"In yonder halls reclining Are forms surpassing fair, And brilliant lights are shining, But, oh! the dead are there!

There’s music, song and dance, There’s banishment of care, And mirth in every glance, But, oh! the dead are there!

The wine cup’s sparkling glow Blends with the viands rare, There’s revelry and show, But still, the dead are there!

‘Neath that flow of song and mirth Runs the current of despair, But the simple sons of earth Know not the dead are there!

They’ll shudder start and tremble, They’ll weep in wild despair When the solemn truth breaks on them,

That the dead. the dead are there!"

-The Revel (Frances Ellen Watkins Harper) https://magic.wizards.com/en/articles/archive/feature/legends-adventures-forgotten-realms-2021-07-16

Create a firestorm of tempo til all Hell breaks loose! Get to those Quality Jank pieces (edit Uba Mask is a non-bo with these & others, so its cut) & Speedy Spellsling escalate til Revel in Riches, Hellkite Tyrant or Aetherflux Reservoir (Magus of the Will / Underworld Breach to overflow when high on Treasures)

First Rakdos Deck in years... never thought it would become my favorite Guild deck! 8D

Combos & Synergy

Possibility Storm + Knowledge Pool = Cast 1 get 2 Spells back, Double Treasure Triggers & disrupt opponents. (You already have Exile options that won't trigger these)

Aetherflux Reservoir + Fevered Suspicion / Etali, Primal Storm = "Phat Lifegain", by the Rakdos Quarter-thieves.

Phyrexian Reclamation + Dockside Extortionist + Hidetsugu, Devouring Chaos (or other multi-Sacrifice) create all the Treasures for Storm potential.

Birgi, God of Storytelling   & Goldspan Dragon also set it off with either a Red/Treasure discount effect, or on the flip, leftover Lands becoming extra spells.

Imperial Recruiter grabbing Valki, God of Lies   or Academy Manufactor or Dream Devourer are just too good + set up chain effects.

Olivia Voldaren & Grim Hireling make terrific Treasure dumps + political persuasion ;)

Speaking of Payoffs, Xorn makes payments to Mayhem Devil, Ruthless Knave and others, a whole lot easier.

Enjoy the spoils of your Revelry! https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Sv4Gui9hKCM
