This deck is one of the most fun I've built. The general idea is to swing and use the mana generated by Radha to power combat tricks and/or big postcombat plays. Radha's playstyle synergizes with a ton of weird cards that had been sitting lonely in my binder for years, like Thunderblade Charge and Tower of Calamities.

The deck construction is fairly straightforward, and can be described as "aggro ramp." It wants to get into combat a lot, and surviving combat is preferable. The cards can be roughly separated into four categories: 1) strong/resilient creatures, 2) expendable creatures, 3) cards that help survive combat, and 4) high-cost/mana sink payoff cards.

Top combos:

• Decree of Annihilation + Growing Rites of Itlimoc (cycle Decree, flip Rites on end step)
• Hateflayer + Song of Freyalise (Hateflayer taps itself as many times as needed, paying 1/3 of its untap cost each time)
• Nacatl War-Pride + Pyreheart Wolf (makes a pile of unblockable 3/3s the size of the defending player's board, plus one)
• Grand Warlord Radha + Myr Superion (Radha comes down and powers out Superion same turn)
• Grand Warlord Radha + Hellkite Charger (With enough creatures, Radha's mana powers an arbitrary number of combat phases)
• Grand Warlord Radha + Tower of Calamities (12 damage on a stick makes a lovely combat trick)
