FATE REFORGED SPOILERS —Jan. 10, 2015
So guys, today I checked the last spoilers from FRF. Do you think there are cards that could fit in this deck? For example, I like Temur Battle Rage and I was thinking about play it instead of [[assault strobe. let me know what you think! :D

Dude! This deck looks so awesome! One thing though, while I do love Madcap Skills, have you thought of maybe trying Deviant Glee? I think it'd be great here maybe...

Thank you so much! :D So, Deviant Glee is, without doubt, a great card. But the main aim of this deck is to attack with evasive creatures that have flying or Madcap Skills or targeted by Rogue's Passage, so the trample isn't that useful here.. For the +2/+1 buff, I prefer the Virulent Swipe, since it lasts the turns necessary to finish off my opponent, and can simultaneously create a lethal and unpredictable first strike + deathtouch blocker (or attacker) on Gurmag Swiftwing. Thank you again for the comment! Any other suggestion would be great!

It saddens me that you see multiple turn three wins as the title but only one turn three win and a rather hard to cast one at that. Anywho it's a cool deck +1

Thanks, I modified the deck and I'm thinking about more ways to win on turn 3-4. Btw, the limited amount of letters in the title doesn't let me write "..turn 3-4 wins", so I wanna change the name to write "3-4". Thanks for the +1!

Oh it's all cool just pointing it out. Yea no problem! I just updated my deck to modern and it has a different style of turn 3 win maybe you can check it out? Turn 3 win//Turn 3 Rakdos, Lord of Riots

Nice suggestion Mortum but I can't find a slot for it.. Also I already have Soul's Fire, that has a great synergy with Tainted Strike :) thanks for the comment!

Lightning Bolt is just too good not to be in here.

Desecration Demon, Master of Cruelties, and Underworld Cerberus are all pretty sub-par in Modern. I also don't like Tainted Strike, as it is pretty bad unless you draw multiple pump spells

Hmmmm,I'm a big fan of the Cult (of Rakdos, that is, not Blue Oyster...).Thought #1: Have you thought of running Temple of Malice or Bloodfell Caves instead of the Guildgates?Rationale: It just seems to me that the Temples would give you scry/card advantage and the Bloodfell Caves would give you life.Thought #2: I've run the playtest...and the biggest frustration I could foresee would be mana screw. How 'bout running at least 23 lands (4 Temples/Caves) and dropping a Desecration Demon. Although the Demon is good...it's not the absolute best. Too many times, I have had my opponent sack tokens to prevent me from swinging.
Overall, I think it's a great Rakdos deck. Not sure how it will stand in the metagame of modern. I'm curious to see how you do with it.

So, the main purpose of this deck, as you can see, is to ramp with Generator Servant and Wild Cantor into something big like the demon, the master or the cerberus, so I don't think I'll take them out.. I like the idea to reduce the amount of demons, I'll add 1 double land. I'm also a budget player, and I already ordered this deck online, so the scrylands are not in my range :/ I'll add the lifegain lands asap. What about Virulent Swipe instead of Tainted Strike? It could be a nice aggro substitute, and a possible removal on a Gurmag Swiftwing.

no t1 creatures kinda slows this deck down. You play red so I suggest you take some T1 haste guys like Goblin Guide and take out some 2 drops
December 28, 2014 3:52 p.m.
As I said before, I'm a budget player, and I can't afford the Goblin Guide :/
December 28, 2014 9:33 p.m.
I don't think Goblin Guide is so great. For my money, I'll take Rakdos Cackler any day.
December 29, 2014 6:29 p.m.
I ordered the Rakdos Cackler too, so I'll do some playtest with it when I'll have the deck! Thanks for the suggestion!

Nice deck! +1 :) I think Vexing Devil would work really well here as it gives you a turn one play when you seem to do nothing on your examples of your best hands and its either 4 damage for 1 mana or an amazing creature to use with Madcap Skills and the rest of your synergies!

I really am in love with Vexing Devil, but as a budget player it's a dream now.. lol I'll try to get a 4x as soon as I have the money to buy it :) thanks for the suggestion and the +1!
January 1, 2015 6:55 a.m.
I like it, but it would modify the structure of the deck too much. Thanks for the suggestion!
