Deck Description

A pretty basic deck that runs rakdoa aggro. Hoping it would be competitive. Made this for. A friend. Since he decided to stick with his normal build I decided to modify it into a standard deck. In the new standard rakdos colors are my new weapon of choice. With the addition of doom blade to the format and all the control decks that are stepping up I'm beginning to see use for cards like slaughter games and thought seize.

Another reason I like rakdos colors is the abundance of removal cards that have become such an important part of the new standard. Before Theros is played human naya blitz which was much faster than this but I have found that the whole format has gotten slower with the loss of innistrad.

Opinions would be awesome.

How to Play

Just keep swinging in round one until someone loses. Round two adjust the deck to fit the opponent. The slaughter games and thought seize help take control apart. Dread bore for planeswalkers. Dark betrayal in for doom blade for obvious reasons. Rakdos charm is pretty good against decks that swarm faster than you or against something like green white where the numbers they have get high. It can bring them down If you diligently keep life sources like trostani off board.

Not a bad choice. However I need the can't gain life part to keep big green and decks using sphinks revelation from gaining life which is this decks worst nightmare

Nope.....
None at all

Say, I'd swap Shred-Freaks for Spike Jesters. Also, Doom Blade is now almost redundant because of Hero's Downfall

Erebos prevents life gain. That's a creature (sometimes)
