Rakdos Control in EDH

So yeah, heavy removal suite, draw power, combo finishes.

Combos!

• Mikaeus, the Unhallowed + Triskelion = Infinite damage
• Mikaeus, the Unhallowed + Murderous Redcap + sac outlet = infinite damage
• Maralen of the Mornsong + Stranglehold = I get a cruel tutor every turn, my opponent doesn't draw nor get to tutor, but still loses 3 life. Also, my opponent can't take extra turns.
• Thornbite Staff + Avatar of Woe = Destroy all creatures they control (can indefinitely untap to tap again)
• Thornbite Staff + Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker + Ashnod's Altar/Phyrexian Altar = infinite mana
• Thornbite Staff + Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker + Triskelion = infinite damage
• Nim Deathmantle + Grave Titan + sac outlet + infinite mana = infinite tokens
• Nim Deathmantle + Ashnod's Altar + Grave Titan = infinite mana and infinite tokens.
• Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker + Zealous Conscripts = infinite hasty 3/3's
• Grave Betrayal + Grave Pact + sac outlet = Very strong synergy
• Mogis, God of Slaughter + Leyline of the Void = Strong synergy and makes it so your opponent can't benefit from the sacrifices.
• Bloodchief Ascension + Mindcrank = Infinite life + damage + mill after having 3 quest counters on it.

The deck is in fact Skyrim themed, drawing inspiration from the Daedric Artifact questline for Mehrunes Razor. (Of which, Elbrus, the Binding Blade represents; Mogis represents Mehrunes Dagon himself.).

So basically, right from the bat you wanna tutor for that Maralen of the Mornsong and use her to get Stranglehold . You want to deny them their resources as early as possible, and start getting your combo pieces.

The deck has a lot of cards that synergize well with Mogis, God of Slaughter and there's a lot of cards that can kickstart the devotion. Since I've got a lot of cards that count for double R or B, Gray Merchant of Asphodel can still get crazy, and Erebos, God of the Damned can also get in on the action.

Mogis animated means the opponent is on a 3 turn commander damage timer. He closes out games surprisingly quick.
