Description
{"ops":[{"attributes":{"bold":true},"insert":"RAKDOS, LORD OF RIOTS"},{"attributes":{"header":1},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"\nRakdos demands a blood tribute. An opponent must have lost life this turn before we can even summon our commander — and that restriction shapes every decision we make in the early game. We run a dense suite of low-cost pingers and symmetrical burn effects whose only job is to nick every opponent for a point or two of damage. That's the offering. Once Rakdos hits the battlefield, every point of life our opponents have lost this turn becomes a colorless mana discount on our creature spells. A few points of pain spread across the table and suddenly we're slamming Eldrazi titans, artifact monstrosities, and massive Demons for little to no mana. The game plan is ritualistic and devastating: bleed the table early, summon Rakdos, and then unleash an obscene amount of power onto the board in a single turn. We're running a deep Demon package that often costs just two black mana because Rakdos has already devoured the colorless portion of the bill. The deck doesn't ramp the traditional way — our commander "},{"attributes":{"italic":true},"insert":"is"},{"insert":" the ramp. We just need to make sure everyone at the table has paid their share in blood first.\n\n"},{"attributes":{"bold":true},"insert":"Power Level:"},{"insert":" On paper this is a bracket 2 deck — we run zero game changers. But the archetype is strong, the card quality is high, and the synergy hits harder than the bracket suggests. We consider this a bracket 3 deck without game changers. Comfortable at focused tables, capable of threatening optimized pods, but not built for cEDH. Expect games where we're quietly the most dangerous player at the table before anyone realizes it.\n\n"},{"attributes":{"bold":true},"insert":"Bracket 3 Upgrades:"},{"insert":" Bracket 3 allows up to three game changer cards. If your pod is comfortable with that, here are the swaps we'd recommend:\nSwap [CARD] for [CARD]: [REASON]"},{"attributes":{"list":"bullet"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"Swap [CARD] for [CARD]: [REASON]"},{"attributes":{"list":"bullet"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"Swap [CARD] for [CARD]: [REASON]"},{"attributes":{"list":"bullet"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"\nGETTING RAKDOS ONLINE"},{"attributes":{"header":2},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"\nAn opponent must have lost life the turn we intend to cast our commander. That means our early game is entirely built around guaranteeing that condition is met by turn three or four. We run a critical mass of cheap, repeatable damage sources so that the tribute is never in question.\n\n[[Scrawling Crawler]], [[Keen Duelist]], [[Plague Spitter]] and [[Creeping Bloodsucker]] all chip in for damage on upkeep which allows us to spend the mana a turn earlier and setup for the turn we cast Rakdos. [[Spear Spewer]] and [[Thermo-Alchemist]] tap to deal damage to our opponents. [[Boltwave]] and [[Flame Rift]] deal tons of damage allowing us to cast Rakdos AND follow up with an Eldrazi in the same turn. Even some of our card draw spells can help us get in for damage. [[Crushing Disappointment]] reads: You draw two cards and creatures cost 6 lest to cast this turn.\n\nREMOVAL"},{"attributes":{"header":2},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"\nWe are in Rakdos colors so our removal options are a bit more limited but we make up for that with creatures like [[Ulamog, the Ceaseless Hunger]] which can target any permanent type for 0 mana if Rakdos is online. A lot of our removal is indeed packaged inside our rakdos-scam creatures so the deck plays a bit more front footed. We will need to blow up the best things on the board at the time we have an opportunity to cheat out one of our big creatures but our flash-speed lands help with this by allowing us to sneak in that [[Cityscape Leveler]] post damage on opponents turn. \n\nAs far as traditional removal we are playing [[Toxic Deluge]] to wipe the board, [[Withering Torment]] to answer enchantments and [[Abrade]] to answer artifacts. In total we have 12 answers to creatures, 6 planeswalkers, 6 artifacts, 5 enchantments, 3 lands and 2 graveyards. \n"}]}
