Because it's Intense. Like a Circus Fire. Get it? In. Tents.

I guess I should actually talk about the deck a little bit. The entire idea of the deck is to just get Rakdos out as soon as possible. The deck is consistent enough, getting Rakdos himself out between turns 2 and 4, occasionally on turn 1. Any turn he comes out after that I consider a miss and just fall back on churning out any other demons. Everything is a resource to this deck so don't be afraid to spend your life, throw away cards, or sacrifice anything to ensure that you can get Rakdos out as fast as possible to lock your opponents out of the game.

Anything in the Sideboard is intended to be switched in for casual games in case you want to play the deck without hosing your friends. Rakdos, Lord of Riots is the alternate commander.

EDIT: I made changes to increase Big Demon consistency, and it works much better as a competitive take-one-person-with-you style of deck, but has the potential to ruin the entire game!
