Scrawling Crawler
Artifact Creature — Phyrexian Construct
At the beginning of your upkeep, each player draws a card.
Whenever an opponent draws a card, that player loses 1 life.

Welcome Back to Magic. I broke my description down to the three deck types yer seeking.
Aristocrats: Take advantage of death triggers to hurt your opponent. Examples of cards are Blood Artist, Dreadhorde Butcher and Zulaport Cutthroat. Graveyard recursion cards like Disentomb, Gravedigger, Mortuary Mire and Valgavoth's Faithful should be considered.
Burn: Spells, instants and sorceries, and abilities of permanents that deal noncombat damage. Examples include, but are not limited to, Blightning, Bonfire of the Damned and Lightning Bolt. Cards you should add to any Rakdos burn deck include, but are not limited to, Pestilent Spirit, Soul-Scar Mage and Toralf, God of Fury Flip.
Punisher: A Sophie's Choice in every spell. Examples include, but are not limited to, Book Burning, Dash Hopes, Killing Wave, Painful Quandary and Vexing Devil. I would also consider any creature with the Afflict ability, especially Wildfire Eternal to be punisher cards.
As for cards that will feed into your commander's static ability, I would recommend Burning Anger, Psychosis Crawler, Scrawling Crawler and Sheoldred, the Apocalypse.
Thank you for reading me out. I hope this helps give you a baseline of what you're looking for. Happy Hunting!

Valgavoth, Harrower of souls (HF-1)

Hey, welcome to TappedOut.net! I would recommend listing you basic lands under one art image so the counts are more accurate. We can chat about the mana base another time.
Here are a few quick suggestions;
Sulfurous Springs - Replace Ash Barrens
Basilisk Collar - Lifelink to keep your HP at a healthy amount and deathtouch for a decent chump-blocker.
Razorkin Needlehead - Ping dmg on opp turns.
Blasphemous Edict - Board wipes are needed along with targeted removal.
Stormfist Crusader - Card draw
Roiling Vortex - This reads, "Yes, yes, and more please."
Scrawling Crawler - Yes, you have your opps drawing more cards, but they will pay for it with their life. You will also draw more cards. Taking advantage of the "symmetric" card draw by making it weighted in your favor.
Florian, Voldaren Scion - Card selection and Card draw.
Underworld Dreams - Ping dmg on opp turns.
Withering Torment - Enchantment removal is extremely rare in Rakdos Colors.
Ankh of Mishra - Ping dmg on opp turns.
Rug of Smothering - Ping dmg on opp turns.
Nightshade Harvester - Ping dmg on opp turns.
Magebane Lizard - Ping dmg on opp turns and keeps spell decks in check.
Cemetery Gatekeeper - Exile someone's fetch land from a GY. Then, whenever a player play a land you ping for 2 dmg.
Malakir Rebirth Flip - A tapped land with a great spell on the backside.
Reanimate - Any graveyard...
I believe you opened a Bloodthirsty Conqueror!!
Expensive:
Zo-Zu the Punisher - I may have one of these for trade. I'll check.
As far a cuts:
Vile Entomber - Easy cut.
Olivia, Crimson Bride I would lose the graveyard reanimator subtheme.
Valgavoth's Lair - With your deck only being in two colors and with no add value for the land being an enchantment (the extra card type becomes more of a risk than reward), I would cut this land.
Enchanter's Bane - Just not strong enough and the damage isn't on your opponents turns.
Mask of Griselbrand - Too expensive to cast/equip and requires the creature to die for the card draw to trigger.
Temple of the False God - Easy cut. The pay off isn't there and the number of times you won't be able to tap this land for mana isn't worth the upside.
Light Up the Stage - There is better card draw.
Braids, Arisen Nightmare - The group slug effect is nice, but a potential cut due to being non-targeted removal/group sacrifice.
Massacre Girl - Black has better board wipes that can't miss.
Ash Barrens - Easy cut for a land more suited to your deck build.
Bloodfell Caves - Easy cut for a land more suited to your deck build.

I have replaced Master of the Feast with Scrawling Crawler, since, as nice as it was to have a 5/3 flying beater for only 3 mana, the crawler is a better match, for this deck, since it has a more lenient casting cost, draws me a card, as well, and also provides another way to hurt my opponents, when they draw cards.
I contemplated replacing Tidal Barracuda with High Fae Trickster, but I ultimately chose to keep the barracuda, in this deck, since it works well with this decks group hug/group slug strategy, and it would also be nice to put Niv-Mizzet, Visionary into this deck, as well, but I am not certain what card I would remove, to make room for that card.

- 4x Orcish Bowmasters
- 3x Sorin of House Markov Flip
- 4x Scrawling Crawler

DemonDragonJ on Foundations Speculation and Discussion
2 months ago
I am very surprised to see that there is no thread yet for discussing the upcoming Foundations set, so I am making such a thread.
I shall not write and elaborate introduction, but there are many cards in that set in which I am very interested; High Fae Trickster is very powerful, and I intend to put it into nearly all of my EDH decks that contain the color blue (Tidal Barracuda and Leyline of Anticipation are still good, in certain decks); I simply must find a way to put perforating artist into my decks that contain the colors red and black; and Scrawling Crawler is an obvious inclusion for my Nekusar, the Mindrazer deck. Is Firespitter Whelp worth the 1 additional mana over Kessig Flamebreather for it to have flying?
Two cards that could have been good, if not for very minor and ridiculous drawbacks, are ravenous amulet and wardens of the cycle; in the case of the wardens, I undersand that WotC had their ability trigger only on their controller's end step, to avoid rendering Deathreap Ritual completely obsolete, but why is the first ability of the amulet usable only as a sorcery, when the second ability can be used as an instant? That severely limits its utility.
What does everyone else here say about this set? Are you excited for Foundations? What are you hoping to see, from it? I am very eager to begin discussion of this set!
