"The Rack"-dos

by slothosaurus on 26 February 2019

Main Deck (22 cards)

Sideboard (0 cards)

No sideboard found.

The owner of this deck hasn't added a sideboard, they probably should...

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.


Deck Description

Just a list of cards that might be useful in a rakdos 8-rack deck.

Kind of a few lanes of thought here... Mostly you want to stop their initial advance, then 2 for 1 them with strong cards like wrench mind.

Eventually, you want to get to a top-decking situation, but you need to make sure you can win this.

You can play cards like small pox to destroy lands, or blood moon for example, so they just can't cast anything, or you can cast things like ensnaring bridge to stop any kind of attacks at all. Alternatively, you can play instant speed discard at the end of their draw step with cards like k-command, mindlash sliver, and funeral charm.

Then, one of your 8-racks eventually gets played and breaks the stale-mate.

It's not totally obvious which is the way to go here tbh. I mean,

Thoughts?

Deck discussion for "The Rack"-dos

i would add kolaghan's command to the list, as you can do it right after your opponent draws for turn.

Yup.

Early game - use inquisition and thought seize to take out their immediate threats.

Mid game - start playing the two for ones like liliana, wrench mind, blightning, and whispers of emrakul.

Late game - prevent them from casting anything they top deck. You can do this by busting their mana sources with cards like blood moon or small pox, with instant speed discard using funeral charm, mindlash sliver, and kolaghan's command, or with ensnaring bridge.

At some point in there, you'll have played a shrieking affliction or a rack, and your enemy will die eventually.
