BIG ANNOUNCMENT! I CANNOT THANK Y'ALL ENOUGH!! —Nov. 14, 2020

The big announcement is...you all have OFFICIALLY made me the HIGHEST RAKDOS THE DEFILER DECK ON TAPPED OUT! Thank you all for the support and upvotes. This deck was one of the first decks I have ever created. It was done without a template or copying other decks because I wanted to stick to the themes I had in mind. It may not be competitive or as synergetic as others, but I am proud that it has lasted the through the ages. Thank you all again!

Due to this milestone for the deck, I've actually gone through and tuned it to my knowledge and budget. Because it was made so long ago, there were many cards that are on the lower budget and clunky side. Example, I have taken out Rakdos Locket and Rakdos Cluestone for Talisman of Indulgence and Arcane Signet. I have switched Beseech the Queen for the strictly better Grim Tutor. While there were a couple cards I have been meaning to add (Ugin, the Ineffable and Feed the Swarm) I've been busy so I was unable to upgrade one of my favorite decks. Don't worry! The integrity of the deck is intact. These changes just allow for more efficiency and hopefully power now that I can deal with enchantments a little easier. Thanks for looking and thank you again for getting me to be there highest Rakdos the Defiler deck on Tapped Out!

Love the flavor! One nitpick, I'm not sure Wake of Destruction works with Urborg the way you wrote. If I'm not mistaken, Wake destroys each land with the same NAME. Urborg gives each land a similar TYPE. Consider any dual land cycle as an example: Watery Grave.

Otherwise looks really crazy and fun!

gavriel1136 Thanks for bringing that to my attention! You are correct. I built this deck when I was newer to magic and didn't know any better. I guess I havent looked at the description in awhile to see if there are any other mistakes. I'll definitely do that soon.

This deck is also about to get a "tune" up as I'm playing rocks like Rakdos Locket and Rakdos Cluestone but not an Arcane Signet. I'm in black and playing Gamble instead of other, better tutors. There are other things I'll change but those are good examples of me updating the deck. Any ideas for cards I should be looking into?
