Rakdos, Lord of Riots has such great synergy with Eldrazi! This obviously isn't the best deck for this type of synergy, but it works fairly well in my playgroup. This deck utilizes Rakdos' ability to lower the colorless costs of creatures based on damage your opponents have taken, and what better way to rack up a lot of damage than in a multiplayer format? Cards like Neheb, the Eternal give even more ramp to get out large colorless creatures quickly, while Havoc Festival, Sheoldred, Whispering One, and Mogis, God of Slaughter punish your opponents on each of their upkeeps. Cards like Erebos, God of the Dead and Sulfuric Vortex stop your opponents from gaining any of that life back, as well. Torpor Orb works great in this deck because Eldrazi more often have cast triggers as opposed to ETB triggers. One major flaw of this deck is that a game of EDH quickly becomes Archenemy if enough players get fed up with the constant damage this deck can throw at the entire table. Be ready with board wipes like Nevinyrral's Disk and Damnation if your opponents start teaming up against you. While this deck offers very little graveyard recursion currently, Dread Defiler can make good use of anything that might have been milled or otherwise sent to your graveyard to further damage your opponents. Speaking of which, this deck has several creatures with indestructible (Ulamog, the Ceaseless Hunger and Colossus of Akros to name just a couple) to survive both your own and your opponents' board wipes, although there is still a glaring weakness to spot removal. Another weakness of this deck are cards like Flame Rift that include you in the damage, but Platinum Angel will help you to survive your own chaos, at least for a little while. I have a lot of fun playing with this deck, and I hope this list is helpful! Any suggestions or feedback would be of great help!
