Sideboard


Reviving rent rabble is really rewarding!

Also: Alesha, Who Smiles at FUCKING ZOMBIES, MAN!

Alright - let's break it down:

The Strategy


So this a Rakdos Aggro deck with all kinds of graveyard shenanigans and internal synergy. It also can play the midrange game and even a twisted sort of control game, given time. The linchpin of this deck - the very reason it exists, even - is Alesha, Who Smiles at Death. In fact, the only creature in the deck that can't be brought back with Alesha is Alesha. And the big end game is a little guy who has seen ABSOLUTELY NO PLAY SINCE RTR ROTATED OUT, ARE YOU KIDDING ME?

The Cards


--Alesha, Who Smiles at Death - The Big Cheese. The Big Kahuna (Khanhuna? eheh). Waifu. You get it.

--Tymaret, the Murder King - This little recursive bugger is a burn spell, a threat that never goes away, and an absolute house against control. Especially in tandem with...

--Bloodsoaked Champion - He never dies! Well, I mean, he dies all the time - but he gets better! Blocking is overrated.

--Sibsig Host - This is a concession to Murderous Cut, Alesha, and Anger of the Gods. Fuels Cut, survives Anger, and feeds the waifu. Honestly, I'd replace it if there was a better alternative.

--Necromancer's Stockpile - It may not be the best card in the deck, but it certainly is the most important! This card takes over the game with any other cards in play, if it resolves. It keeps the cards coming, gets me out of mana-screw, feeds the waifu... You get it. I also have a number of zombies lurking about, as well.

--Tormenting Voice - Synergy! Card advantage! Things!

Everything else is either more aggression, a part of the removal suite, or Whip of Erebos.

The Sideboard


--Hero's Downfall - For control and other decks where Lightning Strike doesn't cut it.

--Tymaret, the Murder King - Great against control, and comes in in any matchup where I need more, ah, value.

--Necromancer's Stockpile - A fourth for the extra Kings and needed value in matchups.

--Magma Jet - Good against decks like - ah, well, against decks like this one! Low to the ground, with several creatures that die to it.

--Boon of Erebos - It triggers Heroic! And saves a guy from a grisly demise. Good fun.

--Arc Lightning - More spot removal - but this shot can blot three spots!.

And that ought to cover it all! Thanks for reading, viewing, and upvoting if you have - the support goes a long way in the heart of a Johnny/Spike, believe you me!
