Deck Description

[u]Basic Idea[/u]
The decks of the Advanced series are intended for players that already have mastered the basic rules, and are fit for some more powerful and complex decks.
With this deck I wanted to create a Rakdos deck that revolved around Unleash as main combat ability's as well as some direct damage spells , some removal and combat tricks where the things that I wanted to use.

[u]Cardpool and Budget[/u]
I decided to stay modern legal, with a budget of 45-55$ (Estimated mid value)

[u]Upgradeability/ Room for improvements[/u]
This deck is bound to a special keyword, named "Unleash", where you can decide to play a creature normally or get stronger one that is unable to block.
A deck that is only constructed around a certain keyword is very hard to keep up to date and to improve on. New editions will rarely contain cards with the keyword, but you can try to look for cards that improve the general strategy or support side of the deck.

[u]Tests[/u]
At the moment this deck exists only on this site and has never been played against another deck.

I'm open to all suggestions and ideas that may help to improve this deck.

How to Play

This deck is a little harder to play for a beginner as all it's creatures establish one question: +1/+1 counter and offensive only use or no counter and also possible defensive use? Normally it will be a good mixture between those and finding this mixture is the key to learn how this deck works.
Thrill-Kill Assassin provides you with a solid 1/2 with deathtouch that will make your opponent think twice about attacking. Rakdos Cackler and Gore-House Chainwalker are more offensive creatures meant to put pressure on your opponent.
Hellhole Flailer and Bloodfray Giant help you to make those last damage needed to defeat your opponent while Exava, Rakdos Blood Witch provides haste to all your creatures (with ยด+1/+1 counters) to make sure they come on the field and can attack at once.
On the support side Doom Blade is a hard removal that can kill pretty much anything while Shock can be used against small creatures or to also deal the last points of damage needed to win.
Bonesplitter provides one of your creatures with a permanent damage boost while Brute Force and Fists of the Anvil have a cheaper but one-time use.
