Deck Description

This is the deck I'm currently playing with and is the current iteration for this build.
Special thanks to everyone who commented and helped me create this deck and to Luis Navas for setting the standard for Rakdos Aggro in RtR-Theros tournaments.
Shout-out to my friends Darren, Tom, Scotty and Jonah for play-testing the crap out of this deck with me against their amazing Pro-tour ready decks as well as some really insane and broken Vintage/Legacy format decks they own.

How to Play

Creatures:
Play your creatures and Unleash Rakdos Cackler whenever you play him.
Spike Jester and Rakdos Shred-freak have haste and Mogis's Marauder using Devotion can give itself and other creatures haste and Intimidate for a sweet combat trick that can end games.
Always unleash Exava. She also gives a late Cackler haste and Exava herself unleashed is a pretty sick 4/4 with haste and first-strike.
Late game(AKA turn 4), you can counter field nukes and chumpblocking by playing Xathrid Necromancers and turning all those dead Exavas, Marauders, Heroes, Shred-freaks and Necromancers into sweet 2/2 zombie tokens.

Enchantment/Creature:
Madcap Skills is the most aggressive enchantment in RtR giving a creature +3/+0 and Evasion. If an opponent cant answer this threat they will lose from this alone.
Spiteful Returned can be a nice 2mana creature with pseudo-trample due to the 2damage and can be a sweet trick if enchanted to a creature. Even if the enchanted creature gets removed, Spiteful Returned just turns into another threat.
Comboing any of these enchantments on Tormented Hero lets you lifegain and can cherrytap your opponent to death. Nothing like winning a game by draining that last lifepoint.

Instances:
Your Instances can be used to removed or to fireball your opponent in the face ftw.
A neat trick you can do is to Ultimate Price your own Tormented Hero if you need to score that last bit of damage in.
