Going back to Rakdos for my next Pauper deck since I tend to feel at home with this color combination for whatever reason.

This is a Menace/Counter/Sacrifice deck that uses a variety of synergies to make thicc mid-range threats on a consistent basis.

The combo that first inspired me to make this deck involved stealing an opponent's creature for one mana with Tentative Connection while I had a menace creature out. Then I use one of my various sac outlets to get rid of the creature without shrinking my own board state.

Since Carrion Feeder is probably one of the most efficient sac outlets in Pauper, I decided to include him even though he inherently didn't have Menace.

I then noticed that Hagra Constrictor gave all my creatures with +1/+1 counters menace, and so, naturally, I decided to intertwine the two strategies together along with the sacrifice sub-theme to form this beast of a deck.
