Rakdos Phryexian Sculpture

Standard BR (Rakdos)

JMullen


Sideboard


This deck started out as just realizing that when you played with Keldon Warcaller and Phyrexian Scriptures, you could basically just boardwipe on the same turn, making it a 2 card Day of Judgement that left your creatures intact, if built correctly.

So, having such a synergy, I had to build around it. Give Voltaic Servant and Traxos, Scourge of Kroog were also very synergistic and aggressive given the above premise, I decided to throw them in. The rest of the deck sort of evolved over a few plays, and mentally, this is about as far as I can take it.

Angrath, the Flame-Chained was a natural inclusion for me. It gave me a later turn play, and a way to punish players who had low curves that played more cards after a wipe. It has a bit of a message mismatch, because I needed card draw, and I felt that your Sign in Blood effects were not good enough. So it conflicts a bit with the message from Howling Golem. I'm not sure what to replace it with.

Yahenni, Undying Partison was a suggestion from a family member, and it turned out to be a really good addition with the scriptures, so it's stuck. I also have a lot of legendaries at this point, so Jaya's Immolating Inferno just was a natural fit.

My sideboard is junk. I'm still trying to figure out what the meta even looks like.

Weakness of the deck that I know of : Green anything that runs with Thrashing Brontodon. This deck just folds to Artifact/Enchantment hate, and that is it.

Strenghts of the deck, that I know of : Gifts is very susceptable to this deck. Scriptures kills their grave just as they start their finishing setup, and it disrupts their main game plan.

Iffy Matchups - History of Benalia decks are a bit touchy. The deck can stabilize against them, but if you don't watch how you trigger your Sagas, or you aren't able to time a Jaya's properly, then you are in for a lot of a lot of hurt.

.....

In any case, I'm open to fresh Ideas. Please feed me some!
