Rakdos Riteknife is a very cool card, but it's kept in check by its... clunkiness. Needing to tap each turn to pile up those blood counters is sure to slow you down, meaning you won't even get to enjoy that +X/+0 bonus along the way.

But where there's a will, there's a goblin-assisted way. Goblin Sharpshooter is uniquely talented in performing as many ritual sacrifices as you want in a single afternoon. Sac a goblin, rack up another counter, untap the Sharpshooter and repeat. If you're got a number of critters that can provide two or three sacrifices from a single body, you can cash them in to completely wipe your opponent's board!

Mogg War Marshal is two mana for a whopping three sacrifices, so long as you cash them all in before your next upkeep. Putrid Goblin and Tuktuk the Explorer are both a respectable two, but you might want to hold onto that handy 5/5 body for a while. Fireblade Charger is only one body but you get a free point of damage out of the deal to pick off a weenie who might be sacrifice bait - or more, if he's holding the knife when it happens! While you're ditching all these goblins, Mayhem Devil and Pashalik Mons can throw damage around, taking out any problem critters across the board or wearing your opponent's life down.

When you're finally ready, nail your opponent with enough sacrifices to completely empty out his board, leaving him helpless as your ragtag survivors finish him off!
