Creature (5)

Simple Rakdos Aggro paired with Theros's new devotion and heroic mechanics.

Quick start with Rakdos Cackler and Rakdos Shred-Freak punishing for 4 second turn can get evil if paired with Madcap Skills .

Agent of the Fates can serve his purposes after he has his Dying Wish and Coordinated Assault to potentially wipe three creatures with first strike deathtouch and heroic triggers. When he's served his purpose toss him for Altar's Reap to acquire new power.

Fanatic of Mogis is great when paired with Hammer of Purphoros, Rakdos Cackler, and Rakdos Shred-Freak .

Mogis's Marauder can allow all of Rakdos's puppets to swing through with intimidate, colors permitting. Also, because of the Shred Freak's two black/red he counts toward Fanatic of Mogis allowing him to swing through as well.

Finally, the Gray Merchant of Asphodel the big man on which everyone has their mind. He always triggers for two, and the agents, cacklers, and shred freaks help increase the life gap. Plus he's a great chump blocker.

Hammer of Purphoros can help when that Supreme Verdict hits and I'm out of gas.

I keep most of my decks pretty cheap, because I am cheap. Feel free to try it out and let me know what you think.

Needs more aggro. — Nov. 18, 2013

Edit

Still haven't tested at fnm cause I can't get a day off but I played against some of my friend's casual/legacy decks and won pretty much every time. It was good, but it wasn't good enough I needed to make it more aggro and run into less color problems. Drop Fanatic of Mogis not enough red to keep him. Add Desecration Demon a four drop 6/6 that adds two to my devotion. Deviant Glee I found in one of my piles to get rid of and realized it would be perfect to slap on a Rakdos Shred-Freak or a Rakdos Cackler early game for an extra two damage and trample if need be. Dying Wish was neat, gain life but at the time the strongest creature was Fanatic of Mogis at only two on the roster. Dropped'em all. Altar's Reap to get card advantage but with Toil / Trouble i can get some card advantage, gain the life back or just smack someone for the win. Lifebane Zombie and Nightveil Specter are soon to be new additions.
