Rakdos deck idea

by alejoaa12 on 06 October 2012

Main Deck (60 cards)

Sideboard (0 cards)

No sideboard found.

The owner of this deck hasn't added a sideboard, they probably should...

Submit a list of cards below to bulk import them all into your sideboard. Post one card per line using a format like "4x Birds of Paradise" or "1 Blaze", you can even enter just the card name by itself like "Wrath of God" for single cards.

Deck discussion for Rakdos deck idea

Unfortunately, this seems to be too much in the mid to late game... by which time golgari will have won, and selesyna will be out of control. Hellrider is a good choice, but demon is inconsistent, and rakdos' ability doesnt help you much. Carnival hellsteed is really cool, but its also too slow. I suggest more things like shred-freak, and ash zealot. The early damage is how rakdos is going to be a threat. Vampire nighthawk would make a good addition too. Id probably drop spawn for hellhole flailer, hes faster. and as for instants/sorceries. . . drop killing wave, mizzium is your boardwipe. I dont think fling really helps, except in the case of hellsteed or demon (which you should take out). You REALLY need a playset of dreadbores in here too... and finally, a few pillar of flames or searing spears could help you with that extra damage for the win.

Take a look at the aggro rakdos deck ive been working on, it has a pretty good win rate against other guild-based standard decks:

I played desecration demon on friday and it just wasn't great because of tokens.They just tapped it every time.If ya want to keep them i would recomend sideboarding them and use them when your not playing a token style deck,Then they will play better.
It really sucked to watch them tap him and him get bigger only to tap him again and make their battlefield stronger and stronger until they were in a position that i couldnt deal with.Raginggoblin is right you need to have early game aggressive creatures because the other guilds will punish you badly for a long game as rakdos.
