The owner of this deck hasn't added a sideboard, they probably should...
Start typing a card name and use the auto-complete feature to quickly select the card you're trying to add. Enter a quantity and add that card to your sideboard!
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.
I have a spare Rakdos, Lord of Riots at home and want to build a deck based around him. My main problem is that I don't really know what to use with Rakdos to cast him! The whole "An opponent must lose life this turn to cast Rakdos, Lord of Riots" has screwed me over a LOT
Post a comment with your card choice below! I will look over the choice of card(s) and choose appropriate cards for the deck I would like to at least try to keep it a standard deck

If you are not keeping it standard then I would recommend "Blightning."You can also use any kind of "Pinger" like Vulshock Sorcerer that taps to do a damage to a player, there are several cards that do this.You can run burn of any sort: Lightning Bolt, Shock….whatever you want."Bump in the Night"Tons of options in Rakdos colors that will deal some damage to then get the demon out.Hope this helps! (Oh, didn't see your note about keeping it standard)

All I said was "LIKE to keep it standard" I will drop it as low as modern legal only, though. No vintage/legacy
Alright, let's see if I don't have to write a small story here. xDRakdos I feel would work in a suicide style deck. So full blown aggro. I think Unleash creatures will work good. Cacklers, Hellhole Flailers, and Exava herself could have fun here. Stick in removal, preferably the ones that deal damage so it can be shot at the player to cast Rakdos if needed. Some normal removal such as Doomblade and Ultimate price can be used in there. This deck could even have use of a Tymaret or two, to add some little tricks to combat and to find more ways to get damage in and even some drawing. A Chandra could find home, as she gives card advantage. Red battalion creatures can do some work in here and add more effectiveness in the combat.
Just ask and I can toss in an actual list of cards relatively quick.
I think that this would work in modern quite nicely I like the whole Chandra thing that TheBear mentioned and the Blightning from Zombie23 I now have a basis! The description and deck tags will now be updated Some of the typical Rakdos features will still be in here of course
Well, I've already made a Modern Rakdos, it's what I play currently as well, one of my first real constructed decks.http://www.mtgvault.com/thebear/decks/rakdos-modern/
I typically use burn then Rakdos. I find it easier to do it that way. So cards like Shock, Lightning Bolt, Magma Jet, etc. Doom Blades would also probably help. That and Dreadbore. I am, personally, not the biggest fan of Bomber Corps. I might use Firefist Striker or Legion Loyalist instead. Or Tormented Hero + Pump. Just a few suggestions!I heard you're a great control player and you like to help people build good control decks. Would you be able to look at my UW build? http://www.mtgvault.com/soltur/decks/bluewhite-azorius-control/
Control is not my specialty. My Dimir mill would have to be the closest thing I am more of an aggro player. And that includes infect But I will take a look and thanks for your suggestions. Also, Bomber Corps' Battaliion ability is great for Rakdos' casting, FYI
You could also run Tormented Hero. Then pump 'im. Just a thought.Could you look at http://www.mtgvault.com/soltur/decks/monogreen-devotion/ because I want to eventually go to tournament with that deck. Thankye.
