The rakdos variant for the 8rack deck. Great for everyone who doesn't want to keep friends.
Lavaclaw is my replacement for mutavaults. I do realize that tapped lands make this deck unbearably slow, but in my current meta I can scrape by. It also has the potential for bigger damage.The whole point of this list is to speed up the rack damage, so Blightning instead of Wrench Mind was an easy choice. In my meta we see a lot of artifacts anyway, so on match two and three Command is a natural sideboard in this spot.Dakmor and Crime is a staple, but it feels kinda bad... unnessassary sometimes. Might change it out.Urborg and Funeral charm to swampwalk lavaclaw or nyxathid. Not to mention instant speed to lock out hands on draw step.Artifact hate on Rack? Switch out for Nyxathid and Waste not.Rix makes a really great mana dump late game.

I'm curious. Has 8 Rack ever tried Whispers of Emrakul in Wrench Mind's slot? With fetch lands, Smallpox and Liliana / Necrogen Mists, getting Delirium shouldn't be too difficult. Raven's Crime feels like it must remain as once you've locked in, the Crime turns all lands drawn into addition discard keeping the opponent's hand low / empty. The interactions with Dakmor Salvage is cute, but I feel it's unnecessary in here. I've never seen Dismember have a better home than in 8 Rack. Getting the lock is easy, but you can't afford high mana removal. Quite often that 4 life is well worth it to get rid of the thing beating you down for far more (over time). I'm surprised to not see Thoughtseize, or at least Inquisition of Kozilek. Thoughtseize I can understand is expensive, but Inquisition of Kozilek is not. In theory, with all the discard effects, the opponent shouldn't reach much higher than 3 mana on board, so picking out the low cost cards will actually help protect you.

Ive ran dismembers in this deck list and I agree that its a hella badass removal... but does it kill planeswalkers? Inquisition has crossed my mind a lot honestly. Blackmail sits in that slot and it's a toss up for which works better. Now... Whispers... that's a new one and yeah, gonna have to try that. Sounds super legit.
Random idea. Don't know if it's worth the effort to set up:Pyromancer Ascension doubles up all your Instants and Sorceries. Once active, this also works nicely with Raven's Crime, {B} and discarding a land to make the opponent discard 2 cards sounds like value to me. Just remember that Retracing the only Raven's Crime in the graveyard won't put a counter on Pyromancer Ascension. Depending on how often you get yourself Hellbent, Keldon Megaliths could help get a few extra points of damage in.
Duuuuude. I like this idea way better than Rack of the Loam. I'm going to have to look into this.
With Browbeat I wont hit hellbent but without it... it was a race of top decking. Idk about that but its worth testing.
What should I take out for pyromancers? Necrogen? Idk...
Whispers wasn't as reliable or as fast damage as blightning.
I can see Whispers being less reliable in a Rakdos build, but might still be worth testing in a mono black build?Can't really say what to remove for Pyromancer Ascension. Maybe a singleton of each Necrogen Mists; Funeral Charm; and a 3rd different card for 3 Ascension?
I bet it would be great in monoblack, honestly. I'll have to shuffle stuff around and figure out where to put Pyromancers. I'm stoked to try this out.
pyromancers didnt work out.
Oh well, it was worth it to at least try. You live and learn
Yes, indeed. It was ALL of the overkill. Made a lot of the discard just sit in my hand half the time.
ha ha, I like it!
Phyresis why do you have 61 cards?
And not 60?
I've always went one more. I know it slightly messes with the curve... But let's call it a nervous twitch.
