Tectonic Giant

Creature — Elemental Giant

Whenever this attacks or becomes the target of a spell an opponent controls, choose one —

  • This deals 3 damage to each opponent.
  • Exile the top two cards of your library. Choose one of them. Until the end of your next turn, you may play that card.

What an excellent looking Rakdos deck for its budget; well done on that CuddlyViking!! Some more budget ideas for you:

  • Florian, Voldaren Scion: another great way to let damage against opponents create card advantage for you.
  • Parapet Thrasher: all one has to do is attack an opponent without any flying defenders and then choose the most appropriate bonus for the situation one's in. The mass damage effect is quite strong.
  • Sizzle: a lightning- (or fire-)bolt for everyone!
  • Tectonic Giant: an excellent high-impact creature that costs next to nothing these days. Even yields card-advantage in the form of being able to cast spells from exile.

Eager to hear from you how the deck plays!

Looking at Gisela,

Combustible Gearhulk and Tectonic Giant both give you card advantage and damage to an opponent. Gearhulk being more of a burst and Tectonic being consistent. Both are less mana intense in the long run.

AEther Flash: Older card that only kills one of your creature cards (and even that creature still gets its ETB) and keeps your opponents from only having creatures with at least 5 toughness with your commander out.

Descent into Avernus, Citadel of Pain, and Burning Earth play well and are on theme with mana barbs. They are also all similarly priced and the only expensive-ish cards I'll recommend.

Having at least one Sulfuric Vortex effect that stops life gain is good in a deck like this.

Rem Karolus, Stalwart Slayer could be put in and even work as a backup commander. Plus side, it costs the same.

My point is, there are a ton of better options and the plus side is there are cheap and nonoppressive options as well.

Edit: Typo correction

MusicGoat18 Love all the ideas. I will probably take some time to try all of them, but for sure I will include Glimpse the Cosmos and Tectonic Giant, I think they fit amazing. All the cards seem quite interesting. As you said, it is more of a casual dech, as something as this list would have no chance in the actual metagame, but just wanted to make a fun list full of giants. Thanks for the suggestions!

I'll take a better look at it later, but here are some card suggestions for the meantime: Tectonic Giant, Prophetic Titan, Glimpse the Cosmos, Lightning Bolt, Phantasmal Image, Sunrise Sovereign, Stinkdrinker Daredevil, Cyclone Summoner, Thundercloud Shaman (pardon if there are repeats or if they are already on your list). I'm not saying everything here should be used or is super good, this is more me listing out a bunch of ideas and options. I'm sure you're more in it for the fun and the casual, but with everything said, this deck will have a hard time in the current meta with all the crazy turn 2 wins and shenanigans. However, you never know when Wizards will release some pretty cool giant stuff in upcoming sets.

CommanderNeyo(cool name btw, I feel like I've said that before), KBK7101 doesn't utilize any Universes Beyond cards in their decks, TBD on Universes Within printings.

On topic though, but Brutal Hordechief and Tectonic Giant are both decent group slug additions that could round out that suite.

I see Anduril as similar because it costs 5 total mana to cast and equip, and Cathar's Crusade is also 5 cmc. Most of the common token producers that most Isshin strats tend to run like Myriad creatures, Hanweir Garrison  Meld, Hero of Bladehold, Krenko, Tin Street Kingpin, and Adeline, Resplendent Cathar each pump out 4+ tokens, depending if Isshin is out. Either way, creatures need to attack with Anduril equipped, or to make their tokens if Cathar's Crusade is on board. I think they have similarities in terms of their pacing, but aren't 1:1. If anything, to me, Anduril is like a pseudo-Cathar's Crusade for strats that don't have access to White.

I had Thundering Raiju on my Maybeboard for a bit. I think I ultimately ended up picking Tectonic Giant, as I liked the option to impulse draw, and have liked the consistency of 3-6 damage each time I've played it. Aside from Breena, the Demagogue, I haven't really felt the need to dedicate any other slots to +1/+1 counter antheming effects.
