Rakdos doesn't mess around. Do some damage and then poop out Eldrazi combos.

So, there's a lot of interactions here as far as combos go.

Cloudstone Curio is just dumb with any 2 eldrazi.

With curio out, maybe you cast oblivion sower, exile 4 cards, maybe get a land, then cast Ulamog, blowing something up, bounce the sower, recast the sower, exile 4 more cards, bounce Ulamog, cast Ulamog, etc. It gets even more ridiculous with koz and ulamog. Remember, it doesn't trigger on artifacts entering however.

Ancestral statue can get you back something else like Dread Cacodemon, to blow out your opponent's creatures or Duplicant to exile something, however, it also just combos with Purphoros to kill the entire table.

Razaketh adds another level to the deck. If you get razaketh to stick, you basically just win however you choose.

Tutor up Kozilek, play him for free, draw 4 cards, sac koz to razaketh which shuffles your grave in and then tutor for koz again to just draw forever.

Want to destroy your opponents board? Tutor Ulamog, cast him for free, kill 2 things, sac him to tutor himself and do it again.

Life getting a little bit low? Tutor up Kokusho or Gray Merchant, cast for BB then sac him to Razaketh gain 15, increasing your discount by 15 more. To tutor up whatever else.

Even funnier is to just tutor up Stalking Vengeance, cast it for RR, then sac something else to tutor up anything. When you sac to razaketh, the vengeance deals a bajillion damage to somebody.

Wheel of Fortune, Bloodgift Demon, knollspine dragon, disciple of bolas and memory jar all help refill your hand to keep casting more of the things. Combustible Gearhulk will almost always draw you 3 cards fir RR because if it doesn't, it's liable to do 15+ damage. They also work well with Psychosis crawler. Psychosis crawler will also help enable casting Rakdos just by drawing a card on your turn. Bloodgift demon can draw you some extra cards or if you really need to, you can just ping an opponent to cast Rakdos.

A little bit of lifegain sprinkled throughout with Disciple of Bolas, Kokusho,Gray Merchant and Crypt Ghast.

The newest addition is Sunbird'sInvocation. Good God almighty is this card ridiculous. Casting free eldrazi and looking 10 or 12 cards deep for more free stuff is absolutely fucking bonkers. You're gonna have a good time.

This deck is pretty fun to play and even if you don't just explode into a victory, you're still full of crazy threats that have to be dealt with. One of my favorite decks to play and can take your opponent's by surprise.

Occassionally I'll switch out some of the creatures like tossing in a Kaervek, the Merciless. If you're having trouble with boardwipes, maybe stick a Soul of New Phyrexia in there.
