Lyzolda's Lambs (to the slaughter)

Commander / EDH* Aggro BR (Rakdos) Tokens

JasonD


Sideboard


Maybeboard


So I put this deck together last weekend in about an hour and a half, with just the cards I had on me and some things I traded with friends on the spot. We'd been playing EDH the night prior and they didn't like me playing with my control deck very much.

So I jammed this together, named Olivia Voldaren my commander and set up to play a slightly more aggro and less controlling game. It did not end well. Olivia had a huge target on her head, Stoneshaker Shaman annoyed the living daylights out of my friends and most hate still got directed at me.

So I've decided to make Lyzolda, the Blood Witch my new commander, and fill this deck up with some more token creators. The Maybeboard is full of cards I've been thinking of adding in or trading for, and hopefully I can get this Rakdos Tokens deck going bit by bit.

Tips and Ideas very much appreciated, as said this was a quick build so I'm sure I missed something!


possible swaps: Fervor out for Anger in.
Goblin Assault out for Grave Titan
Trench Wurm out for Bloodghast
Ultimate Price out for Terminate
Argentum Armor for Kusari-Gama
Stoneshaker Shaman for Urabrask the Hidden
Palladium Myr for Rakdos Carnarium
and Evolving Wilds out for Molten Slagheap

Still seeing if I want the Zeniths in there, and what to take out.

I'm thinking Bonfire of the Damned out for Black Sun's Zenith in. Bonfire only hits 1 target, and even tho it doesn't kill my own creeps, I still think Zenith might do more (plus, this would allow me to put Bonfire back in a standard deck)

Updates Add

I've made some changes to the deck that haven't been updated yet (and I currently don't have the list with me) but the Grave Betrayal made it in, as did Rakdos, Lord of Riots cause the Triskelion combo got moved to another deck (bye bye Skellie, I'll miss you!)

So I'm adding a bit more ping to support Rakdos, even tho he's the first big dude that will get the axe when I update this list again. Thinking of getting Death Pits of Rath to support my deathtouch equips when I don't actually draw those. Should have a kumaro, master yamabushi coming in the mail to add one to the pingers and make Necrotic Ooze better.

Also messed around a little with the mass-removal as I built another black deck and moved BSZ over to that one. I'll update this list as soon as I can. Not sure if it got better or worse. With Rakdos in here tho I think I want to add a couple more fatties and drop things like Nekrataal or his red cousin for bigger bombs and pincers rather than random sac-fodder for Lyzolda. As a 3/1, she doesn't always stick around very long...
