Deck Description

So about 1 or 2 weeks ago, I pulled a foil Blood Crypt, very nice! But It doesn't fit completely with the Bant deck I want to work on. I got bored and made this somewhat cheap Rakdos Aggro deck that works surprisingly well.

How to Play

Go aggro.

Obviously, keep a hand with a combo in mind, say, turn 1: Reckless Waif, next turn it transforms, turn 2: Spike Jester and then attack for 6.

If anything goes wrong (say, Supreme Verdict) That's why Krenko is in here because he can spam some goblins and attack / block depending on the situation.

In the Sideboard: Mind Rot is against Control players, Traitorous Instinct / Act of Treason are against big creatures that completely interfere with the aggro strategy (say, Boros Reckoner), Auger Spree for Indestructibles, Ultimate Price for replacement of Doom Blade incase the opponent is running Black, and Lava Axe for Planeswalkers that start at 4 loyalty.

Thank you! :)

Deck discussion for Rakdos Aggro $30

I see the point of having 4 Shred-Freaks, but I'd replace 2 of them for Spike Jesters. As they're much better!

You did read the "Under $30" right?
The cards that you have recommended can be pretty expensive

Well if I had more Spike Jesters, I would totally add them! Lightning Mauler isnt bad, but most of my creatures already have haste. Also, even if this wasn't $30, why would I spend money on cards that are going to phaze out in less than a month? Rakdos, lord of riots can be aviable and a little cheap, but the question is how easy can he get on the battlefield?

Not very. Trust me on that one. The only time that you DO get him out on the field is a next turn win. But the mana cost is WAY to specific and the life loss is just too hard to use him effectively
You're better off with Exava over Rakdos. AND she's cheaper, but you won't be able to use her 3rd ability

I has one, so don't you think that I would know about using a Rakdos, Lord of Riots?
And like you can talk, most of your decks are illegal e.g. 36 Boros Reckoner, 12 Slayer's Stronghold and 12 Sacred Foundary?

Fine, find me and bring your best deck and we'll see who is really better. Tournament style; full mulligain rules, shuffling each other's decks, 0 proxies and a referee overlooking it
You wouldn't even last 5 turns

Although, part of my difficulty with playing Rakdos himself, is that the highest CMC card in MY deck is 4 and there are 4 of them (2 Des Demon, 1 Exava, 1 Rakdos)
But overall, exava is a much better option

Well now playtesting Rakdos, Lord of Riots himself, I can't easily play him, so I'll stick with Exava the next time I make Rakdos. Thanks!
