General/Commander: Rakdos, Lord of Riots

* Tutors (tutoring effects, except land fetching) were banned in my current meta, which explains the lack of them.

* My meta mostly consists of aggro/token swarm players.

Deck discussion for The Day of Suffering

Keep in mind, if you deal enough damage/take life with Rakdos out, artifact creatures are free. Fun to abuse. This looks pretty sick, though.

Good point. You could swap "Stromgald Cabal" (which is conditional; if you have plenty of white removal/board wipes in your meta, like mine) to a "Darksteel Colossus" / "Blightsteel Colossus" or even to the Eldrazi titans. :)

Also cards you could swap:
* Everlasting Torment; meant to be an answer for the "Akroma's Memorial" and different protection effects.
* Apocalypse; Basically just a "panic button" for certain situations, like if some1 brings "Avacyn, Angel of Hope " to the table ... However, Apocalypse is a funny win-con when you have "Lightning Crafter" or similar ("Oubliette" / "Faceless Butcher" / "o-ring" targeting your own creature) on the battlefield. ^^

how is Everlasting Torment an answer for Akroma's Memorial? its a R/B effect, and Memorial gives protection from R/B...

@ NinjaStyle612: "Akroma's Memorial" gives your creatures protection from B/R, but "Everlasting Torment" partly negates that protection with the "Damage cannot be prevented" clause ... so protection against B/R does nothing damage wise. However, yes, you still cannot block them or target those creatures with B/R spells & abilities ... but using global spells & abilities like "Pyrohemia" / "Pestilence" (or creatures like "Plague Spitter") works just fine and this deck is based on dealing dmg, targeted and global, which would be otherwise hosed by protection. Also there's another similar card that bypasses the dmg protection; "Ghostly Flame".

Rules: "5/1/2008 The "damage can't be prevented" statement overrides all forms of preventing damage, including protection abilities. Damage prevention spells and abilities can still be cast and played; they just don't do anything."
