Hellegion (Raphael)
2 months ago
After several more battles, things have begun to shift within the Hellegion. While the Balrog couldn’t even be bothered to wake, another giant is slowly taking the stage. Rakdos’s power and strength are rising, and so is his influence within the Hellegion. It’s becoming very likely that he’ll soon demand the position of commander.
Several black demons have stepped back, leaving Hellegion in search of their own designs. Who knows if they’ll return or reappear in another deck. I’ve heard whispers about Liliana — she would probably welcome some of them.
Feaster of Fools, Goremand, Arbiter of Woe, Dreadhound, Archfiend of Spite, and Embodiment of Agonies have departed. Perforating Artist no longer amuses Rakdos with his petty tricks, and the skeletons have turned to dust.
Rakdos’s growing presence is felt in cards like Rakdos, the Showstopper and Rakdos Joins Up. Juri, Master of the Revue joins to us, and there's now more spotlight for Judith through Judith, Carnage Connoisseur.
Belzenlok’s influence deepens with Rite of Belzenlok, and someone powerful has joined the Hellegion — Ardyn, the Usurper. Though his price is high and he leans heavily into black, I decided to accept his services.
But other beings circle the fire, waiting for their moment.
As Rakdos’s power swells, cards like Rakdos, Patron of Chaos and the guild’s signature mana rocks — Rakdos Cluestone, Rakdos Keyrune, Rakdos Locket — are seeing more attention to support the shift toward a stronger Rakdos color identity.
Infernal Grasp is another devilish trick straight from the pit.
The paths ahead are unclear. Dark beings still linger at the edge, ready to offer their power to the Hellegion — for a price: Skirsdag High Priest, Doom Whisperer, Overseer of the Damned, Spawn of Mayhem, and others...
I also cracked a Mount Doom recently and added it to the deck. I think it fits quite well here.

You could cut some lands to add the Rakdos mana artifacts, they all show a little devil symbol in the art XD
Rakdos Signet, Rakdos Cluestone, Rakdos Locket
Also Rakdos lands Rakdos Guildgate, Rakdos Carnarium, Blood Crypt

Ogre Jailbreaker's going to have to come out, then, without the watermark. Morgue Burst is only (barely) worth its cost with Spawn of Rix Maadi. The bulk of the creatures should be 2- and 3- mana, and Auger Spree will be pure removal most of the time. Deviant Glee is probably the single best card here. My take on the creatures, tiered from best to worst, is
Best
Filler
Skip
Skull Rend is okay-ish in 1v1, Rakdos Cluestone is pretty good, and the Rakdos Guildgate is the best dual land you have access to.

Update!
Out: Seething Song
In: Rakdos Cluestone
Seething Song has really only paid off once or twice playing this deck, and is often a dead card in hand. The cluestone will be a decent artifact to make a color or, if needed, draw a card.

Horror, Carnage, and Annihilation. All are Rakdos.

gavriel1136 Thanks for bringing that to my attention! You are correct. I built this deck when I was newer to magic and didn't know any better. I guess I havent looked at the description in awhile to see if there are any other mistakes. I'll definitely do that soon.
This deck is also about to get a "tune" up as I'm playing rocks like Rakdos Locket and Rakdos Cluestone but not an Arcane Signet. I'm in black and playing Gamble instead of other, better tutors. There are other things I'll change but those are good examples of me updating the deck. Any ideas for cards I should be looking into?

- Avarice Amulet > Folio of Fancies (Just a better card in this slot, cheaper cmc and will do more for you overall)
- Seer's Lantern > Mind Stone (Cheaper cmc mana rock)
- Rakdos Locket > Rakdos Signet
- Izzet Locket > Izzet Signet
- Dimir Locket > Dimir Signet (Signets are just much, much better)
- Cursed Rack > Mountain (Cursed Rack is just average and very narrow in your deck)
- Sulfur Falls > Swiftwater Cliffs (Slight downgrade but saves $3.00 USD)
- Canyon Slough > Rakdos Guildgate (Saves cash, Canyon Slough enters tapped just the same, the reason this costs more $$ is because it has Swamp and Mountain in its land type, rare for non-basic lands, it means it can be fetched by fetch-lands like Bloodstained Mire )
- Revolutionary Rebuff > Arcane Denial (Counters any spell and adds some draw for you and opponent, which likely means 2 more damage for them too, an added bonus)
- Manalith > Wayfarer's Bauble (Manalith is pretty average at 3cmc, land-ramp with the Bauble is better in this case)
- Rakdos Cluestone > Star Compass
