Deck Description

This deck is built as a very fast deck. Output as many creatures as you can in the shortest time possible and bully your enemy down below 1 HP. A few removal cards are in there to stop beefy enemies, Auger Spree is used to rid of pesky indestructible creatures.
Some useful situational cards are sideboarded in case your enemies utilizes certain things your normal deck can't handle.

How to Play

Main Deck:
The creatures of the deck is very simple in the main deck. Haste, Unleash and First Strike creatures who generally allow you to attack in turn 2 unless you draw a bad hand, otherwise, you still get the chance to beat them down on turn 3-4 where most players usually are still ramping up their mana.

The reason behind Weapon Surge is mainly for certain cards you don't wan to lose too early (Spike Jester is usually mostly useful early, but it can be a vital card to have alive later. Hellriders/Cacklers can be tough to keep alive, Weapon Surge usually does the trick.)

Dreadbore and Auger Spree is all the removal the deck needs. Auger Spree rids of almost any card in the time your game will last with this fast of a deck, and if it lasts longer, Dreadbore finishes off almost every creature, and it even cleans up Planeswalkers for 2 mana. Very vital in almost every game.


Sideboard:
The sideboard holds a few fun things. Legion Loyalist is a very great card, mostly due to the first strike for half of the creatures that doesn't have it already, but also due to the trample. A lot of the creatures in this deck have a high power, low toughness ratio, and if you have first strike and trample, nothing more is required.

Thundermaw Hellkite is a very situational card, but it can be an aboslute lifesaver. 1 damage is enough to finish off certain flying, and it taps those annoying bastards at the same time. This usually allows for you to strike with a huge force - plus the 5/5 flying for 5 mana is a good bear for flying, and useful for attacking if you need to.

Master of Cruelties is a card that's hard to fit into a deck, since most players will often be able to stop it simply with a 1/1 token. However, Master of Cruelties is a great defender, a creature you might need against certain powerful foes who goes full-out power. The first strike deathtouch almost always finishes off the enemy. A great way to utilize him in the deck however, is if you take the sideboarded Madcap Skills along with him. Having the enemy need to sacrifice two creatures in order to stop you is a great way to open up for more attack, plus, if they only have one creature it's a free attack that almost guarantees win. Use Rakdos's Return, Skullcrack or Pillar of Flame with this combination to make it for an easy win.

Deck discussion for Rakdos' Ravaging Rampage

Just a thought. If you add Ghor Clan Rampagers, and only splash green for that card, you can potentially deal 8 damage turn 2 if they leave your vexing up. Just a thought. I run Rakdos haste as well but i run completely different. Might wanna check it out
