What should i use for my imp tribalmmander?

Blim, Comedic Genius-is an imp so synergy is there. has an okay effect but i feel that it's a build around effect and won't help the tribal much but it also has flavor

or

Rakdos, the Showstopper- is a demon so no synergy with the tribe but his effect is much more helpful than Blim's to the tribe as a whole but feels less flavorful at the same time.

Now flavor is nice but not over important just stating my thoughts

Any ideas to make this more Tricky and mean spirited pranks are welcome

Also should I add devils as well as both devils and imps? As both are pranksters that cause harm.

Personally, I'd go with Rakdos because a one-sided board wipe is never bad

Also Cruel Entertainment seems fitting for the theme

Personally Rakdos feels much better, plus the sweeper feels perfect for the deck!

smelltank yes just yes Cruel Entertainment is exactly what im looking for its fun its mean and has politics, that all im looking for this may end up as my featured card it just so perfect.

Rakdos is probably better, but I really want to see a Blim deck, it sounds fun!

Blim is buildaround, while Rakdos' ability means he is a fairly good Imp tribal card anyways. A one sided wrath for 6 in the command zone is pretty decent in non-cEDH metas AFAIK, so he's basically your balancing factor.

I'd go Rakdos personally.

VampDemigod Indeed Blim does sound fun but he's also pretty much just the Rakdos version of Zedruu the Greathearted so bad gifts decks are most likely the main way he'll be built
