I find the need to be the demon...

Excited for the new SL Drop featuring Liliana's Contract and her demonic counter-parties and still looking for a good home for Blood on the Snow, so I thought I'd give Rakdos a shot. This is - as intended - a super-casual but fun deck with a high curve and a couple of alternate win conditions in the Contract and Master of Cruelties, which can enable the fabled Sign in Blood kill. There is also a focus on demons with ETB abilities - including our dear leader Rakdos - which are further bolstered by Panharmonicon and Conjurer's Closet (they'll never see blink coming in these colors, right?).

And if the height of that mana curve looks daunting, don't worry; Stinkweed Imp and Altar of Dementia are here to fill our graveyard full of demons to bring back into play with our suite of recursion.

What do you think?
