Droxium I agree, I think Lifebane Zombie would be a great side board. He could replace my night howler and possibly a Rakdos Cackler for control match ups. And I could replace my Doom Blade with Duress . In sideboard I could take out the Electrickery because 1/1 tokens aren't really a thing anymore haha.

rakdosrunner thanks for the playtesting. Crypt Ghast might be kind of fun here with Rakdos's Return and would help monstrous creatures. Ember Swallower if you want to be more typical. Ogre Battledriver could be worth trying. Duress would also be a pretty suitable replacement for Thoughtseize . Also, I thought it was pretty funny how you called yourself "a hipster of magic" :)

I'd like to replace Rakdos's Return what are your guy's ideas on that

October 28, 2013 11:24 p.m.

I think getting rid of Rakdos's Return might be a good idea. What kind of card are you thinking of replacing it with? A card in similar vein or a completely different card?

Anything really. I'm thinking something around 3 mana cost or so, perferebly an instant. I have no clue what I want and Hero's Downfall isn't an option.

Read the Bones and Anger of the Gods were all I could find in the 3 mana instant/sorcery slot that felt good. Thoughtseize could always go there if you dont like those. Maybe some Lifebane Zombie s could work?

lol phoenixdesade right? It's a weird combination of a deck, but it gives me a lot of versatility and helps me keep people off balance. A lot of the better players either have no clue what to do and get railed or have the perfect answer and rail me lol but I also think thats just part of any decks weakness.

Be careful on Lifebane Zombie , he only removes creatures, so he won't get rid of Supreme Verdict or Sphinx's Revelation . As a potential to replace Rakdos's Return , Read the Bones is a good idea, and you might also enjoy Whip of Erebos . The whip fits this deck's style, and gives you something to do with your mana on a slow round mid-game. You can also use it defensively to whip in a chump blocker and gain some life. In general, the agression here is good, and giving all these critters lifelink will really extend your mid-game (hopefully). I know it's 4 mana, but I never regret drawing it or putting it out there.

rakdosrunner says... #13

This deck has changed so many times...

I still think you have too much two-drops..

However, very good deck..

November 10, 2013 5:24 a.m.

laoshan3337 yea, I do that because I only use this one deck. I have only been playing for about 5 months and I just keep trying to improve the same deck. Even post rotation I just swapped some cards around haha.

Sometimes I also like to adjust my deck according to the current Meta.

A lot of people use this site to display their deck ideas, however, this is my actual deck. I do this so my friends can see what I'm running as we all go to different colleges. So as I change my actual deck I change this one as well.

Rakdos isn't doing well right now from what I am told but I've seen a few decent looking Rakdos decks and this is similar to about what I've seen minus loyal legion. I would recommend firefist striker instead. but eh, both work, and I cud be wrong.
