Rakdos Chainer Deck

Build around discarding/sacrificing creatures and recurring them. Some utility artifacts for reducing casting such as Cloud Key, The Immortal Sun and the monuments.

Notable "combos"

• Haakon, Stromgald Scourge + Nameless Inversion = Gun down any creatures without hexproof
• Haakon, Stromgald Scourge + Ashes of the Fallen/Conspiracy = Cast creatures from graveyard even without discarding from Chainer
• Haakon, Stromgald Scourge + Liliana's Standard Bearer + Ashnod's Altar = Card Draw
• Any Discard(Chainer, Nightmare Adept most of the time) + The Scorpion God + Archfiend of Ifnir = Mass -1/-1 counters, card draw and board control

Why certain cards are in the deck:

• Curse of Fool's Wisdom; there will always be someone on the board whose card draw goes out of control
• Kozilek, Butcher of Truth; protection against graveyard hate. Can use Entomb to tutor it out in case of emergency
• Xiahou Dun, the One-Eyed; this card recurs any black card, not just creatures. Perfect to get back enchantments which been destroyed
• Torgaar, Famine Incarnate; Sac outlet, as well as stopping any player whose life total is too high
