This deck is for group play ONLY - you will get completely creamed in a duel as it is too slow.

Total experiment! Started out as a Jund EDH deck and turned into THIS. Rakdos will make all your creatures cheap. Defilier will make your opponents sacrifice their monocolored creatures (every creature here is 2-3 colors in case you didn't notice), and since it's not Legendary you can have 2 or all 3 out at once! Along the way (cuz let's face it, the deck is slow!) hopefully I'll have enough copies of Duress and Slaughter Games to get rid of their removal (or something heinous). Gruul War Chant makes even your non-dragons grow steadily, and 4 copies of Artisan's Sorrow will help with pesky Enchantments of theirs as well as giving you the Scry option, and 4 copies of Read the Bones to control what's next and draw 2. This deck ONLY works in group play - WAY too slow for a dual, but pretty fun once it gets going (not that anyone enjoys a Slaughter Games coming their way, so enemies will be made). Though things do go a LOT faster if you can get an Amulet of Vigor out early - those double-lands can be used, and you can load the mana pool with the one you're gonna pull back to your hand, so now you have 3 mana to work with. Once you can get some of the guys out, with any luck, you can get a Bow of Nylea out and play Roar of Challenge and get rid of all of someone's creatures and plow the road.
