Deck Description

Modern Rakdos aggro, built to be as low on the curve as possible.

Update: Played this deck at a modern tournament against tron, eldrazi tron, burn, and GW cat aggro.

Tron - 2/0
Eldrazi Tron - 2/1
Burn - 0/2
GW Cats - 1/2

Since my keldon marauders hadn't arrived yet, I played spike jesters in their place. The spike jesters performed quite well, so I have decided to leave a few in. Otherworldly outburst was great against the cat deck, often letting me kill a blocker and get value from it. I would encourage playing them if your meta is filled with midrange and blockers.
Bomat couriers provided lots of card advantage, but weren't really dealing enough damage for my tastes. Replacing them with furnace scamps for testing purposes.
Claim to fame seemed weak, but with furnace scamps and keldon marauders in the deck I believe that should no longer be an issue.
Rakdos cackler, bloodsoaked champion, and scrapheap scrounger were all amazing, and the latter two even let me win against chalices of the void on both 1 and 2 against eldrazi tron.
I'm not sure inquisition of kozilek maindeck is where this deck wants to be, but that will require further testing.

Updating the deck with my current list.

How to Play

Play cheap creatures and attack with them.

Deck discussion for Modern Rakdos Aggro

Can I interest you in a foil Inquisition? Eh? Anyways, why isn't Furnace Scamp in mainboard? I thought that was going to be one of the most important aspects of the deck.

Yeah, the thing is scamps are really great when they work but it seems like they might be a bit too fragile against creatures to block. There are lots of creature decks at Anime Imports.

Putting the furnace scamps in the main to test, as the bomat couriers didn't seem quite aggressive enough.
