This is the deck I've been working on since day one.

A couple of the reason behind cards.

~~~~CREATUES~~~~

Legion Loyalist and Rakdos Cackler- these cards provide great early game 1 drops along with easy late game numbers. Loyalist provides an amazing battalion as well to help on that turn three swing

Spike Jester- paired with any other 1 drop he's putting down a combined 4-5 damage on turn 2.

Chandra's Phoenix- with my combination of burn spells and planes walkers the bird will continue to hit the board all game with an easy 2 evasive damage.

Nighthowler- He may seem out of place but he is just a beast in this deck. Bestowed on even a Legion Loyalist can turn him into a 5/5 swinger. He also avoids board wipes and becomes even stronger afterwords.

Desecration Demon- amazing 4 drop with continued removal each turn he doesn't hit.

Stormbreath Dragon- he is a great finisher by putting down quick evasive damage and a big body.

~~~~INSTANTS and SORCERIES~~~~

Dreadbore and Doomblade- great creature removal all game, and helps rid of planes walkers as well

Lightning Strike- early creature removal or late game finisher

Magma Jet- early creature removal with great scry ability to set up your early assault

Rakdos's Return- clears opponents hand to even the field mid game or finishes the game with damage.

~~~~PLANESWALKER~~~~

Chandra, Pyromaster - her first ability is boss. With my low drop creatures and numbers I can continue to swing through big guys to put that finishing damage down around turn 5-6.

Her second ability helps keep my hand full by taking a second draw each turn. WIth 4 mana on the field already casting her, I can then cast any other card in my deck besides Stormbreath Dragon.

+1 if you like and tell me what you think!

Thanks RakdosRunner
