Deck Description

So, everyone who knows me, knows that I am a white deck player. Very rarely do I venture away from that color. However! Have you tried making a white deck edh? Its boring! So very boring! Here is a deck that takes some skill to play!

So here it is, Rakdos Reanimator EDH!

How to Play

This deck is all about the graveyard. Put things there, get stuff back, what ever you need. Most your graveyard return will put stuff back into your hand, so all the discard spells wont hurt! Same with those sacrifice spells! Get some death effects out, and you are golden!

What is better than sacrificing an eldrazi spawn when blood artist is on the field? Holla at a play'a I am just saying, that card is a bahahahaws!

Or what about Sacrificing something with undying? A simple combo to buff stuff up, you can thank Mikaeus for that one!

Now lets get to those curse's! Curse of misfortune for the win? Combo off with bitterheart witch for an easy lead? Oh wait! Why don't we sacrifice that bitterheart for some more effects? I am just saying, getting those curses' for free helps a lot!

Now would you look at all that draw? Or should I say! Cycling? You should be drawing a few times each turn!

Then we have some end of turn mana ramp, pw's, and a bunch of special lands!

Everyone should run spring jack pasture!

Look it over some, then post!

Deck discussion for Death, Reanimated EDH

I don't usually play edh, in fact, while making this deck, I had to look up the rules to double check I am doing it right!

Then I figured, with only one of everything and 100 cards, Draw would be nice.

Then I figured, well, most red draw discards, and being able to reuse spells would always be good, so it became apparent graveyard play would be essential.

I always liked how easy it is to search up curses, so I went with that.

Then, Rakdos, lord of Riots, was one of the best looking legendary cards in standard! Initially I was going to go for totally burn huge creature spam, yet that idea didn't seem practical in practice.

Overall, it came along, and here is the end result.

H'ok.
This deck needs work to be a competitive EDH Deck. Even if you're on a budget, you can greatly improve it.

What is it you're trying to do? Your general says one thing, but your deck says another. If you want to do graveyard manipulation, you need to really seriously do 'GRAVEYARD MANIPULATION' or you'll get hosed by any single competitive EDH deck. Everything from Living Death to the typical reanimation suite to Withered Wretch, all are really needed to take full advantage of your graveyard. If you want to use your graveyard, use it. Bringing things back in to your hand won't do you much good in this format. In general, everything you have that can bring a card back in to your hand, can be replaced by a card that puts it directly in to play.

If you want to take advantage of your general, you need cards with a higher mana cost, and more colorless mana required. Seriously consider some artifact creatures, and some more ways to damage your opponents each turn. See Pyrohemia, pestilence, or Sulpheric Vortex for things that do this efficiently. This will allow you to take full advantage of your general's ability. Change your creatures out for anything with a low colored mana cost, and a very high colorless mana cost. If you can reduce your mana cost, you can play more creatures.

You also really aren't taking full advantage of the card draw that is available to you. You have a ton of tutors in B and Gamble in R that will greatly improve your ability to get the cards you need.
EDH is a different format than standard. You need to gear your deck to perform in it. You have MANY cards available that you aren't using, so many that I have trouble listing them here.

What I'm trying to say is:
rethink your deck. You're missing a ton of black or red staples for the format, and you're missing some/all of the land staples and artifact staples. If you want this deck to be competitive, it really needs work. You've got many, many more cards available to you than you're using, and many of them are cheap, but you need to think about each and every card you select for your deck.
