The main idea of this deck is to be fast and restless.You will want to have as many creatures as fast as you can and attack each turn. No need to care about them, since you will get them back once Underworld Cerberus dies.

Once you unleash their power, no one can stop them...

Further explanation on why I chose each card:

  • Dreadbore - annihilate your opponent's most annoying creature or planeswalker for 2 mana. Only problem: it's a sorcery. Still considering Hero's Downfall for its place;

  • Herald of Torment - 3/3 Flying creature for 3 mana with Bestow;

  • Mogis, God of Slaughter - amazing creature. Gives you control over your opponent's creatures. Devotion is not a problem;

  • Ordeal of Purphoros - since most of your creatures have Unleash, only 2 attacks are needed to deal 3 extra damage on target. In the meanwhile, it pumps up your creature making it tougher to handle;

  • Rakdos, Lord of Riots - a must on this deck. 6/6 with Flying and Trample on 4th turn;

  • Underworld Cerberus - well... I think the card speaks for itself. 6/6 that can only be blocked by 3+ creatures that only costs 5 mana. How the hell is this possible? It can even retrieve your dead creatures to your hand.

However, this deck's composition has its flaws against heavy control decks. Sometimes sideboard is needed:

  • Pithing Needle - I found this card to be a master of control. Makes your opponent's AEtherling or planeswalker a little puppy;

  • Bile Blight - when you're fighting against annoying token spammers;

  • Sire Of Insanity - is there anything better than leaving your "controller" opponent with no cards in hand? No more control for him during your turn;

  • Slaughter Games - after you know which are the most important cards in your opponents strategy, why not slaughter his hopes? I guarantee you will feel delighted when you see his face after you having removed all his Sphinx's Revelation from the game.

How to play it:

| Turn 1: Rakdos Cackler ;

| Turn 2: Ordeal of Purphoros ;

| Turn 3: Hammer of Purphoros;

| Turn 4: Mogis, God of Slaughter or Rakdos, Lord of Riots.

From here on, I think you know what you have to do... Destroy!

And please remember to never have fear of Unleashing your full power. Be merciless!

Hope you enjoyed the idea of the deck. Leave your comment below and let me know how I can improve it.

Also, if you feel like it has some potential: +1. Thank you ;)
