Just wanted to share my first attempt at a Rakdos and non-creature heavy deck. I'm always looking for input, but it didn't feel right calling it a deck help thread because I'm pretty set on this list at the moment.

Wanted to make a Tor Wauki deck since he was spoiled back in 'aught 22. This is what I came up with. I tried to keep it budget and use what I had lying around. I also kind of a had a decent chunk of the list done before most of OTJ dropped, resulting in less crime pay offs than I wanted. The deck's main wincons are Howl of the Horde and maybe using Pestilent Spirit and Judith, Carnage Connoisseur to wipe opponents creatures with their death touch effects. Other win cons include Ojer Axonil related shenanigans combined with infect.

Combos/Synergy:

Goblin Sharpshooter + Basilisk Collar or Bladebrand to wipe whole boards.

Ojer Axonil + Pretty much anything under 4 power, including the 2 damage done by the commander

Any kind of Mass Deathtouch + Mass Damage

Future Upgrades:

Elemental Eruption - More new hotness and seems like a fun late game surprise, but the lack of targeting means it might not be an ideal fit for the deck.

More interactive lands. Crimes are not limited to spells, so having instant speed access to crimes without wasting a spell would be great. It's only targeting. Candidates include Flamekin Village , Hanweir Garrison
      , and Hall of Oracles . They would most likely replace Sulfurous Mire.

Phonenix Chick --> Bloodfeather Phoenix . I know the Phoenix Chick isn't ideal. But it's cute. It's got chutzpah and I want to do crimes with it.

Master of Cruelties - It's a no brainer, but I was pretty deep in the list when I remembered it existed.
