DreadKhan on Painful chaos

I have a Rakdos deck that's trying to do some similar things, I leaned into creatures that could double as removal, some games you can eliminate a player by resolving an early Dwarven Miner/Dwarven Blastminer, Tsabo Tavoc is a hilarious card in a Commander game, Olivia Voldaren and Drana, Kalastria Bloodchief make very good use of late game mana and can create a whole mess of trouble, maybe War Cadence is a very political card I love to try to sneak into decks, the really sweet part is you can use it on an opponent's attack to help THEM get in, and an Archenemy is tapped out that means you only need to spend {1} to make everything unblockable... it's a real skill testing card IMHO. Rite of the Raging Storm can kill off any opponents that don't have blockers, and it survives most Wraths. It's also a sacrifice effect when it dies, so it works with Mayhem Devil without support. Even without it's combo I find Exquisite Blood can be an amazing card, it's hilarious with Protection Racket out! If you want things to get chaotic/people to have to make choices you might like some of the Dr. Who stuff, the only card I personally use is Ensnared by the Mara, which isn't too jarring IMHO, most people wouldn't realize it's Universes Beyond at a Glance IMHO. Humble Defector is a fun card even if you don't run ways to kill him off right after he changes hands, some players will agree to trade him back even! Din of the Fireherd and Fevered Suspicion are pretty chaotic effects, though some people will really get up in arms if you take away more than a couple lands! Speaking of taking a couple lands, Volcanic Offering is hilarious IMHO.

Rakdos isn't the ideal colours to make him pop but I still like Brash Taunter, he's also great with anything that gives him lifelink, but it's surprising value if you can resolve something like Scavenged Brawler on Taunter, it's worth noting that Brawler would also help turn Vial Smasher into a much better threat/life source.

Finally, have you thought about some auctions, maybe Thieves' Auction or Illicit Auction? 5 mana to maybe not get a creature isn't amazing, but in practice if you ever have the most life it's just 5 mana to steal whichever creature you want! Thieves' Auction is a good card if you have a lot of permanents that work just by being out (like symmetrical chaos effects), but it's also decent if you don't run an especially sturdy board (since you pick first!), I've had situations where nothing on my board was taken until everyone else's boards were taken, my cards were that bad! Such a great feeling to get value out of stuff like Thieves' Auction.

I like the idea of your list here, you might get a kick out of my Pavel the Mighty, Hero We Deserve list, it's a Chaos deck that overflows with pet cards!

Nacht, I took your advice and picked up Toshiro Umezawa from my LGS and replaced Din of the Fireherd. Thank you for your great suggestion!

Ah, Amulet is indeed there, appears I cannot read today!

As for what to remove for Toshiro, perhaps Din of the Fireherd? Pretty hard to choose any card to remove if I'm being honest, you've got some very interesting choices in there that'll do some work.

Looking at this deck, Master of Cruelties comes to mind. Also Din of the Fireherd, Hellhole Rats and, Sword of Feast and Famine are nasty. The deck does not have much ramp. I would suggest adding cards like Sol Ring, Darksteel Ingot and, Commander's Sphere. Also cards like, The Eldest Reborn, can help if you are playing against more then one opponent. But other then that, this deck looks great!

DrkNinja The way the deck is currently built, Cascading Cataracts doesn't do as much as it could, and I need to make some changes to the mana base to properly use it. I might end up getting Mana Reflection for this deck. Nothing is going to make my deck any less quirky and awkward, thats just the way I want this version of Jodah to be, so long as it works.

I might run Mycosynth Lattice, and run more cards that do stuff with artifacts. I just have to keep in mind it is a nonbo with Din of the Fireherd. I really want to see what I can do with a 5 color artifacts deck so that might end up becoming a second Jodah deck.
