Description

{"ops":[{"insert":"Group by Categories (Multiple).\n\nCreature combat deck. Wins by landing evasive threats plus damage multipliers. Or "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Rise of the Dark Realms"}},{"insert":".\n\nObviously the legendary eldrazi are good and powerful, but I am not putting them in this deck.\n\nIn my opinion, when building a Lord of Riots deck, a pilot should always be thinking how the deck plays with and without the big guy in play. The chance should always be there to allow for big cheating, so my creatures still have very few pips wherever possible.\n\nI don't play a lot of ramp because ideally the curve caps out after you cast commander, but also the life loss requirement leads to an interesting problem: \n\nSuppose you want to cast commander turn 3 with ramp like most 4 mana commanders. The issue is that then your curve in T2 ramp, T3 commander, which means you NEED T1 pinger. But to have that consistently means putting quite a few 1 mana pingers that don't do much AFTER you cast your commander. \nSo I've decided to be more flexible with modal cards that are good before and after casting Rakdos, at the cost of 1 turn of speed. \nExamples:\n "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Nullpriest of Oblivion"}},{"insert":" can be 2 mana menace creature or "},{"attributes":{"strike":true},"insert":"6 mana"},{"insert":" 2 mana recursion creature.\n "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Ob Nixilis, the Adversary"}},{"insert":" either gets me a little devil guaranteed to ping for 1 next turn, or later become a second "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Disciple of Bolas"}},{"insert":" effect to keep gas up.\n "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Shivan Devastator"}},{"insert":" and "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Phyrexian Fleshgorger"}},{"insert":" are more obviously modal. \n "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Florian, Voldaren Scion"}},{"insert":", and "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Starscream, Power Hungry // Starscream, Seeker Leader"}},{"insert":" are creatures that will probably get damage off that also have a powerful effect regardless. \nAt worst "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Orcus, Prince of Undeath"}},{"insert":", "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Bloodletter of Aclazotz"}},{"insert":", and many other cards will let you get a turn 5 commander down + a reduced creature most likely.\n\nA lot of interaction. Keeping the board in check long enough and you WILL draw into a winning hand.\nIf you've already cast Rakdos twice, letting him stay in the graveyard is usually more worth it than having to cast him for 8. Enough reanimation effects in this deck.\n\n"},{"insert":{"card-link":"Fiery Emancipation"}},{"insert":" or "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Gratuitous Violence"}},{"insert":" ? idk like i don't have noncreature damage really which is normally what puts Fiery over the top. Honestly in games where i've played it, it is often the case that I was able to get a kill or win I otherwise wouldn't have been able to. Notably, killing a zurgo player in a 1v1 topdeck situation\n\n\n"}]}
