favorite deck. It's trying to build around a terrible tribe: demons. IF you can get enough demons, it doesn't matter if you sack your lands to Rakdos's brutal combat trigger. The deck is black red in spirit all the way through. No way to dodge the pain, for anyone. Lots of ways to make a deck with a terrible curve play a little better, and then just demons.

And if none of that works for some reason, you can just count to turn 6 and hit somebody with General itself.

Still like this deck. Fun fact, it contains my first and second favorite cards in magic. First favorite? Spiteful Visions. Second? OG Rakdos.

This deck started terrible, back before Commander was a thing, because demons were as a rule, terrible. It gets better every time they release a set. Soon, there won't be a real downside in the deck besides Rakdos.

This deck exists in paper.
