I JUST REALLY LOVE LATINAS - CAN I HAVE YOURS?!

Commander / EDH* BR (Rakdos)

Shadow loves his Latinas, and he is Mr. Steal Yo Gurl, so hide your kids, hide your wife from this guy before he takes them for himself!

We are using 19 total Act of Treason effects to steal all your Latinas, in style too. Then when we have them, we are going to sac them for value! We love some chaotic control around here.

Shadow benefits from artifacts that create mana, and he is playing in colors where mana fixing can be difficult, so we use springleaf drum, coldsteel heart, solar transformer, collector's vault, treasure dodger, wizard's rockets, prohpetic prism, and darksteel ingot to fix our mana. BBRR is difficult to consistently play turn 4, but these should help.

To generate value off the stolen creatures, we have soldevi agnate, vampiric rites, yaheeni, dark-dweller oracle, asnod's altar, umbral collar zealot, ruthless knave, altar of dementia, village rites, rankle, viscera seer, saw in half, and mutual destruction. We can use Kiki-Jiki to copy the stolen creatures for their etb effects as well!

Want to be truly evil? Use Cured Recording to copy your Act of Treason spells for even more benefits! Or after stealing a creature away, use Harmless Offering to give the stolen creature to someone else. Since it is no longer under your control, it will not return to the owner at end of turn. You can also saw in half the stolen creature, and then you don't have to return it at end of turn either. Even use the fire crystal to copy your enemies' commanders under your control, destroy the original, and keep your own copy.

Your opponents' thought their creatures were free from Shadow in death? Nooo, they are forever his. Geth, Lord of the Vault and Kaya's Ghostform allow them to be his, forever.

It's late game and our graveyard is getting large? No worries! Dread Return, Necrotic Ooze, Postmortem Lunge, and Chainer, Nightmare Adept will always allow use to get benefits out of our grave.

To win we can use The Eternity Elevator (which can be powered by our opponents creatures) to make a giant tempt with vengeance or Song of Totentanz. These creatures come with haste, so we can sac them to our outlets and draw tons of cards with Shadow. You can sac them while Venerated Stormsinger is out to ping off your opponents

Kiki-Jiki can also go infinite with many things (who knew?). Coercive Recruiter and Zealous Conscripts are the main targets not only because you can steal all your opponents stuff, but also because it makes infinitely hastey dudes. Kiki in the grave? No worries - Necrotic Ooze will go infinite with him while he's there too.

Need to outvalue your opponents? Kiki will do that too - we can copy Gary and Underworld Hermit for great value over and over. If you add Soldevi Adnate and Chainer into the picture, you can loop it many times to have yopur opponents lose 10-15 life a turn.

Shadow is the hedgehog to be most afraid of. Not just because he is evil, but also because he wants your Latinas.
