My Favorite Commander/EDH Deck:

Updated 2/12/19

The more players in the game the stronger my Rakdos, Lord of Riots EDH deck becomes, due to the fact this deck likes to abuse "each opponent" or even "each player" damage cards, to gain maximum ramp from Rakdos. This deck is a passion of mine that I've been continuously working on, in an attempt to make the strongest deck I can. Although, I want my deck to be strong I opt not to run any combos; because if I was trying to play a combo deck id play my Mizzix of the Izmagnus or my Aminatou, the Fateshifter deck. The goal, of this deck, is to get an life-loss enabler out, before T3, and cast Rakdos, Lord of Riots on curve T4 to start the value train full of eldrazi. This deck is infamous for getting out of control fast and reeking havoc on those in my playgroup, if not targeted often and early on in the game before I attack with Rakdos, Lord of Riots .

Turn 4 Rakdos, Lord of Riots Enablers Ranked

1. Cryptolith Fragment  : Can allow you to cast Rakdos, Lord of Riots even if you miss your fourth land drop
2. Lobber Crew : Synergies well with my multi-colored commander, and with the 9 other non-commander multicolored spells in the deck, allowing me to often play a colorless creature up to 6 CMC on T4
3. Pilgrim's Eye : Ensure you hit you 4th land drop of the proper color, and has flying to make it 99.9% guaranteed to hit T4 haha
4. Plague Spitter : Deals one damage to every creature as well on upkeep, which is great against tokens and early game mana dorks
5. Nettle Drone : Synergies well with the other 21 colorless spells, but the one toughness sucks
6. Spear Spewer : Great to play T1, and the tap ability makes it great with haste enablers
7. Shepherd of Rot : Having a CMC of 2 offsets the fact it has 1 toughness, and it works well with Sidisi, Undead Vizier , Neheb, the Eternal and Loyal Subordinate
8. Loyal Subordinate : Low toughness but the menace and great lieutenant ability makes-up for that
9. Thermo-Alchemist : Untaps with 11 spells in the deck, and since its 2 CMC it gives you more of an opportunity to play ramp or a haste enabler T3
10. Sin Prodder : The menace allows it to swing freely normally, but playing this T3 Can Seriously effect your ability to hit land-drops
11. Judith, the Scourge Diva : Allows Rakdos, Lord of Riots to kill opponents in only three swings with commander damage, and can cause life-losss if blocked and killed, hopefully deterring the opponent from blocking if the creatures would trade.
12. Walking Ballista : It may be disappointing to casting him as an enabler, that dies, but its always going to deal damage and allow you to cast Rakdos, Lord of Riots on T4 before combat hopefully with a haste enabler
13. Vial Smasher the Fierce : Although a 2/3 attacker on T4 isn't good, if it does deals damage to a player you could cast colorless creatures under 6 CMC for free T4
14. Burnished Hart : A 2/2 attacker on T4 isn't good but if it works the fixing/ramp later is nice, especially when finding swamps with Crypt Ghast or Nirkana Revenant out
15. Sunscorched Desert : Hard to set up but by having colored mana from a mana rock, or having a land like Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth or Shadowblood Ridge allows you to cast Rakdos, Lord of Riots on T4
16. Piranha Marsh : Hardest to set up requires colored mana from a mana rock in order to cast Rakdos, Lord of Riots T4
17. Expedition Map : Can find the above 2 enablers and stay on curve to cast Rakdos, Lord of Riots with colored ramp

Removal:

• Terminate : Cheap creature removal at instant speed
• Bedevil : Hero's Downfall with the added benefit of destroying artifacts
• Curtains' Call : The high CMC is great for cards like Sin Prodder , Vial Smasher the Fierce , Combustible Gearhulk and Twilight Prophet , while keeping the theme of being a multiplayer powerhouse
• Duplicant : Exiles a creature, and can also be reanimated and discounted
• Meteor Golem : Destroys any non-land permanent, and works well with Conduit of Ruin and Sanctum of Ugin
• Ulamog, the Ceaseless Hunger : Exiles 2 Permanents upon cast and acts as a beater to ramp into
• Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre : Good permanent removal, that can be looped for 2 life with Razaketh, the Foulblooded , and annihilator 4

The following spells are versatile utility spells that have the ability to act as artifact removal and more

• Rakdos Charm : Doubles as a damage spell, and can exile a graveyard if need be, all at instant speed
• Kolaghan's Command : Great value at instant speed, due to it almost alway being a 2 for 1 in card advantage
• Fiery Confluence : Everything the deck wants it could be a Mini-board wipe, the strongest each opponent damage spell, or artifact removal

Board wipes:

• Toxic Deluge : Cheap board whip, that swaps life for flexibility
• Last One Standing : Cheap wipe that works well with the above 2 cards by leaving behind a creature
• Chandra's Ignition : Does damage to opponents and all creatures along with leaving a creature behind as well
• Dread Cacodemon : One sided board wipe that can be ramped in to play with Rakdos, Lord of Riots

Getting you what you need:

• Sanctum of Ugin : Often gets me a second eldrazi for a heavy discount or even for free, due to Rakdos, Lord of Riots 's ability, after casting one of the 7 colorless creatures that would trigger this land
• Expedition Map : Used to find those situational lands you need in order to cast Rakdos, Lord of Riots
• Faithless Looting : Although its card filtering, it works well with Anger and digs 2 cards deep and be flashback-ed later
• Sensei's Divining Top : Lets you filter your draws and works well with Sin Prodder , Twilight Prophet , and Etali, Primal Storm
• Canyon Slough : Can be cycled in a pinch, for 2 mana, to draw a card
• Demonic Tutor : Finds the best card for every situation in the game
• Theater of Horrors : A cool Phyrexian Arena variant that synergies well with the life-loss theme of the deck
• Sin Prodder : not a definite draw but with the deck having a high average CMC of about 4.5 denying it could be quite taxing
• Phyrexian Arena : An extra draw on each of your upkeeps to refill your hand, the life-loss isn't a problem in an aggressive deck
• Twilight Prophet : Only works when you have the city's blessing, but it it a power-house with Rakdos, Lord of Riots in-play
• Sidisi, Undead Vizier : A tutor on a creature that can be used to find and cast Artisan of Kozilek for free, if you have dealt 9 damage with Rakdos, Lord of Riots out, to bring back Sidisi, Undead Vizier after extorting itself to get another extort trigger
• Etali, Primal Storm : Although its not exactly card draw, it might be better depending on what you hit off the top of everyones decks
• Combustible Gearhulk : Not a guaranteed draw but with an average CMC of 4.33 and some noticeably large eldrazi titans your opponents understand the implications
• Rune-Scarred Demon : Tutors for any card and leaves behind a big 6/6 flyer, whats not to like
• Knollspine Dragon : Although, this makes you discard your hand it will normally draw you upwards of 10 cards
• Razaketh, the Foulblooded : A tutor on a stick, that can loop Kozilek, Butcher of Truth or Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre for 2 life to get additional cast triggers, after causing enough life loss with Rakdos, Lord of Riots out
• Kozilek, Butcher of Truth : Can easily be ramped into play with Rakdos, Lord of Riots after life loss, to refill your hand and act as a beater with annihilator

Serious suggestions are welcomed!
