I'm building Lyzolda, the Blood Witch. Instead of playing to win though, I want to play to make my opponents lose. Utilizing cards such as Havoc Festival and Descent into Madness. Please recommend crazy artifacts and chaos cards in Rakdos please. They don't have to be good...they just have to be fun...pretty much exclusively for me. ;p

Demonic Pact and Harmless Offering. It's not very chaotic, but it does make the opponent lose.

I like the Harmless Offering. :p However the Pact would probably just kill me because counter magic is fairly prevalent in my meta. Thanks for the suggestions!

It's a little expensive if you are paying face value for it instead of cheating it in like I do, but Possessed Portal sounds like something you would like. You can break parity with just Ophiomancer or both Myr Turbine and Unwinding Clock if you want to make it a hard lock; or you can just be irritating for a few rounds until you are forced to sacrifice it.

Descent into Madness & Endrek Sahr, Master Breeder or any other token driver, eg.Ghoulcaller Gisa

Could be a bit stax-y for your fun requirement but it's not exactly easy to pull off and Descent is super flavourful.

The concept of the deck sounds great, I'm tempted to make a deck with the same concept, or just "netdeck" the one you make. Havoc Festival looks good, and it plays along with the idea of not winning, but making your opponent lose because they cannot gain life . But enchantments can get destroyed easily due to things like Naturalize , Dawn to Dusk , Demystify , Decimate , etc. So just so that you have something to also prevent lifegain I would add Erebos, God of the Dead , That is if you're not on a budget. Descent into Madness is also a good card for the concept . I don't really know what cards you're going to use in the deck so it's kind of hard to determine what cards to suggest. I would add Exquisite Blood and Sanguine Bond to lower your opponents health and gain some yourself, but if you're going to add those then you should probably add some lifegain stuff to this deck, such as Disciple of Bolas , Blood Artist , Sorin's Vengeance , Chalice of Life  Flip , painful quandry , etc. I also don't know if you're going to be playing casual or competitive, but i'll assume competitive. I'd also add Kaervek the Merciless . Maybe you could throw in Whip of Erebos and a Exsanguinate . Those are all the suggestions I have right now, so uh good luck on making the deck. Again, the concept is really interesting to me so I hope this deck works out for you.

@Gidgetimer - Portal is excellent, thank you, whether or not i run self protection is debatable, haven't decided yet. Thanks!

@goodair - The first few suggestions are too powerful. This deck is going to be casual and super grindy, so I'm not looking to develop anything too efficient. I just want people to groan when I say this deck on the table. ; However, I do really like Wound Reflection...i realize this is counter productive with my previous statement, but it just seems so fun...ill have to tinker with it and see if it's too fast.: p Thanks!

@BS-T - Stax-y is fine, as long as it isn't too broken. I don't want to stop people doing things, I just want to make them regret doing it. :p I like Gisa here. Thanks!

@shirouu - Feel free to build this, but I have a lot of cards laying around, so it won't be very budget, also, it will virtually never win. It's going to be super grindy and frustrating so you will be the primary target at the table until you're dead. Haha. Life gain is counter productive to what I want, and I certainly don't want to go infinite. But thanks for the suggestions. Erebos will be fun, I have a few of him laying around in other decks, so not a problem. Whip could be good here as well as added value for Lyzolda. Fun note, if you give her deathtouch she kills whatever she hits because the card is phrased that she herself does the damage, so I'm gonna grab a few artifacts and enchantment for that too. :p

@seshiro_of_the_orochi - That is the creature with the Wound Reflection ability...I couldn't remember the name of that card and it was driving me insane. Thanks!
