Pretty straightforward Rakdos deck. Not intended to be super-competitive, it's Rakdos in spirit in that I want to be doing a lot of damage to everyone, and I don't too much mind including myself in that. This deck isn't a high priority for me, but I'm slowly gathering up cool stuff for it. Some highlights

Vedalken Orrery: Besides the general value of being able to sneak things in, with Rakdos this allows me to take advantage of people attacking each other or taking damage from something like Havoc Festival, Spiteful Visions, Zo-Zu, etc during their turn, and even lets me cast Rakdos during an opponent's turn.

Cloudstone Curio: My favorite. With Vedalken Orrery, lets me bounce Havoc Festival end-of-turn to avoid taking the hit myself. Also can form an infinite combo with Rakdos's cost reduction making two colorless creatures cost 0, along with Pandemonium / Purphoros/Warstorm Surge in play to deal damage each ETB.

War Elemental: This is one of those cards that you might have to play with before you realize how nuts it is. Whenever any damage is dealt to any opponent it gets bigger.If it isn't removed, that gets huge really fast.

Grave Consequences: Not exactly an all-star, but very under-appreciated. Basically it will either force everyone to exile their graveyards (and cycle for a card) or it'll do a very respectable amount of damage (life loss, same difference for Rakdos) for 2 mana. Cast this in response to something like Rise of the Dark Realms and allow everyone except the caster to exile their own creatures, and if the player casting it has a fully stocked / dredged / traumatized graveyard then they have a lose/lose decision to make.
