A continuation of my pet Empty the Warrens black+red storm list. With the new(ish) Rakdos, the Showstopper the deck has a new commander to play with. Like earlier versions, sometimes the deck doesn't see a good line to storm, and can just ritual out the beat-stick commander for an alternative win. And like before, there is zero interaction in the deck past the pseudo boardwipe Rakdos provides.

The original list ran Dragonlord Kolaghan for a very long time. The creation and evolution of this deck is detailed here;
