My take on a R/B/W Orzhov Rakdos Aggro Deck. The win condition is Immortal Servitude bringing a Godless Army of Unleashed CMC 2 creatures with Haste to bear for a single massive blow, ideally after a few turns of whittling your opponent down through the one-two punch of Orzhov Extortion and Rakdos' suicidal Brutality. Gotta fill the Graveyard, after all.

CMC 2 Creatures:

Basilica Screecher : Serving double duty as a Flyer & an Extortionist. Requires binding to Lightning Mauler to attack immediately following Immortal Servitude. Note: Moved to Sideboard while experimenting with Thrull Parasite.

Grim Roustabout : Handy early on as a Regenerate-blocker (until you WANT him to die). Requires binding to Lightning Mauler to attack immediately following Immortal Servitude.

Lightning Mauler: A critical card as it can haste any other creature and itself played either from the hand or fresh from the tomb. A full playset means that an ideal Immortal Servitude will resolve with eight Hasted creatures attacking in a single turn, not including creatures that have already possess Haste, naturally.

Thrill-Kill Assassin: More I.S. Fodder. Alternatively, becomes enemy creature removal when paired with Marked for Death, killing a blocker of your choice and (probably) sending Thrill Kill to his death. If only he were Immortal; Oh, wait. Requires binding to Lightning Mauler to attack immediately following Immortal Servitude.

Rakdos Shred-Freak is notable for NOT needing Lightning Maulers helping hand to make the best of I.S. thanks to Haste. Against slower decks he's free damage on turn two.

Other creatures:

Knight of Obligation : In addition to more Extortion, his value as a Vigilant blocker in a deck running Unleashed creatures can't be disputed.

Other cards of note:

Mark for Death : Mark a major blocker and send in Thrill-Kill Assassin or mark a Weenie and send in EVERYONE ELSE

Blind Obedience: Extortion and Synergy with Haste against chump blockers and creature reliant decks.

Swift Justice : A cheap reliable combat trick for attacking or blocking with creatures slightly weaker than your opponents.

Madcap Skills: Makes the chosen Unleashed that much harder and more painful to Block.
