Rakdos Berserkers under Kardur We want a grand Melee and for everyone to fight it out. We have three categories here, Gas (Ramp, Madness, and Card Draw as this gets out value for us faster, which we need), Removal (interaction and ways to deal with problems), and then Winning (Protection, Goading, and Haste Enablers for combat as that's how we win.



Combos!!!:

Pyromancer's Goggles: This pairs with any instant or sorcery other than Disrupt Decorum, as us goading everything twice this turn doesn't do too much for us. We can get double value out of a solid amount of card draw and removal.

Terminal Agony Cast for two at madness cost for one of our discard draw spells to kill two creatures instead of one in this combo

Fatal Grudge Sacrifice one nonland permanent to make everyone else sacrifice two of the type and draw two cards

Big Score Only have to discard 1 card for four treasures and to draw 4 cards. This is huge, same applies to the other two red draw spells in deck

Pirate's Pillage See Big Score

Unexpected Windfall See Big Score

Valakut Awakening   Don't like what you got the first round? Put those on the bottom of the deck and try again. If nothing else you still netted the additional card twice making this amazing here.

Kill! Maim! Burn! Destroy 2 artifacts, two creatures, and 3 to the face against two targets or hit someone twice for 6 to the face

Bedevil Kill two targets Artifacts, Planeswalkers, or Creatures

Kolaghan's Command Get all the value here, by getting a total of 4 of the options, and being able to pick each one twice. That's a lot of value there.

Cauldron Dance I saved the best for last, with this you put two creatures from your hand into play with haste, two from your 'yard with haste onto the battlefield. That's 4 creatures for 6 mana, at the end of turn that is then two death triggers on the ones you put from your hand die, and two leaving the battlefield trigger as the two creatures from the yard go to your hand.

Cauldron Dance One creature from your hand for a turn with haste and then sac it at end of turn, and put a creature from graveyard for a turn with haste and then put it in your hand of end of turn. Really fun (counts as a half as it's a bit of reanimation and reclamation)

Victimize Sac one creature to bring back two

Patriarch's Bidding Brings back all of one type of creature for everyone (each player can choose one), not great against tribal decks but can go perfect if we can get a big goad off right after

Malakir Rebirth   A great it's not actually dead card, also a land of we need one

Haunting Voyage for 6 we can bring back two creatures that share a type, or pay two to Foretell (protecting it from discard and such) and then cast for 7 later and get all of one type back for us. Worth it
