Here is my fun, budget'ish, rakdos discount deck! We are gonna use the demon's effect of reducing creatures cost for the amount of life lost from opponents to our benefit. The more people playing in the game the bigger our payoff is! (example is blood toll harpy makes each player lose 1 life, in a 4 player game that would reduce costs by 3 because we have 3 opponents who all lost life this turn) Play big creatures for little to no mana each turn while draining your opponents life away! Heres' how were gonna do it!

Blood toll harpy, cauldron familiar, maggot carrier, mardu shadowspear, nightmarket lookout are all low cost creatures that can reduce the cost of creatures when rakdos is out. Familiar and maggot carrier are like dark ritual in this deck!

Dire fleet ravager, palace siege, magmasaur, fanatic of mogis, gray merchant of asphodel and rathi fiend are all just bigger versions of the cost reduction plan.

Manalith, cultivator caravan, chromatic lantern, kholagan monument, leaden myr, iron myr, and the rakdos rocks are all just basic ramp.

Forerunner of coalition/empire, giant harbinger, conduit of ruin and hoarding dragon are all tutor like effects to get what you need!

Burning suns avatar, hammerfist giant and magma giant are all good big creatures that do a bit of damage too.

Combustible gearhulk, grim haruspex, sandstone oracle, tithebearer giant, ambitious cost, ancient craving, read the bones and toil are all there to refill our hand with big dudes. With the right cards, gearhulk can kill someone out of nowhere.

Searing spear, magma jet, lightning strike, fiery confluence all are removal, finishers and can reduce cost of creatures!

Unlicensed disintigration, murder and doomblade are all just good removal.

Toil, skullrend and rakdos charm are good utility cards.

Abundant maw and distended mindbender can be grabbed with conduit of ruin and are just fun cards that seem to work well with the deck.

artisan of kozilek, bane of bala ged, breaker of armies, desolation twin, eldrazi devastator hand of emrakul, ruin processor and ulamogs crusher are all big eldrazi, some can help clear away the board with annihilator like effect.

cryptborn horror can be cast after a big life loss effect and be a huge creature for little mana.

nightfire giant isnt great but I like him.

Hambletback goliath can get monstrously big, especially when your casting 2 or 3 big eldrazi a turn.

Im still working on the land base and there are a lot of better cards you can put in but I'm trying to keep it somewhat budget. If there are any cards you would add or take away, or any good effects im not thinking of please leave me a comment!
