Deck Description

A new rakdos commander that is actually interesting to build around?
You had me already at the first part!

This is a Budget Elder Dragon Highlander deck (BEDH for short). It is meant for the Elder Dragon Highlander format, a.k.a. Commander. If you are not familiar with the format, I'll link it below for you.

How to Play

Kethek consumes your creatures to spew out something... not quite similar.
Try to cast your big dudes for lesser costs to get the best effects!

So yea, cost reduction theme deck, very much within budget limits. In addition to these reductions, this deck runs quite a few creatures with annoying additional costs strapped on them - you can cleverly circumvent these by dropping them in with Kethek's ability! Imagine dropping early Marshmist Titan with cost reduction, then "transforming" it into a Goremand, for example.

In addition to creature transformation, this deck specializes in cycling its cards with fast pace. With a lot of ways to both discard and reanimate creatures, reanimation easily becomes one of this deck's secondary themes. Good thing reanimation synergizes quite well with Kethek's ability!

Pros:
